Distil Union New MagLock Sunglasses
Distil Union makes some of the most innovative and EDC-ready sunglasses available in all the classic styles you may be looking for to wear as an everyday essential. From construction to features, MagLock brings something unique to the table, starting with its ultra-flexible and durable TPU material in a combo Distil Union calls “Gnarlon.” It’s sustainable, flexible (perfect for large-headed individuals), and comes with a sleek matte non-slip finish.
