Our Story

While SOLX was yet a thing, our story began all the way back in the mid-90s. David and Zach grew up 3 streets and a few curb hops away. The childhood memories run deep between us and our families some 30 years later.

Back then, our priority was simple: survive. The amount of trouble we got ourselves into rivals most other kids out there that grew up in the 90s. Crosswalks were boring. We'd rather chance it by playing frogger with the traffic. Exploring about a 10-mile radius on our Dave Mira BMX bikes was completely normal to us, but absolutely terrifying to our mothers (at least we think so). There was only two things that let us know to get home; a beeper or the faint sound of one or both of our mothers yelling for us to make it home. It was a frightening sound which let us know to high-tail is back, hell or high-water.

As time went on, we graduated high school and began our lives outside of being kids. Zach went on to join the military and David went on to a job selling Cingular Wireless cell phones (yes, that long ago). Though we went separate ways, we always kept in touch, regardless of the distances. Whether that be out west in California, or east to Florida - we found ways to remain friends.

Then out of an all family trip came the idea to start SOLX. We aren't some giant company trying to sell you overpriced sunglasses. Rather we're just some average dudes that love the look of polarized sunglasses and believe we can give you a solid look at better prices than most anyone else.

SOLX is a veteran, first-responder owned company. Military, Police, Border Patrol, Fire & Rescue all have a spot and influence in our lives. SOLX sunglasses are designed for those who seek adventure, crave exploration, and demand superior protection for their eyes. Whether you're navigating the urban jungle, or venturing out into the great outdoors, SOLX sunglasses are your trusted companion, providing clarity, comfort, and style in every journey.
