Leggero

Lightweight Leggero sunglasses from Ombraz, based in Washington, USA, are a true innovation and have become very popular in the hiking world thanks to their temple-less, compact, easy-to-pack design.

They were selected as a Backpacker Editors’ Choice Award 2019.

When to use it

No matter what activity you’re doing, Ombraz Leggero sunglasses fit perfectly with anything you wear on your head—whether it’s a beanie, a helmet, or a jacket hood. With no rigid contact points, they’re ideal for long wear. You can also easily hang them around your neck when you don’t need them.

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

Design

Ombraz Leggero sunglasses feature a nylon cord and two sliding rear grips that keep them secure on your head. With no temples or hinges to break, they’re very compact and easy to stash in any corner of your pack without a hard case and without the 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 with an Acetate Frame and Zeiss Lenses

Ombraz Leggero sunglasses feature polarized, scratch-resistant Zeiss lenses and provide 100% UVA/UVB protection. These lenses not only protect your eyes, they also improve visibility in varying conditions such as the sea, rivers, snow, and ice by reducing reflections and increasing depth perception.
