Electric Oak Polarized Sunglasses
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for the Sun, Made in Italy
The Electric Oak is a round-silhouette sunglass that earns its $250 price tag through material choices, not marketing. The frame is cut from Mazzucchelli bio acetate, the benchmark Italian acetate supplier for premium eyewear. Each temple carries heat-tempered wire inserts for a precise, consistent fit that holds its shape. A 5-barrel hinge adds the kind of smooth, controlled open-and-close feel that separates a well-made frame from a mass-market one.
Designed in California and manufactured in Italy, the Oak reflects Electric's roots in Southern California surf, snow, and active-lifestyle culture brought to life through European craft.
OHM Polycarbonate Lens Technology
Electric fits the Oak with its OHM polycarbonate lens on a 4 base mold, a shallow curve that minimizes distortion across a wide field of view. The lens is fully polarized to cut horizontal glare off water, sand, and pavement. Every Oak lens delivers 100% UV protection and blocks up to 98% of blue light, reducing eye fatigue during long sessions outdoors.
Polycarbonate is the material of choice for active eyewear: it is lighter than glass, impact-resistant, and optically clear at the thinner profiles a round frame demands.
Frame Construction
Mazzucchelli bio acetate is derived from natural cotton fiber and wood pulp, giving it a depth and richness that injection-molded plastic cannot replicate. It is also more stable dimensionally, so the Oak holds its shape through heat, humidity, and the kind of daily use a sunglass in South Florida actually sees. The 4 base lens curvature is matched to the frame geometry for consistent wrap and optical alignment.
In the Box
Every pair of Electric Oak sunglasses ships with a custom hard case and a microfiber sunglass bag. The hard case protects the frame during travel; the microfiber bag doubles as a lens-cleaning cloth.
Warranty
Electric backs the Oak with a Limited Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
