Purpose-Built Performance, Iconic Swingarm Shape
The Electric Swingarm Sport Sunglasses expand on one of Electric's most recognized silhouettes while holding the line on fit and function. Designed in California and crafted in Italy, the Swingarm delivers the kind of no-compromise construction that active water and outdoor sports demand. Whether you are paddling, driving to the break, or spending a full day on the water, this frame is built to stay put and keep your vision clear.
Frame Construction
The Swingarm frame is molded from injected grilamid, an engineering-grade nylon renowned in performance eyewear for its combination of extreme light weight, flexibility, and resistance to warping under heat and impact. The 6 base mold geometry gives the frame its wraparound-adjacent curvature, minimizing peripheral light intrusion without sacrificing the clean square profile. A performance grip nose bridge locks the frame in place during physical activity, eliminating the slipping that sidelines lesser sunglasses mid-session. The innovative double-action hinge system adds a further margin of durability and smooth open-close action, protecting the frame from the stress of daily packing and unpacking.
Optics
The lenses are cast on a 6 base polycarbonate curve to match the frame geometry, delivering a distortion-free view across the full lens surface. Electric infuses each lens with melanin, a natural chromophore that absorbs high-energy visible light and screens UV at the spectral level rather than relying solely on surface coatings. The result is 100% UV protection across UVA and UVB, plus protection of up to 98% from high-energy blue light. For anyone spending extended time on reflective water or pavement, that blue-light attenuation translates to reduced eye fatigue over a long day.
Craftsmanship and Warranty
Electric designs in California and manufactures the Swingarm in Italy, combining the aesthetic sensibility of Southern California's surf and action-sport culture with the precision of Italian optical manufacturing. Every pair ships with a microfiber cleaning bag for lens care. The Swingarm is backed by Electric's lifetime warranty, reflecting confidence in the materials and construction.
