First impressions are everything and we admit seeing the bamboo protected box that the Sportz sunglasses came in impressed us. The Executive Line is edlee Designs’ cream of the crop and are made from a variety of woods and designed for a variety of tastes. Included in this line is the Sport Series, which includes wraparound frames with a flex fit for those who consider themselves to be active boaters.
The blue mirrored polarized lenses are a nice added touch, and from a boater’s perspective the fact that they float is a very attractive quality. Starting at $169, the last thing you want is your new sunglasses going overboard and sinking to the bottom. I’ve lost a lot of sunglasses this way and I know I’m not alone.

Built with quality in mind from start to finish, edlee Designs take 30 days to build as the frames are precisely machined, finished by hand, assembled and inspected by masters of their art. Besides the bamboo case, the Sportz sunglasses also come with a cloth bag.
