We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on August 6, 2012.

Update Number Five!

Update #5 · Aug 3, 2012 · 19 comments

Hi Everybody! 


We’re getting close to the end of the campaign, so we wanted to start talking about some of the things that we are going to be doing moving forward. It’s sort of sad that the campaign is going to be over—I think we might suffer from a little bit of “Kickstarter withdrawal”. But, the good news is that we will still be able to keep you updated as we make progress towards bringing the Sunskis back for everyone! 


And again, we just want to take this opportunity to say how totally blown away we are by everyone’s support. We are beyond happy that you all have helped this project succeed and we will be showing our gratitude by creating some absolutely amazing shades that we’ll all be proud to wear. 

Once the campaign is over we will be sending a survey out to everyone asking for your shipping address and sunglasses color preferences. If you ordered a t-shirt, you’ll also be able to select the style and size that you would like. We'll also be including detailed photos of every one of the four Sunski colors so you can be sure you get exactly what you want.


One thing we are really excited for is the launch party in San Francisco! Remember the guitarist at the end of the Sunski video? (Our attempt at being funny!) We've booked his reggae band, Jahlectrik, to perform at the party! Check out the bottom of this post for a clip of their music. If you have any friends in the San Francisco area who would like to come, please send them on to our Kickstarter page so they can sign up for an invite!


Above all, we really want to thank everybody for helping us have such a spectacular campaign, and we are so excited to share the Sunskis with such an awesome group of people. Thank you!

-Michael & Tom

      My 16 YO is off on school Ski camp tomorrow and I got out my old ski gear to see if there was anything he could use. There were my 1980s gloves looking very fashionable again - blue with flouro pink and yellow - Sunski brand!! Everything old is new again! Looking forward to getting him into Sunski glasses!

      The only thing I don't like of the sunskis is that I will need to wait for next summer to wear them. They are so awesome!!!
