HOW WE PROTECT
Our mission is to become an integral part of a complete sun protection plan for everyone who lives, works and plays outdoors.
Brim Shades provide on-demand protection beside your eyes when you need it and they fold flat on top of the brim of your hat when you don't. Brim Shades' patented design incorporates unique features that allow you to utilize them in virtually every outdoor activity. The protection that Brim Shades provide matters, a lot...

Brim Shades improve the performance of our favorite eyewear, reduce eye fatigue and help us see more clearly.
Brim Shades prevent peripheral sunlight and glare from shining through and around the sides of our favorite eyewear. Eliminating that light reduces the impact of spots, smudges and other imperfections on our lenses and improves eyewear features such as polarization. These benefits combine to improve visual clarity and significantly reduce eye fatigue. Whether we are wearing sunglasses, prescription glasses or safety glasses the peripheral shade created by Brim Shades allows our eyewear to function at its best.

Brim Shades are IDEAL shooting blinders
Brim Shades have been tested extensively in the shooting sports arena. Our Pro XL Series Brim Shades are the direct result of working closely with shooting instructors and tournament winners.
Benefits include:
-Friction hinges that hold shades securely where you need them and will not shift or flutter...even on the windiest days.
-Ability to raise or lower shades instantly. Stop sliding flimsy plastic or foam blinders on and off of your shooting glasses.
-Fog Free Lenses. You can raise Brim Shades slightly, or all the way, to allow ample air flow around lenses.
-A design that does not interfere with hearing protection or with resting shooting glasses on your brim
-Ability to slide Brim Shades forward and backward on your brim to address ever changing angles of the sun

Brim Shades reduce the risk of sun damage to our eyes and vision.
Prolonged or repeated exposure to sunlight and glare wreaks havoc on our eyes increasing the occurrences of cataracts, macular degeneration and other serious eye diseases.
Brim Shades provide ACTUAL shade and thus create a formidable barrier between our eyes and those damaging rays.

Brim Shades reduce and prevent the factors that lead to premature aging around our eyes
It's no secret that sun damage and squinting combine to contribute to crows feet and other signs of premature aging around the eyes. Even while wearing our best pair of sunglasses, we squint when sunlight and glare shine through and around our lenses.
Brim Shades are specifically designed to shield the areas beside our eyes without obstructing our vision. The result is a dramatic reduction in the amount of sunlight and glare that reaches our eyes which in turn means a reduction in that squinting and skin damage.

Brim Shades reduce the risk of skin cancer and other skin disorders in the sensitive areas around our eyes.
The thin skin around our eyes contains less melanin which is part of the body's natural sunscreen system. The low levels of melanin around the eyes is an even bigger concern in kids because melanin doesn't fully develop until around age 10.
Brim Shades provide 100% UV protection for all the sensitive areas around our eyes making them an integral part of a complete sun protection plan as you pursue your favorite outdoor activities!
