Company Description: We are thrill seekers and sun soakers. Beach loungers and boat launchers. We wake up early to catch the sunrise and stay out late to toast the moon. We believe in saltwater communion and the sacred bond between human and nature. Our love for the water leaves a contagious joy in our wake.
Founded by a husband-and-wife team out of Charleston, S.C., Rheos Nautical Eyewear designs floating sunglasses using featherlight frame material and signature Nylon Optic lenses. Since selling out the first two floating styles in 2016, Rheos has evolved into a collection of high-performance and stylish eyewear built for the water. Every detail of their selection of shades was designed for water activities, addressing the needs of fishermen, boaters, beachgoers and whatever-you-do-outsiders. Rheos is available for purchase in more than 400 retailers across the country including Dillard’s and Half Moon Outfitters, as well as online at www.rheosgear.com.
We are a committed 1% For The Planet member and work closely with our local partners Charleston Waterkeeper, Charleston Surfrider, and the South Carolina Aquarium’s Sea Turtle Hospital. We work hard to grow the business, so we can grow personally and make a meaningful impact in the Charleston community and outdoor industry.
