Helios

Helios was the god of the Sun in Greek mythology. He was thought to ride a golden chariot which brought the Sun across the skies each day from the east to the west. According to Plato in his Symposium, Socrates would greet the sun each morning.

These modified wayfarer style glasses have a broad upper rim that goes out to a rounded point — sometimes called wings. The style of choice from Bob Dylan to Andy Warhol, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Roy Orbison and John Lennon.

The Helios is made from machine-pressed hemp fibre — a hemp composite. Hemp is grown as a crop rather than recovered as waste, which makes it a renewable agricultural input instead of salvage.

Polarized, impact-resistant lenses with full UV400 protection.
