Electric Dude Sunglasses
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Full Coverage. Zero Compromise.
The Electric Dude is built for people who want serious sun protection without giving up serious style. The large, lightweight square-shaped frame channels a retro-oversized silhouette rooted in decades of surf and action-sport culture, updated with materials and optics that belong in the present.
Melanin-Infused Polycarbonate Lenses
The Dude runs a 4-base melanin-infused polycarbonate lens. Melanin is a naturally occurring pigment that absorbs and filters light across the visible spectrum, including high-energy blue light. The result is a lens that cuts glare without distorting contrast, so you see the water, the horizon, and the lineup the way they actually look. Protection specs: 100% UV protection and up to 98% blue light blocking. Polarized options further eliminate horizontal glare off flat water and wet pavement.
Bio-Resin Frames, Made in Italy
The frame is built from lightweight bio-resin, an impact-resistant material that keeps the Dude comfortable over long sessions without the bulk of traditional acetate. Designed in California and manufactured in Italy, every pair meets Electric's standard for optical and structural quality, backed by a lifetime warranty.
Electric: Rooted in California Surf Culture
Electric was founded in Southern California and has always drawn from the intersection of surfing, snowboarding, music, and art that defines the region's active-lifestyle culture. The Dude is a direct expression of that lineage: a frame that looks as at home on the beach as it does anywhere else. The brand designs its eyewear in California and manufactures each frame in Italy.
