Leggero

Lightweight Sunglasses

The Leggero lightweight sunglasses by Ombraz, based in Washington, USA, are a true innovation and have gained great popularity in the hiking world thanks to their templeless design, which is compact and easy to store.

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

When to Use Them

No matter the activity, the Leggero sunglasses by Ombraz fit perfectly with any headgear, whether it’s a wool beanie, a helmet, or a jacket hood. With no rigid contact points, they are ideal for extended wear. Plus, you can easily hang them around your neck when not in 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 3,000 meters altitude.

Design

The Leggero sunglasses by Ombraz feature a nylon cord with two adjustable sliding grips that keep them securely in place. Since they lack temples and hinges, there’s nothing that can break, making them extremely compact and easy to store in any corner of your backpack without the need for a rigid case or the risk of damage.

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

Made of Acetate Frame and Zeiss Lenses

The Leggero sunglasses by Ombraz come with polarized Zeiss lenses, scratch-resistant and offering 100% UVA/UVB protection. These lenses not only shield your eyes but also enhance visibility in various conditions—whether at sea, on rivers, or in snowy and icy environments—by reducing glare and improving depth perception.

The handcrafted cellulose acetate frame provides high durability, making them ideal for multi-week adventures.
