Whether you're surfing, skating, or just posted up, Crap delivers the look without the markup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many Crap Eyewear styles are available with polarized lenses. Polarized options reduce glare from water, roads, and snow, making them ideal for surfing, driving, and outdoor sports. Check individual product pages for lens options — most models offer both polarized and standard tinted lenses.

Bioacetate is a plant-based alternative to traditional petroleum-based acetate. Crap Eyewear uses bioacetate for all their frames because it's derived from renewable wood pulp and cotton fibers, making it biodegradable. It has the same durability, flexibility, and premium feel as conventional acetate but with a significantly lower environmental footprint.

Crap Eyewear frames are measured in millimeters across five key dimensions: frame width, frame height, lens width, nose bridge width, and temple length. Frame width is the most important for fit — narrow faces suit frames under 138mm, medium faces 138-144mm, and wide faces 145mm+. Check the size chart on each product page for exact measurements.

Yes. Every pair includes a protective hard case and a microfiber cleaning cloth. The cases are designed to fit in jacket pockets and bags without adding bulk.

All Crap Eyewear lenses provide 100% UV400 protection, blocking both UVA and UVB rays. This meets the highest standard for UV protection in eyewear, regardless of whether you choose polarized or standard lenses.

Crap Eyewear was founded in Venice Beach, California. They design all frames in-house and focus on surf and skate culture aesthetics with an emphasis on sustainability through bioacetate materials and carbon-neutral shipping.
