Ombraz Armless Sunglasses
Jensen, co-founder of Ombraz, stumbled upon the innovative idea for their sunglasses during a camel safari in India when his sunglasses broke. Improvising with twine to secure them, he discovered that this makeshift solution was not only comfortable but also practical, allowing the sunglasses to stay securely in place without slipping. This simple yet effective design inspired the creation of Ombraz, which, after years of development, has become one of the most practical sunglasses brands in the industry.
Partnering with his college friend Nikolai, who had a strong e-commerce background, Jensen helped launch Ombraz from a barn loft in Bellevue, WA. After a successful Indiegogo campaign in 2018, raising $165,000 from 1,400 backers worldwide, the brand quickly gained recognition, winning Backpacker Magazine's 2019 Gear Editors' Choice Award.
Ombraz's commitment to quality and sustainability is evident in their hands-on approach to production and their pledge to plant 20 mangrove trees for every pair sold, making them the most carbon-negative product on the market.
Ombraz reinvented the sunglass. Instead of rigid temple arms, every pair replaces the sidearms with a custom-woven adjustable cord that wraps around the back of your head - so there is nothing to snap, nothing to pinch, and nothing digging in under a helmet or beanie. The idea was born when co-founder Jensen Brehm broke his sunglasses on a camel safari in India, tied a piece of twine to the hinges, and realised the improvised pair stayed secure, comfortable and packable in a way normal shades never could. Launched via a crowdfunding campaign in 2018, Ombraz has since earned dozens of "Best Of" gear awards from the outdoor press.
What makes them perform: lightweight, near-indestructible aerospace-grade TR-90 nylon frames paired with world-class Carl Zeiss optics (polarized and non-polarized), coated to resist scratches, smudges and water. They pack flat into any pocket, distribute their weight evenly around your head, and stay put whether you are climbing, paddling, cycling or on a long trail day. As of 2024 Ombraz produces entirely in a solar-powered, family-owned workshop in northern Italy, and plants 20 mangrove trees for every pair sold as part of a genuinely carbon-negative supply chain.
