ABOUT US
WHO ARE WE
After almost two decades in eyewear and a lifelong appreciation for shades, our founder Shane had seen it all – except for well-made, affordable sunglasses that could handle the twists, turns, and rowdiness of life’s most epic adventures. So, he dared to make them himself.Founded on the bold belief that shades should do more than just look cool, SunHeist Eyewear is passionate about empowering fellow thrill-seekers, wind-in-your-hair lovers, sun soaker uppers, and outdoor enthusiasts to get out there and seize every ride, trail, and moment. Because if you have the right gear, what’s going to stop you?
Our partnership with One Tree Planted: Let’s keep it wild out there
For every pair of SUNHEISTS purchased, a tree is planted through One Tree Planted, a nonprofit organization that plants trees on a mission for global reforestation.
As we chase the sun wearing the best shades around, we have found ourselves asking how we can step up to protect a world we believe is so worth exploring. Inspired by our love of the great outdoors, we’re proud to say that for every pair of SUNHEISTS purchased, a tree is planted through One Tree Planted, a nonprofit organization that plants trees on a mission for global reforestation.
It’s our way to give back to what matters most to us, in hopes that the world will never run out of untamed places to get lost in or rad adventures to set out on. With every pair of SUNHEISTS purchased, we’re helping forests rebound from fires and floods, plus creating jobs, building communities, and protecting habitats for biodiversity.

WILLOW FRAME
- Lesley on Oct 05, 2021
I’ve never had sunglasses this lightweight! I always end up with a headache after wearing sunglasses for too long, but with these, I can wear them all day and forget they’re even on. SunHeist nailed it with these!
HICKORY FRAME
John
The Hickory frames are seriously game-changing. The shield design is sleek and super comfortable, and I love how clear the lenses are. It’s like having a whole new level of vision—everything looks sharper and brighter.
SYCAMORE FRAME
Isaac
I’m rough on my gear, especially when I’m out biking, but these frames are still in perfect shape. The lenses are scratch-resistant, and the whole pair feels sturdy without being heavy. Definitely impressed with how durable they are!
