AVANTUR

3D-Printed French Sunglasses

Based near the Gulf of Morbihan and the Atlantic Ocean, we wanted to develop a first sport eyewear model tailored to the needs of skippers at sea, especially in offshore racing. This first model was tested around the world, single-handed, aboard an Ultim (the world’s largest trimaran class) by skipper Eric Péron during the winter of 2023/2024, as part of the first edition of the Arkéa Ultim Challenge Brest.

Designed with a futuristic look, the AVANTUR model is a wraparound “mask” frame offering optimal protection and vision. Its ventilated category 3 lenses help reduce fogging during intense activity.

As a signature detail, the temples are engraved with our Friendly Frenchy boat — a nod to the brand’s very first shell-based eyewear collections.
