Kukuna® Floating Sunglasses Leash
High-Vis Eyewear Security: Never Lose Your Shades to the Deep Again.
Whether you’re catching a swell, navigating a river, or deep-sea fishing, the Kukuna® Floating Sunglasses Leash is your ultimate insurance policy on the water. Engineered with high-buoyancy materials and a high-visibility fluorescent finish, this leash ensures that even if your glasses take a tumble, they stay on the surface and remain easy to spot in choppy conditions.
The 'Hi-Vis' Advantage
This Kukuna leash uses a Fluorescent Orange design specifically calibrated for water environments. This allows you to spot your gear instantly against blue water, white foam, or low-light river conditions, saving you from a costly loss.
Pro-Tip: Secure Your Gear Before the Wipeout
For high-impact sports like surfing or white-water kayaking, slide the adjustable toggle toward the back of your head once the leash is attached. This "locks" the glasses to your face, significantly reducing the chance of them coming off in the first place, while the floating core provides back-up security just in case.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this leash fit all Kukuna models?
A: Yes. The universal tension-grip connectors are designed to slide securely over the temple tips of our entire range, from the Lifestyle models like the Kona to our Performance frames like the Apex and Ghost.
Q: Is it comfortable for all-day wear?
A: Absolutely. The material is lightweight and smooth against the skin. It’s designed to hang comfortably around your neck when not in use and remains unobtrusive even during high-intensity paddling.
Q: How much weight can the leash actually float?
A: The leash is designed to keep any standard pair of Kukuna sunglasses afloat. However, we do not recommend attaching heavy metal accessories to the leash, as this may exceed its buoyancy limit.
Q: Will the salt water damage the orange colour?
A: No. Like our sunglasses, the leash is built for repeated water exposure. The high-vis pigments are UV-stabilised to resist fading, and the materials are salt-water resistant to prevent the leash from becoming stiff or brittle over time.
Q: How do I clean the leash after a day in the ocean?
A: Simply rinse the leash with fresh water at the end of the day along with your sunglasses. This removes salt crystals and sand, keeping the material soft and the orange colour vibrant for your next mission.
Q: Which Kukuna floating strap should I choose?
A: Choose the Hi-Vis Orange Leash if you want maximum visibility. It is the best choice for choppy waves or deep-water sports where "spotting" your gear is the priority. Choose the Neoprene Black Strap if you want maximum comfort and a sleek look. It is ideal for active water sports like surfing and swimming where a soft, low-profile fit against the head is essential.
