Goodfellow & Co Men's Angular Surf Sunglasses
Our Angular Surf Sunglasses bring coastal cool to everyday wear. Inspired by classic surf culture, these frames feature clean angular lines and a slightly oversized fit that flatters most face shapes. We built them with polarized lenses to cut glare whether you're on the water or just running errands on a bright afternoon.
The acetate frame construction balances durability with lightweight comfort. You get UV400 protection across the entire lens, blocking harmful UVA and UVB rays. We designed the temple tips with subtle flex for an all-day fit that doesn't pinch. These sunglasses transition effortlessly from beach days to downtown coffee runs.
Frame & lens specifications
Frame Design & Fit
We chose an angular wayfarer silhouette because it complements both round and square face shapes. The 54 mm lens width sits in the sweet spot for medium to large faces, offering coverage without feeling oversized. Our acetate construction gives the frames subtle weight and rigidity, so they hold their shape in your bag or car cupholder.
The temples measure 145 mm and taper slightly toward flexible tips that grip gently behind your ears. This design keeps the sunglasses secure during active wear without creating pressure points. The 18 mm bridge sits comfortably on most nose profiles. We skipped adjustable nose pads to maintain the clean aesthetic surf-inspired frames are known for.
Polarized Lens Technology
Polarization works by filtering horizontal light waves that create glare off reflective surfaces. When you’re driving into low sun or looking at water, these horizontal rays bounce back and overwhelm your vision. Our polarized lenses block that specific wavelength, letting you see clearly without squinting.
UV400 Protection
Every lens carries UV400 coating, which means it filters light up to 400 nanometers on the spectrum. That covers the entire range of UVA and UVB radiation. We apply the coating during lens manufacturing rather than as a surface treatment, so it won’t wear off over time. The scratch-resistant topcoat adds another layer of durability for daily handling.
Care & Maintenance
Rinse the lenses under lukewarm water before wiping to remove dust and particles that could scratch the surface. Use the included microfiber sleeve or a clean soft cloth for drying. Avoid paper towels or clothing fabric, which can leave micro-abrasions.
Store the sunglasses in the protective sleeve when not in use. Acetate frames can soften in extreme heat, so don’t leave them on your dashboard in summer. If the temples loosen over time, most optical shops can adjust the fit at no charge. Clean the frames with mild soap and water; skip harsh solvents that can dull the finish.

These sunglasses offer UV400 protection, which blocks 100 percent of UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nanometers on the light spectrum. The UV coating is integrated into the lens material during manufacturing rather than applied as a surface treatment, so it remains effective over the life of the sunglasses.
The Angular Surf Sunglasses have a 54 mm lens width and 145 mm frame width, which typically suits medium to large face shapes. The temples measure 145 mm with flexible tips that accommodate a range of head sizes. The angular silhouette is designed to flatter both round and square face shapes without pinching.
The frames are constructed from acetate, a durable plant-based plastic known for its strength and resistance to warping. Acetate holds its shape better than standard plastic and offers a slight weight that feels premium without being heavy. It also accepts color and finish treatments well, giving the frames a polished look.

The Angular Surf Sunglasses are suitable for moderate activity like biking, hiking, or casual water sports. The flexible temple tips help keep them secure during movement. For high-impact sports or extreme conditions, you may prefer a wraparound style with rubberized grips designed specifically for athletic performance.
Rinse the lenses under lukewarm water first to remove dust and particles. Then dry them with the included microfiber sleeve or a clean soft cloth. Avoid using paper towels, clothing, or rough materials that can leave micro-scratches. For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of mild soap with water before rinsing and drying.
