Ombraz Refugio Side Shields

Ombraz Refugio Side Shields

A purpose-built accessory that extends the Refugio's already serious peripheral coverage into full glacial and on-the-water territory. The removable, malleable side shields add complete peripheral light blocking and glare reduction to a frame that already delivers full-wrap sport coverage for the most demanding high-exposure environments.

Why We Carry It
It's the accessory we recommend for Refugio owners pushing into glacier travel, open water, and high-altitude snowfields where even the Refugio's full-wrap coverage benefits from additional peripheral sealing.

Highlights

• Peripheral light blocking and glare reduction — Shields the sides of the frame from light entering at angles that even a full-wrap lens leaves unprotected in extreme high-sun environments. A meaningful upgrade for glacier travel, open water, and high-altitude snowfields where peripheral UV exposure causes eye fatigue and long-term damage over extended days outside.
• Patent-pending louvered ventilation design — The louvers allow airflow through the side shields to reduce fogging and heat buildup without compromising peripheral light blocking. A critical detail for the high-output athletes and guides the Refugio is designed for where heat and moisture management matter as much as light protection.
• Removable for versatile use — Attach them for high-exposure objectives and remove them for everyday trail running, cycling, and active use where the Refugio's standard full-wrap coverage is sufficient.
• Malleable construction — Adjustable to fit your face and frame precisely for a secure, custom fit without gaps that let light in from the sides.
• 5 mangrove trees planted per accessory sold — Ombraz extends their carbon-negative commitment to accessories with five trees planted in Madagascar for every pair of side shields sold.

Best for

Ombraz Refugio owners tackling glaciers, snowfields, open water, and extreme high-exposure terrain who want complete peripheral light sealing beyond what the full-wrap frame already provides. A practical accessory for endurance athletes and mountain professionals who operate in the most demanding high-sun environments.
