99,00€The outdoor one. Our toughest model.
Lacanau is the ocean without the frills: pine trees, wind, sand, whole days spent outside.
Our toughest and most laid-back model: a slightly roomier frame that stays put when things get lively and suits wider faces. Beach, sport, van, road trip: it keeps up without complaining.
The material. Like the others, it starts life as a neoprene wetsuit, collected and transformed in Arcachon.
- Frame: recycled neoprene
- Lenses: Divel bio-nylon, category 3, UV400, polarized or non-polarized
- Tints: bluish grey, green, brown
- Manufacturing: Arcachon Bay, France
Tough, made for active days and built to last. A second life for neoprene, a long life for your sunglasses. Made in France.

Care & use+
Clean the lenses with the cloth provided and a little soapy water. Store your glasses in their cork case when you're not wearing them, and avoid leaving them exposed to strong heat for long periods.
Reshaping the frame: if the frame or temples warp slightly with heat, you can reshape them. Gently warm the affected area, reshape it carefully, then run it under cold water to set the shape. Never force it: handle gently, as an optician would.
Shipping & returns+
Made to order: shipped within 10 to 15 days. Free delivery to a Mondial Relay pickup point in France, free home delivery from €200. Returns and exchanges accepted within 14 days of receipt, provided the product is in new condition (return costs paid by the customer).

Frequently asked questions
What are OCENEO sunglasses made of?
Our frames are made from recycled neoprene wetsuits, ground down and transformed into a unique material. Each pair is handcrafted in Arcachon, France.
Do the lenses offer UV protection?
Yes. All our lenses provide UV400 protection (category 3), filtering 100% of UVA and UVB rays. Polarised bionylon lenses by Divel Italia are available to reduce glare.
Are the sunglasses made in France?
Yes. Each pair is hand-assembled and finished in our workshop near Arcachon, from locally collected recycled neoprene.
How long will it take to receive my order?
As our sunglasses are made to order, allow 10 to 15 days of crafting time before shipping. In France, delivery to a Mondial Relay pickup point is free, and home delivery is free from €200.
How do I care for my recycled neoprene sunglasses?
Clean the lenses with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water. Avoid abrasive products and prolonged exposure to high heat, and store your sunglasses in their case to protect the frame.
Can I return or exchange my sunglasses?
Yes. You have 14 days after delivery to return or exchange your pair. Return shipping costs are at your expense.
Are recycled neoprene sunglasses sturdy?
We prefer to be transparent: recycled neoprene is an ecological material, by nature slightly less rigid than conventional injected plastic. For everyday use (city, beach, driving, travel) they are perfectly reliable. Simply avoid extreme stress: impact sports, strong twisting or prolonged heat. We are also working on a reinforced version with threaded rods to go even further.
What happens to my sunglasses at end of life?
They do not end up in the bin: send them back to us and they re-enter our production process to become material again, then new sunglasses. Just contact us to arrange the return.
Where does the material of my sunglasses come from?
Every frame is born from a wetsuit that has already lived. Since 2022, more than 16,000 neoprene wetsuits have been collected and given a second life through our process: ground down, turned into sheets, then shaped by hand in our Arcachon workshop. By choosing OCENEO, you extend that cycle.

A great French company with quality craftsmanship, that puts heart into everything it makes. Quality pairs, strengthened by collaborations with major surf brands like Quiksilver. I can only recommend them!

After seeing a report on OCENEO, I was tempted: I ordered two pairs of glasses, as advertised on their website. I recommend them.
