Viale

Lightweight Sunglasses

The Viale lightweight sunglasses from Ombraz, based in Washington, USA, are a true innovation gaining popularity in the hiking world for their strapless, compact, and easy-to-store design.

They were selected as Editors’ Choice Awards 2019 by Backpacker.

When to Use

Perfect for any outdoor activity, the Ombraz Viale sunglasses fit seamlessly with any headgear, from wool hats to helmets or jacket hoods. With no rigid contact points, they are ideal for extended wear. Plus, you can easily hang them around your neck when not in use.

The high-end Zeiss optics ensure minimal distortion for clear and sharp vision, whether hiking through dense forests or crossing a snowfield at 3000 meters altitude.

Design

The Viale sunglasses from Ombraz feature a nylon cord and two rear sliding grips that securely hold them in place on your head. Without hinges or arms that can break, they’re compact and easy to store in any corner of your backpack without the need for a rigid case.

You also have the option to add side shields to eliminate peripheral glare, ideal for water and snow sports (sold separately here).

Made of Acetate Frame and Zeiss Lenses

The Viale sunglasses from Ombraz feature Zeiss polarized lenses, scratch-resistant, and providing 100% UVA/UVB protection. These lenses not only protect your eyes but also enhance visibility in varied conditions like sea, rivers, snow, and ice by reducing glare and increasing depth perception.

The handcrafted cellulose acetate frame ensures durability, ideal for multi-week expeditions.
