Electric Swingarm Sunglasses
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for Performance, Designed for All-Day Wear
The Electric Swingarm is a lightweight square-frame sunglass engineered around two core ideas: optical clarity and a fit that holds through movement. The frame is constructed from bio-resin, an impact-resistant material that keeps weight down without sacrificing durability. The result is a frame you forget you are wearing.
An innovative double-action hinge system sets the Swingarm apart from standard spring-hinge designs. It allows the temple arms to flex through a wider range of motion, delivering a consistent, secure fit across face shapes without putting pressure on the temples during extended sessions on the water, in the surf, or on the trail.
Melanin-Infused Polycarbonate Lenses
The lenses are the defining technology of the Swingarm. Electric uses a 6-base polycarbonate lens substrate that curves naturally with your field of view, minimizing distortion at the edges. Into that polycarbonate, Electric infuses melanin, the same pigment the human eye uses to filter light. This approach delivers high-contrast visual clarity that feels natural rather than artificially tinted.
- 100% UV protection: blocks UVA and UVB across the full spectrum
- Up to 98% blue light blocking: reduces digital and environmental high-energy visible light fatigue
- Impact-resistant polycarbonate: meets performance optics durability standards
Polarized lens options are available, cutting reflected glare from water and road surfaces for cleaner vision in bright conditions.
Craftsmanship and Sustainability
The Swingarm is designed in California and manufactured in Italy, where Electric's production partners bring decades of optical craftsmanship to every frame. Each pair ships with a Repreve microfiber bag produced from recycled plastics, which doubles as a lens cleaning cloth and protective pouch.
Every Swingarm carries Electric's lifetime warranty, a reflection of confidence in the materials and construction behind the frame.
Electric Brand Heritage
Electric is rooted in Southern California's active-lifestyle culture, drawing from surf, snow, music, and art. The brand's global headquarters is located in the beachside town of San Clemente, California. The Swingarm reflects that heritage: a classic silhouette paired with forward-thinking lens technology and construction quality built for the demands of an outdoor lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are Electric Swingarm sunglasses polarized?
- Polarized lens options are available for the Swingarm. Polarization eliminates reflected glare from water, sand, and road surfaces, making it a strong choice for surfing, fishing, driving, and other bright-condition activities. Check the variant picker for polarized lens options.
- What is a melanin-infused lens and why does it matter?
- Melanin is the natural pigment the human eye uses to filter light. When infused into a polycarbonate lens, it produces high-contrast, natural-looking optical clarity that reduces eye strain in bright conditions. Electric's Swingarm lenses use this technology alongside a 6-base curve to minimize edge distortion and deliver sharp, comfortable vision.
- Do Electric Swingarm sunglasses block blue light?
- Yes. The melanin-infused polycarbonate lenses in the Swingarm block up to 98% of blue light, reducing eye fatigue from both digital screens and high-energy visible light in outdoor environments.
- What is the double-action hinge on the Electric Swingarm?
- The double-action hinge is Electric's proprietary temple hinge system that allows a wider range of flex than a standard spring hinge. It adapts to different face widths and holds a secure, comfortable fit through active use without creating pressure points at the temples.
- Are Electric Swingarm sunglasses good for surfing and water sports?
- Yes. The Swingarm's impact-resistant bio-resin frame, 100% UV-protective melanin-infused lenses, and polarized options make it well suited for surfing, paddleboarding, and time on the water. The double-action hinge maintains fit during movement. Island Water Sports carries them in store and online.
- What warranty does the Electric Swingarm come with?
- Electric offers a lifetime warranty on the Swingarm, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
- Where are Electric Swingarm sunglasses made?
- The Swingarm is designed in California and manufactured in Italy, where Electric partners with experienced optical production facilities to build each frame.
