Elite Sunglasses
Elite Sunglasses was created with one goal in mind: to build sunglasses made specifically for rodeo athletes and the western lifestyle. Based in Cody, Wyoming — the Rodeo Capital of the World — the brand was founded in 2023 by rodeo athlete Bridger Brengle. Her mission is simple: create exceptional products while sharing her passion for rodeo and her faith.
The Story
Bridger Brengle grew up in the arena. A lifelong rodeo competitor from Cody, Wyoming, she has been competing since the age of seven in barrel racing, breakaway roping, and goat tying. In 2023, she recognized a gap in the western market: there were few sunglasses designed specifically for rodeo athletes that were both high-quality and affordable.
After extensive research, testing, and real-world use in the arena, Elite Sunglasses was born. Bridger credits every opportunity, success, and idea behind the brand to the Lord and strives to build a company that reflects her values and passion for the western way of life.
The Product
Elite Sunglasses are crafted for performance in the western lifestyle — lightweight, durable, secure, and designed to stay put when it matters most. Growing up in rodeo, Bridger understood how quickly costs add up in the horse and rodeo world. Her goal was to create sunglasses that deliver premium quality at a price point accessible to the western community.
The brand continues to evolve with ongoing product development, new designs, and future innovations always in the works.
