It’s April 13, 2017, my alarm breaks the silence at 0700 sharp. I roll out of bed and sit upright, realizing the floor beneath my feet isn’t that of my home. The windows are in the wrong location, the ceiling too high, nothing feels right. Moments pass as I gather my thoughts and recall exactly […]

When talking about Gatorz Eyewear, it’s kind of the best of both worlds. Durability and performance are all I ask for when I’m looking at shades, and Gatorz definitely packs that 1-2 combo. I hate not having a good pair of shades on and honestly, I never knew Gatorz would soon become a part of […]
