Hides Sunglasses Skins

Finding somewhere to put your sunglasses when you don’t want to wear them is one of life’s little dilemmas, you know the kind, not exactly handling the fate of the world but still enough to cause frustration for you. Put them on your shirt and they are likely to fall off with any sudden movement and are bound to stretch your shirt. Put them on your belt and you will probably crush them when you sit down or again fall off. So where to put them? You don’t want to carry them around, too much effort, not leaving your hands free and you will probably put them down somewhere and forget about them. What you need is a chain...err no wait that will make you look like an elderly librarian. What you really need are the Hides Multifunction Sunglasses Skins, a mouthful but hey they do a lot, so they probably deserve multiple names for their multiple functions.

Hides Skins will stop you from wearing that ugly chain around your neck, after all why would you want to accessorise your expensive polarised sports sunglasses with a fake bit of gold tat? So what makes the Hides different? Why should you wear the hides you may ask? For a start they look much cooler, coming in different colours and patterns, like snake print, camo and khaki. But funky colours are not the be all and end all, no the Hides Multifunction are a 3-in-1 sunglasses accessory. Why 3-in-1? Hides Sunglasses Skins are 3-in-1 as they easily transform from a cord to a case to a cleaner.

Developed from an idea thought up over a beer and a scratched pair of brand new sunglasses, Hides Sunglasses Skins offer security, protection and performance, all in one product. When they are in cord mode, they look small and sleek, so compact you wouldn’t believe they could stretch to fit over the entire sunglasses. But they can and it’s not some kind of weird practising of the occult either, just pure cleverness, the cleverness is all down to a patented tight double roll of lycra microfibre that will wrap around the lenses of the glasses because of its four-way stretch (sorry to ruin it). Take them off the lenses and as if like magic (remember its not!), the Hides will spring straight back into cord size.

Sunglasses looking a bit skanky? Sweat splattered lenses? As the Hides are crafted from super soft lens-safe microfibre material, the third part of the transformation sees the hides morph into a lens cleaning cloth. Once clean and tidy, either stretch back round to form the case or let the Hides spring back down to become a cord, pretty simple!

Here are at OutdoorGB we aren’t the only ones impressed by the Hides Sunglasses Skins, Hides have won the prestigious ISPO Brand New Award as well as awards from Motorboating Magazine, Backpacker Magazine, the North American Hunting Club and the North American Fishing Club.

Hides come in a few variations, all of which are available at OutdoorGB. For day to day use and for less strenuous activities, the Hides Classic Sunglasses Skins are ideal but when it comes to more high endurance activities and extreme sports like climbing, mountainbiking, sailing and backpacking, you should look to the Hides Technoskins.

Technoskins feature Impact Expansion Joint (IEJ) technology, IEJ acts like a shock absorber on a car and ensures additional security should a high impact situation occur. Technoskins also feature detachable straps which allow you to detach the case and the cleaner from the strap to enable the cord to be adjusted to be tight fitting during more mobile and physical activities. The detached case and cleaner section can then be used to protect/cover/clean a watch, be used as a sweat band, to form a fashion coordinated ponytail, protect another pair of glasses or be used as a low stress tie down.
Not just limited to Sunglasses, Hides also cater for bigger applications with GoggleSkins. Developed specifically for divers, skiers, snowboarders and motorcyclists, GoggleSkins offer the same 3-in-1 properties of the other Hides, just on a larger scale.
