Let me just say—the Rockwell Pompeii Floatables are the real deal. As someone in his 40s who’s gone through more sunglasses than I care to admit (including a few now resting at the bottom of the lake ), I can honestly say: these are the best I’ve owned. First of all—yes, they FLOAT. And I mean actually float. I’ve tested them on the lake, in the pool, and while paddleboarding, and they stay right on the surface like a boss. No more panic dives or watching a $400 pair vanish into the abyss. It’s honestly a game changer.

I bought these sunglasses because I had purchased from Rockwell in the past and they are incredible people, incredible story, and make damn good products. I was also tired of losing my glasses every time I decided to heroically fall off a houseboat or attempt a cannonball with zero coordination. The bad boys not only float like majestic little buoys, but also manage to stay on my face. I’m convinced these things are made from whatever NASA uses to build re-entry vehicles. I’ve dropped them, possibly insulted their mother, and they’re still pristine. The lenses? Glare is nonexistent. I wore them on a beach so bright it looked like the sun had a personal vendetta against my eyeballs.

I’ve owned premium sunglasses before—Oakley, Maui Jim, Ray-Ban—but nothing compares to the Rockwell Pompeii. These are in a league of their own. The quality is instantly obvious the moment you hold them. They’re hand-crafted in Italy, and you can feel the difference. From the precision fit to the incredibly clear lenses, everything about them screams high-end craftsmanship. They’re lightweight but sturdy, and they float—perfect for anyone active around water. What really sets them apart, though, is the lens clarity and eye protection. I’ve worn $10 gas station sunglasses and cheap knockoffs from who-knows-where, and honestly, they don’t even come close. Those might look okay at first, but they distort your vision and offer minimal UV protection. That’s your vision we’re talking about—it’s worth protecting.
