Not that dropping personal accessories is done on purpose, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be. Sutro Fisk sunglasses are built to last (literally).
Jeff Sand’s plain but sleek design is the key to virtually indestructible sunglasses.
The nose bridge combines a soft silicone pad placed over structural nylon for a customized fit on your beautiful (or not) face.
The second surprise of on the Sutro Fisk sunglasses is the hinges. Each hinge is made of surgical stainless steel and built with a metal injection molding process making them indestructible (or extremely hard to break…either way).
Leaving them out in the sun may causes the metal injection molding to melt, but that shouldn’t be an issue because you’ll never want to take them off.
