Why You'll Wear These Every Day
Glare Off
Polarized UV400 lenses cut reflected light on water, sand, and pavement.
Real Bamboo
Fast-growing, renewable, and naturally water-resistant.
Real Wood
A grain pattern no other pair repeats. Yours is one of one.
All-Day Light
Spring hinges flex with your face. Comfortable from coffee to sunset.
California Made For It
Designed in San Diego and tested under the same sun you'll wear it in.
Real bamboo wears light all day.
Bamboo is strong, flexible, and barely there on your face. It handles sand, spray, and long days better than plastic ever will.
California light is brutal. These aren't bothered.
Sun bouncing off the ocean, the sand, and the pavement all at once. Polarized lenses keep your eyes relaxed through all of it.
Materials That Earn Their Place
Real Bamboo
One of the fastest-growing plants on earth. Light on your face, strong in your bag, and naturally water-resistant.
Polarized UV400 Lenses
Full UVA and UVB protection with a polarizing filter that kills reflected glare off water, sand, and pavement.
Flexible Spring Hinges
The temples flex outward and come back. They will not pinch your head, and they will not snap in your bag.
Malibu, CA
Every Cali Life frame is named after a California place, and the design follows the place. Malibu, CA inspired this one: its light, its pace, and the way people actually live there.
Wear it where it was dreamed up, or bring a piece of California wherever you are.
Why wood, and what to expect
Weight
Reviewers' most repeated word is "lightweight". Bamboo is hollow-grained and lighter than most plastics.
Lenses
Polarized UV400 on every pair: 100% UVA and UVB blocked, glare off water, sand and pavement cut. Same lens spec on the $39 and the $170 frames.
Care
Rinse with fresh water after the beach and dry them. Store in the pouch. Do not leave them on a hot dashboard; wood and sealant do not like 150 degree heat.
If they break or get lost
Any factory defect: fixed free in the first 90 days, and that never voids the Lifetime Warranty. The Lifetime Warranty is a $4.65 add-on in the cart: lose them, break them or want a different style, and the replacement is 75% off, for life.
If they do not suit you
30 days to exchange for any other style, sale pairs included, and we cover the exchange shipping. Returns within 30 days minus a $5 restock fee.
Who makes them
A small family brand in San Diego. Frames are cut, layered and sealed by hand, so no two grain patterns match. A person answers email within 1 business day.

Free exchanges within 30 days, sale items included; we cover the exchange shipping. Every pair has a 90-day warranty on factory defects. Add the Lifetime Warranty ($4.65) in the cart and any replacement, for any reason, is 75% off for as long as you own them, same style or a different one.
