About Duskwing
The Zeal Duskwing marks a new dawn in style and function. This small-fit shape blends a mix of wayfarer inspiration with butterfly lift. Add in a slight wrap, both horizontally and vertically, and this stylish frame blocks ambient light from your eyes, but not the inspired looks of those around you. Duskwing’s frame is crafted with plant-based Z-Resin and its premium Ellume Polarized lenses are also made from the castor plant, keeping it light on the landscapes they highlight in amazing color, clarity and contrast. Duskwing also features our proprietary ProFlex rubber in the temples and bridge to keep them in place all day long, as well as recycled aluminum branding on the temples to further reduce their footprint.
