Refugio

Refugio Ultralight Sunglasses

The Refugio sunglasses from Ombraz, designed in Washington, USA, are ideal for those seeking more coverage and comfort without compromising weight or strength.

Like the rest of the Ombraz range, the Refugio eliminate traditional arms and opt for a wraparound and robust design, with a higher and wider frame offering great side protection against sun, wind, and glare, ideal for long routes in mountains, snow, or desert.

When to use them

The Refugio stand out for their versatility. You can use them on hikes, alpine routes, cycling, or kayaking. Thanks to the arm-free design, they do not interfere with hats, helmets, or hoods, and you can comfortably hang them around your neck when not needed.

Their Zeiss polarized lenses offer clear vision in any environment, from dense forests to snow or water crossings. Additionally, their wraparound design offers greater protection against peripheral light.

Design

The Refugio frame has a higher profile, designed for those seeking more protection and a wider fit. The recycled nylon cord and sliding grips offer a comfortable and firm hold, even in motion.

Without arms or hinges, the sunglasses are very compact and durable. You don’t need a hard case to store them without fear of breaking. You can also add side shields (sold separately here) for more protection in snow or water.

Made with Acetate Frame and Zeiss Lenses

They feature Zeiss polarized lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection, scratch-resistant and with minimal distortion. They improve depth perception and reduce glare in extreme conditions.

The frame, handmade in cellulose acetate, stands out for its strength and durability, ideal for intensive use over weeks.
