A positive attitude can go a long way, both in life and way out there. Every setback provides opportunity if you look for it. In fact, SLYK was conceived through setback. And look at them now.

No, really. Look at them. Their shades are pretty slick, right? But these well-built wooden sunglasses aren’t just beautiful, they’re also inspirational. On the inside of every pair is an uplifting message. It might not seem like much, but just wait until you take them off to wipe the sweat from your brow during the most brutal stretch of the trail and get hit with some words of encouragement. It might just be exactly what you need to keep going. It’s definitely helped us press on a time or two.

At some point, we should probably mention all the good they do with their good fortune, too. And now seems like as good a time as any. Not only do they contribute a portion of their earnings to mental health organizations, but they also partner with One Tree Planted to plant a tree for every SLYK product sold. Talk about an uplifting message.
