Shenandoah Sunglasses
Stop squinting. Polarized lenses that cut glare on water, road and snow.
Longer days. Better shades. Same real life.
Polarized sunglasses made for real life on the East Coast — salt air, boat days, city streets and everything in between. Backed for life.
Know before you buy
Everything that matters about the Shenandoah Sunglasses
The short version: polarized lenses, full UV protection, a frame built to be worn every day, and a warranty that means you never have to baby them.
Lens technology
Every Nectar lens is polarized: a filter inside the lens blocks the horizontal glare that bounces off water, sand, snow and pavement, so colors read truer and your eyes stop squinting. All lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB.
Frame, fit and face shape
Measurements are lens width, bridge and temple length in millimeters. If you are between sizes, go by the lens width: it changes how the frame sits on your face more than anything else.
Lifetime warranty
Keep it carefree with our lifetime warranty. Whether your shades fall victim to a pup's playtime or go on an unapproved solo adventure, we've got you covered for life.
Shipping and returns
Free US shipping on orders over $65. Not the right pair? Send them back within 30 days.
Care and cleaning
Rinse salt and sand off with fresh water before wiping. Use the cloth in the case, not your shirt. Keep them off a hot dashboard: heat is what warps frames.

Cheap lenses, the film showed tiny spider cracks all over after being left in cold temperatures. Tried to get a warranty replacement, but the company would not honor the lifetime warranty.
Broken on day 1 and still want to charge me to replace. Clearly not very durable frames and unhappy with customer service. They are great looking sunglasses and love supporting local business, but as of right now I will not be a return customer.
Great!
Frames are a little beefier but still light weight!
Like the shades but had a defect on the back rear of sunglasses
I live at the beach and work on or around the water, so sunglasses are a normal part of my daily wear. I have had at one time or another many different brands of sunglasses including Costas, Smiths, Oakleys and Ray Bans. I am pretty rough on glasses since I wear them pretty much 12 hours a day 7 days a week and was attracted to Nectar by the warranty with the plan of wearing them for work and saving my high dollar Costas for my playtime on the water. Since receiving my Nectars my Costas have been collecting dust. I genuinely find the Nectar optics better and the fit and comfort better. On top of that I purchased 3 pairs of polarized nectars during the 4/20 sale for less than half of what my one pair of Costas cost. Myself being from and living on the southern NC beaches I like being able to support a neighbor Carolina company. I’m a customer for life and trying to convert everyone I know and meet into Nectar customers.
Fast shipping. I am really impressed with the quality of of the build and materials. Great weight and texture. They look great and perform well. I highly recommend these frames. Equally on par quality-wise with my Oakley Holbrooks.
I absolutely love these shades!
I have purchased Nector sunglasses before. The quality and fit are great. Beats my Ray-Bans that are more than double the price. Great product.
So far the glasses are great just like the other ones I’ve purchased from Nectar
Love these shades!
I like em
Great quality glasses for a reasonable price. So far I've enjoyed them.
Nectar seriously has the best sunglasses at affordable prices on the planet! I like that they are a small company out of South Carolina and that they are top notch from purchasing through delivery— will continue ordering!
I broke my sunglasses and they replaced it just like that. Excellent customer service and a great product.
Took them to the beach, haven’t gotten scratched, and fit great on my face. If you are looking for something with a wider frame than the chucktown, this is it
Great fit and they feel like they are made well! Really love them!:)
Nice and light, clean and great warranty
My husband is obsessed with these! Already ready to buy more! Such a great fit and perfectly polarized!
Great!
Really nice quality but had to return because they were a bit too large for my face. The Folly fits great so I will probably go back to those.
Great customer service helping me with my return and purchase!
Love them. Shape and size is perfect for my face. Simple and stylish!
Love the Shenandoah shades super nice and beautiful
I lost my sunglasses from Nectar, so I ordered a new pair. The day they arrived, I found my old pair, so my husband received a great pair of sunglasses, too.
Most comfortable glasses i have!
Great service!
These glasses are wonderful! Fit it great! Love the style!
Top notch shades. They are about identical to my O Holbrooks at about the same price with the mil discount...but way better warranty. Very minimal distortion right around the edges.
The sunglasses are great and the company's customer service is outstanding.
My new driving glasses that I am sure will be as good as the first 7 year pair.
