Blog 2 – The Science of Floating Sunglasses: How We Did It

It’s not magic - but it feels like it when your sunglasses pop right back up instead of sinking into oblivion.

Floating sunglasses work on one simple principle: buoyancy.  But designing a pair that floats without looking bulky, cheap, or clunky?  That took some creativity.

Ultra-light frames: Crafted from specialized materials that are durable yet lighter than water.

Balanced weight distribution: Keeps them upright when they float, so they’re easy to spot and grab.

Polarized lenses: Not just for style - they cut glare and protect your eyes, especially on reflective surfaces like water.

We tested MoovWave in real-life conditions - surfing, paddle boarding, wakeboarding, and even a few accidental “dunks” off the boat.  Every time, they floated.  Every time, they came back.

Curious to try them yourself? Grab a pair from our shop - and take the “float test” on your next adventure.
