The Flying Fisherman Sea Bean Floating Sunglasses in Tortoise/Amber are purpose-built for anglers, boaters, and waterside hunters who can't afford to lose gear to the water. Unlike standard sunglasses that sink the moment they slip off your face or boat rail, these floating sunglasses are engineered with TPX material—a proprietary plastic polymer that's less dense than water, so they stay afloat if you take an unexpected dip. That alone makes them worth the investment for anyone who spends serious time on the water.
The Sea Bean's small-to-medium fit and round lens profile offer unisex styling that works across face shapes, while the six-base-curve lens geometry provides solid optics without bulk. The tortoise frame with amber lenses is a classic, versatile combo that handles variable light and water glare all day. AcuTint® polarized lenses do the real work here: they cut glare at the surface (the nemesis of sight-fishing and spotting), boost contrast and clarity so you actually see what's underwater or on the bank, and block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. The lenses themselves are built from triacetate with an anti-saltwater coating, making them impact and scratch resistant—critical for rough water use where salt spray and incidental contact are inevitable.
TPX as a frame material is a win across the board: it's lighter, more durable, and more flexible than conventional plastics, and it resists heat better too, so they won't warp in direct sun or a hot truck cab. If you fish salt water, hunt from a boat, or just work near water where losing sunglasses would ruin your day, floaters aren't a luxury—they're insurance.

| Float Capability | Yes—stays afloat if dropped in water |
Yes. The frame is made from TPX material, which is less dense than water, so the sunglasses will float if dropped overboard or in the water. This is one of their main advantages for boating, fishing, and waterside use.
Yes. The lenses have an anti-saltwater coating, and the TPX frame is durable and resistant to salt spray and corrosion. The AcuTint® polarized lenses also cut surface glare, which is invaluable for spotting fish and seeing clearly on the water.
Tortoise refers to the frame color (a brown/tan patterned look), and amber is the lens tint. This is a versatile, classic combination suitable for many lighting conditions.
The lenses are impact and scratch resistant thanks to the triacetate construction. The frame is also highly durable and flexible, making the whole pair robust for outdoor wear.
