Show More Show Less View Video Transcript
0:00
Everybody, we're with Nikolai, the f
0:02
co-founder of Ombbras, and we are we've
0:04
really tested them. Uh, and they're
0:07
they're really neat sunglasses with a
0:09
lot of advantages. So, Nikolai, tell us
0:11
a bit about your innovative product and
0:14
its sustainability, the boot.
0:16
Thank you so much for the introduction,
0:18
Sam. So, I'd say uh Umbra's armless
0:21
sunglasses are the first of their kind.
0:23
If you think about eyewear, it's really
0:24
it fails in the in the same places. It's
0:27
the arms, the screws, and hinges. They
0:29
break, they fall off, they squeeze your
0:30
head when you're you're wearing them for
0:32
extended periods of time. And all those
0:35
problems, they stem from the arms, the
0:37
screws, and the hinges. So, by doing
0:38
away with those, we've solved all those
0:40
frustration points. So, the way they
0:42
work is you got an adjustable cord. You
0:45
pull the beads apart to tighten, pull
0:46
the cord to loosen, and they don't
0:50
really look all that different from
0:51
normal pair of sunglasses. I've got my
0:53
trusty pair around my neck here. I've
0:55
already got them adjusted to the perfect
0:56
tautness and I just put them on like
0:58
this. And see, they're not too tight.
1:00
So, they're not like a pair of goggles.
1:02
They're super comfy. You barely notice
1:04
you have anything on. You can do a full
1:06
shake. Imagine you're running and
1:08
there's a bunch of rooing,
1:10
surfing, anything like that. Anything
1:11
active. And they're going to stay
1:13
comfortably and securely on your face.
1:15
Wow. And what style is that? Show us a
1:18
couple of the styles.
1:19
So, we've got seven styles in our
1:21
collection. This is the Teton in honey.
1:24
Um, and we've got a few other ones. So,
1:28
uh, we've got the Kamina here. This is a
1:30
Teton as well. We've got the Refugeio,
1:33
which is our premier running frame. And
1:36
then a handful of others. Basically,
1:38
seven styles. Each style comes in two
1:41
sizes. Everything comes in a narrow.
1:43
Everything comes in a regular or a
1:45
narrow or a regular and an XL. So, no
1:47
matter what face, shape or size you
1:49
have, we got a fit for you. And then the
1:51
sustainability and manufacturing story
1:53
is amazing.
1:54
Yeah,
1:55
tell us a bit more about that.
1:56
Yeah, so everything's made by hand in
1:58
Italy. Uh we use worldclass components
2:01
like Zeiss polarized optics. Um and
2:04
everything's warrantied for life. So if
2:06
anything ever happens to the frames or
2:08
adjustment system, got you. We got you
2:10
covered. No questions asked.
2:12
And how many trees?
2:13
So yeah, one of our one of the key parts
2:15
of the story is uh our sustainability
2:17
mission. So, um, our goal is to create a
2:20
net benefit impact by everything we do.
2:22
Whether it's by making a better pair of
2:23
sunglasses that lasts and and performs
2:26
well. Uh, but it's also through planting
2:28
20 trees for every pair we sell. So, for
2:30
every pair of ombers sold, we plant 20
2:32
mangrove trees in Madagascar. That makes
2:35
us the most carbon negative company in
2:37
the world. Actually, we sequester 1714
2:40
times the carbon that's created during
2:42
production and delivery through our 20
2:44
trees. So, yeah, super stoked about
2:46
that. Excellent product, excellent
2:48
story, excellent kind of mission too.
2:50
Thank you Sam.
2:51
Thank you.
2:51
Yeah, appreciate you.
2:53
Keep enjoying them.
2:54
Thanks for all the support.
