Ombraz are the most comfortable sunglasses in the world. The cord is adjustable, so whether your face is narrow or wide, you can adjust the cord to seemingly 'float' around your head. You won't want to wear your Ombraz tight. Place the frames on your nose and the cord over your ears. Use two hands to adjust the cord using our adjustable knot system. We recommend just taking out the slack and letting them float on your head. Your should be able to pull the frame approx. 1/2" away from your nose before being restricted by the cord. If you're jumping in the water, tighten them down just a bit for extra security.

Our pricing is driven by our relentless pursuit of quality. Every Ombraz component is best-in-class. We want Ombraz to be the last sunglasses you ever need to buy and you'll have a hard time finding a better deal for what you're getting anywhere else.

Ombraz are equipped with polarized Zeiss polyamide lenses. Our lenses are scratch & impact-resistant and are coated in a hydrophobic and oleophobic substance that makes them easy to clean. Quality optics are extremely important in any pair of sunglasses. Cheap lenses quite literally damage your eyes. When you put on a pair of tinted lenses, your pupils dilate. This allows more harmful UV light into your eyes. Our polarized Zeiss lenses block all harmful rays that would otherwise cause permanent damage to your eyes. 

Each frame is hand-carved out of cellulose acetate, a premium, plant-based plastic. Each frame is tumbled in wood chips to soften the edges and give each frame a gorgeous, matte finish. 

Our ultra-comfy cord is custom-woven out of polyester. It is water & abrasion resistant and is extremely lightweight. The cord is adjustable and fits all head shapes and sizes. One of the best parts about Ombraz is you can wear them all day without feeling any head fatigue. 

Instead of hinges and screws, over 120 lock-stitches secure our custom cord to their acetate counterpart. The minor variability in every set of stitches makes each pair of Ombraz truly unique. The stitches are then fuzed together using a combination of heat a pressure. 

Our protective cases are made out of a 3mm neoprene. A built-in microfiber cloth is sewn into the top of the case so you never lose it. 

Ombraz unique design makes them incredibly flat and durable. They ship in a 100% recyclable zero plastic padded mailer. 

Our components are all designed in Seattle and manufactured in the US, South Korea and China. We hand-selected each factory based on quality and environmental standards. Jensen and Nikolai routinely visit each member of the Ombraz supply chain multiple times per year.

Each pair of Ombraz is hand-stitched in Seattle and is shipped to our customers from one of our 5 US-based warehouses. 

Our narrow frame runs a bit small. It's designed for smaller, narrower heads. If sunglasses generally look big on you, the narrow is probably the best size.

If most sunglasses tend to fit you well, you will probably prefer the regular frames. 

We will happily exchange your Ombraz for a different size, as long as they are undamaged, unscratched and within the 30-day 'test' period. Discretion is up to the inspection team over at our HQ.

We have a goal of releasing new styles every year. Our newest style has proven to be tricky, we are expecting it to launch Fall 2019.

If you have any recommendations on styles you'd like to see Ombraz make, we'd love to hear! Send us an email to ombrazsunglasses@gmail.com.

Your Ombraz can fog up if you put them on and the lenses have been outside and are cold. Warm the lenses up in front of your car heater or inside your jacket before putting them on. Ombraz are made with air flow in mind. The sides of the glasses provide ample ventilation, while their adjustability allows one to regulate airflow based on the activity. If you're working hard, you'll need to add a bit more room between your brow and the frames. There are conditions under which fogging up is hard to avoid, but we do everything possible to prevent it. If fogging is really bad, try applying an anti-fog coating to the lenses - available at REI.

Using Ombraz with long hair is totally doable, but it does take a bit more time to get used to. You'll want to start with the Ombraz around your neck, with the cord under your hair. Rest the frame on the bridge of your noise and guide the cord over your ears until your fingers meet the beads. Gently pull the beads apart, using the remaining fingers to keep the rest of your hair out of the way, and voila! After a few times, you won't even think about it!

Only one discount code can be used during a single checkout. Use the best one!

Your cord can be washed by hand, it's water resistant! Soap it up!

Ombraz should be stored in their case, with the cord and beads handing out. 

With one hand, squeeze the case slightly to open it up. Stuff the cleaning cloth in the case. Take the Ombraz in the other hand, make sure the cord is all on the up-side of the frames, and stuff the down side into the case. Tucking the beads in can scratch the lenses. Be mindful of the beads!

Your cord and cord attachment are warrantied for life. If there is ever an issue with your cord or stitch, please send us an email and we start the repair process.

Your polarized Zeiss lenses are protected with the strongest hard-coating on the market. Just like any lens, however, they can scratch if you're not careful. If you ever need to replace your scratched lenses, we are happy to help. Just ask :). 

All manufacturer defects are covered for the first 30 days. If you decide to return your Ombraz within the first 30 days, we will happily issue a full refund for undamaged product. If your Ombraz show signs of wear, we will reach out with next steps. We ask that you cover shipping for any warranty-related issues outside of the 30-day test period. Just send your Ombraz in their neoprene case, in a padded mailer. First-class USPS shipping anywhere in the US is less than $6. 

Make sure the package is labeled with your name and send us the tracking info so we can track any updates!

We will happily swap your Ombraz for a different size as long we're within the 30-day 'test' period, and are in stock. Make sure the Ombraz you are swapping don't show any signs of wear!

Send us an email and we will get the process started!

Try them out for 30 days and if you're not hooked, we'll take them back & pay for the shipping (for domestic orders). Just make sure the Ombraz remain undamaged and unscratched. Damage control discretion is up to the inspection team over at our HQ. Send us an email and we will respond with next steps. 

If you're unhappy with your Ombraz for any reason, we're happy to take them back within 30 days. Send us an email and we will get the process started. 

Unfortunately, we cannot refund damaged Ombraz outside of manufacturing issues. Once your return is received and inspected for damage, we will issue your refund. It can take up to 3 business days to inspect your Ombraz from the time they arrive at our HQ.

Domestic returns are free. For international orders, we ask the customer to pay for shipping.

Our mission is to create a genuine, net positive impact on the world around us. That requires aggressive initiatives. We are proud to make this contribution back to our resource base and would not do business any other way. 

By planting 20 trees, we are sequestering 330x the carbon emitted to produce and deliver every pair. We still have not found a product more environmentally friendly than a pair Ombraz.

Trees create unparalleled environmental and socio-economic impact. Learn more about our Shade Project by visiting the Shade Project section of our website!

We plant our trees through our partners at Eden Reforestation Projects, a non-profit that has established native tree nurseries in Madagascar, Indonesia, Nepal and Haiti. Eden Projects employs local farmers to propagate, plant and protect native trees. When you buy a pair of Ombraz, we donate a portion of the proceeds to Eden Projects, which funds the planting of 20 trees.
