Ombraz Viale Side Shields

Ombraz Viale Side Shields

A purpose-built accessory that transforms the Ombraz Viale into a full glacial and on-the-water sunglass with complete peripheral light blocking and glare reduction. The removable, malleable side shields add serious alpine and high-sun capability to a frame that already has integrated mini visors for a comprehensive peripheral protection solution.

Why We Carry It
It's the accessory we recommend for Viale owners heading into the most demanding high-exposure environments where the integrated mini visors aren't quite enough and full peripheral coverage is needed.

Highlights

• Peripheral light blocking and glare reduction — Shields the sides of the frame from light entering at angles that standard lenses leave unprotected. 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 thoughtful engineering detail that separates these from solid side shield alternatives that trap heat and fog in active use.
• Removable for versatile everyday use — Attach them for high-exposure objectives and remove them for everyday trail and lifestyle wear without carrying a separate frame. The Viale becomes a full glacial sunglass when the conditions demand it.
• 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 Viale owners tackling glaciers, snowfields, open water, and high-exposure alpine terrain who want complete peripheral light protection beyond what the integrated mini visors provide. A practical accessory that extends the Viale's capability into the most demanding high-sun environments.
