What is Your Saltwater Promise?

🧂 Understanding the Saltwater Promise

Our lenses are built for life on the water—literally.

Every pair of Rheos shades comes with our Saltwater Promise, a 1-year lens warranty designed to protect against manufacturing defects related to saltwater, humidity, and coastal wear.

💪 What Makes Our Lenses Saltwater-Ready?

Our HydroClear lenses are made from a lightweight, impact-resistant material that’s:

• Rated for 120 hours of continuous saltwater and humidity exposure

• Highly resistant to scratching and chemical erosion

• Non-polarizing on screens (so you can still use your phone or fishfinder!)

While our lenses are tough, they’re not indestructible. Salt, sand, and heat can take their toll over time—especially without proper care.

💧How to Maximize Lens Life

• Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure

• Avoid wiping with shirts, towels, or any rough fabric

• Don’t store in high-heat areas (like a car dashboard or boat console)

🔄 What’s Covered vs. Not Covered

✅ Covered (manufacturer defects):

• Peeling or bubbling lens coating

• Cloudy or patchy appearance with no sign of impact

❌ Not Covered (wear and tear):

• Scratches from drops or abrasive cleaning

• Heat damage from extreme environments

• Loss or theft
