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

When to Use

As for the lenses, they feature high-end Zeiss optics with minimal distortion, ensuring clear and sharp vision at all times, whether you’re walking through a dense forest or crossing a snowfield at 3000 meters.

Design

The Viale sunglasses by Ombraz feature a nylon cord and two sliding rear grips that keep them secure on your head. Without temples or hinges that can break, they are very compact and easy to store in any corner of your backpack without needing a rigid case and without risk of damage.

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
