Ellume Polarized
Reflected light and UV exposure can cause glare, eye fatigue and sensitivity, all of which disrupt your experience outdoors. Ellume Polarized eliminates 99.9% of glare and blocks 100% of harmful UVA/B rays, protecting against the risk of long-term eye damage.
Z-Lite Thin Injection
Z-lite combines our Z-Resin material, which includes a minimum of 45% bio-resin, with a thin injection process, creating an ultra-lightweight, durable frame, weighing in at less than an ounce including the lenses, for performance and style.
Durability
The wilderness can be a dangerous place for sunglasses, but we've got you covered. From the frame to the lens, all Zeal Optics sunglasses are designed to stand up to everyday life as well as the world’s harshest conditions and we've got the warranty to back this up.
ProFlex Rubber
This unique, porous rubber material is strategically injected into the temples and nose pads of the frame to provide a soft and comfortable hold that gets tackier as things warm up, keeping your glasses in place on the most technical of trails.
Polarized Sunglasses For Hiking
"I never go hiking or backpacking without my Zeal Optics sunglasses. They're an essential piece on my packing list whether it's for a morning of hiking on our local trails or an extended backpack through the wilderness. I wear the Essentials with the copper lens because they're a durable, classic design, and the lens makes the world around me pop with contrast and color.The Ellume Polarized lens is the differential advantage these sunglasses have over all others. The clarity and contrast enhances my view of the world while protecting my eyes from the sun's UV rays." - Chris Morgan, Zeal Optics Ambassador
"These are top notch sunglasses. The lenses are high quality and produce crisp, clear images. What really sets them apart though is the frame. They are incredibly lightweight yet also provide a secure fit. I've worn them climbing, hiking, and golfing and never felt them slip. The lightweight and comfortable frames allow you to wear them for hours on end without any sort of discomfort."
