Protective & practical accessories

If you’re headed to the sunny ski slopes this winter, it’s best to protect your eyes with consciously-made, high-grade eyewear.

Sourced in Patagonia, Kona frames are made with ECONYL® regenerated nylon. The glasses can also be sent back after use to be recycled into new eyewear, and you’ll receive a 25% discount off your next purchase.
