Zeal Optics Minturn Sunglasses

Long a hub for Rockies rail traffic, Minturn is nestled between the grandeur of Vail and Beaver Creek but has held its rugged mountain charm and is the trailhead for many a journey. Drawing on this town’s heritage, Zeal’s Minturn goes big on style and even bigger on function-driven elements. 

Featuring an oversized Z-Lite frame, Minturn’s look is sure to turn heads while its ultra-lightweight frame won’t weigh you down as you round the next switchback. Its plant-based frames are incredibly durable and combined with our crystal-clear plant-based Ellume Polarized lenses, its footprint is just as light. 

Minturn also features our two-stage Camloc hinge to keep the temples from scratching your lenses. Make the most of your next adventure and maximize your views with unrivaled color, clarity and contrast.

FEATURES

Polarized
We build sunglasses using the most premium polarized film in the world. Sourced in Japan and layered in an injected lens stack this is truly the best lens available today. Polarization plays a huge role in keeping your eyes comfortable by reducing glare reflected off objects around you. Your eyes are more free to work the way they're supposed to and you'll be kicking back in comfort come the end of the day.

Proflex
This unique material is strategically injected into each frame to provide a soft and comfortable hold. With incredible performance characteristics this rubber can withstand extreme cold and hot temperatures ensuring that your sunglasses stay in place no matter what.

Rx Ready
Our custom Digital Rx Lab ensures that you are getting the highest quality Rx lenses available. Our zero waste facility is an integral part of our GROUNDED mission that defines us as a leader within the optical industry. We believe you shouldn't have to sacrifice quality to be environmentally responsible and our custom lab is one innovative step in showing the industry just how that can be done.

Camloc Hinge
Camloc is our custom two-stage hinge that helps prevent lens scratching by locking your temples in place whether they are open or closed. This keeps them from rubbing against the lenses when you’re not wearing them.

Impact Resistant
Ellume Polarized exceeds ANSI standards for excellent impact resistance ensuring that no matter your adventure, you’re protected

Ellume Bio-Plastic Lens
Ellume Polarized is the world's first lens made using a plant-based bonding agent, thus replacing the petroleum-based bonder. With no compromise in the optical clarity or impact resistance, this lens is proof that environmental initiatives are not a deterrent to an incredible optical experience. Ellume lenses don't skimp on protection or prevention; you can rest assured that you will still be protected from UVA, B, and C as well as HEV light.

Z-Resin Bio-Plastic Frame
All of our frames are made from Z-Resin our proprietary plant-based material from Switzerland. Instead of crude oil our frames are made from the natural oils in the castor bean. In fact it's a perfect resource because it's an efficient fast-growing perennial that withstands drought and thrives on marginal lands.

Z-Lite Thin Injection
Z-Lite is our Z-Resin frame material that uses a thin injection process to allow for an ultra-lightweight sunglass frame for complete versatility no matter the activity.

Asian Fit Compatible
Our Asian Fit Sunglass Collection was tested and selected for those with high cheekbones, wider faces and lower nose bridges. This collection features a mix of flatter, wider frames, adjustable nose pads, longer temples and light-weight frames to ensure a perfect fit.
