Watkinsville, GA (February 1, 2024) – Tifosi Optics, a leading sport and lifestyle sunglasses brand, is excited to launch a new single-shield sunglasses style, Sanctum. Exuding a perfect combination of fashion and functionality, Sanctum offers fans of shield-style sunglasses greater versatility across daily activities.  

While Tifosi has offered active-lifestyle shields in the past, Sanctum is the first Tifosi sunglass to feature an oversized rectangular profile. This design complements medium to large facial profiles and extends eye coverage for activities like running, cycling, and pickleball. However, Sanctum’s relaxed frame solves the need to swap between sunglasses for use in casual settings. 

In addition to its versatility, Sanctum boasts a light, flexible and durable frame. Built using Tifosi’s Thrive technology–a plant-based material derived from castor oil–Sanctum is composed of 45% renewable materials.   

“Sanctum is an all-day eyewear companion that complements any season, sport, or outdoor setting,” commented Tifosi Owner, Joe Earley. “We designed Sanctum to have a large, squared-off profile for complete coverage during active pursuits, but were deliberate in choosing a classic frame for everyday use,” Earley continued. 

Even at a sub $35 price point, Sanctum offers the quality construction of best-in-class sport optics, with features like shatterproof polycarbonate lenses, grippy hydrophilic rubber nose pieces, and Tifosi Glide technology, which allows the sunglasses to comfortably slide onto the face and stay in place during movement. 

Available in seven colorways, including the sleek looking Matte Gunmetal frame and Cobalt Blue Mirror lens combination, Sanctum includes a microfiber cleaning bag. Sanctum will launch online at http://www.tifosioptics.com and with retail partners on February 1, 2024.
