SHADES OF SUMMER - Find Your Zeal
To create something truly meaningful, we each must become proficient explorers - prodding and pulling at the mystery until the thing that we had set out to find unravels before our very eyes. Mishaps and misadventure are simply a sign leading us ever closer on our quest to discover, and the only currency called for is time.

Zeal Optics Ellume Challenge
Zeal set out to put our ellume lenses to the test in our backyard of Boulder, CO. A quick stop on Pearl Street Mall and Chautauqua Park proved to be the perfect sun-drenched testing grounds to demonstrate the color-enhancing clarity and craftsmanship in our plant-based, polarized lenses. Don't take our word for it; see for yourself.

Wife gives her thumbs up

Bought these for my wife who is really picky about sunglasses. What she loves: lightweight, take abuse very well (she lost the case); blocks sunlight at high altitude; they are a little big for her face, but otherwise she loves them.

I've had these for a couple years now and really like them. First, the matte wood grain color is much more subdued and normal looking in real life than in the pictures, which is a good thing so I ended up getting that color. They are lighter than most similar sunglasses I've had, and they have rubber placed by your ears and on the nose to hold them in place when you get rowdy. Mine are pretty scratched up now, but they held up to a LOT of abuse and I am real bad at taking care of sunglasses. Overall I'd say the lenses were equally or maybe even more durable than some others.

I have been wearing Smith for years and have loved them but it was time for me to try something different. I picked these up before heading to Mexico. They were great at the beach, on the boat, and wandering through the jungle exploring Mayan Ruins. These fit my slightly large head really well. They have good coverage and the lenses are high quality. They are every bit as good as the Smiths that I have worn. Pick up a pair! You won't be disappointing.

Yet another product I was introduced to at a Backpacker Magazines Get Out More Tour stop. The idea of a biodegradable sunglass frame was too intriguing to pass up. The aesthetic is tremendously stylish, and is matched by its comfortable feel. My left ear has been surgically reconstructed which for years restricted me to wire framed sunglasses, which often times lack security and move about on ones face. Not only does the Zeal Brewer stay in place but it does so comfortably. If sustainable product offerings from US based companies are something that intrigues you then give Zeal Optics of Boulder Colorado a try!

I have worn the same sunglasses for years (Smith Gibsons) , and am so glad I finally decided to swap it up. The Gibsons were great but these Brewers are a step up for me. The fit on these is perfect. They stay on during activities and I never worry about them flying off my head. Activity #1 Fishing These bad Larrys are great on the river. I have the copper polarized lens that cuts glare and works great in a variety of lighting. They aren't the best for when its darker out, but where we get more bright sunny days here in Utah, that is preferred. They are scratch resistant and stay on my face, I never worry about them dropping into the water even when I'm looking straight down. Activity #2 Skiing My favorite part of these glasses is that they do not fog while touring! The way they fit allow airflow underneath, and also don't press on my high cheekbones (people with high cheekbones know this struggle) they work great at showing the snow texture and are so damn comfortable to wear with a beanie. All in all, I'm pretty damn obsessed with these. I've never been one to baby glasses, but these things are treated like gold. If you want a pair of sunnies that can perform but also look great, snag a pair of these. Zeal has really stepped it up with their optics and I'm pumped to have jumped on the Zeal train.
