GATORZ was founded in 1989 in San Diego, California with the intent to build tough, hand crafted, American made eyewear from billet aluminum. The goal was to provide the most innovative and durable eye protection for those who push the limits every day. As an enthusiast based veteran and employee owned business, our mission is to craft purpose built, American made, gear that inspires our community to go beyond the standard and live a life with purpose. Every piece of GATORZ eyewear is meticulously designed, engineered and hand crafted to perform its best and to integrate seamlessly for whatever mission you choose.
