Accessories add the finishing touches to your gear, that's why SALT optics gets major burn when it's time to cap off ensembles. Established in 2006, SALT's inspiration is drawn from the coastal landscape of Santa Barbara, while its head designer David Rose got his chops working for respected eye-wear company Oliver Peoples. Largely influenced by Rose's lifestyle (he was a former surfer for the Quiksilver team), SALT's designs are both functional and fashionable.

The 2009 Sun Collection is best defined by its simplicity and function. The sunglasses incorporate PFV Polarized lenses into forward-thinking frames. Don't believe us? Check out the SALTy goodness for yourself below...
