GiantMouse casually drops the GMF1-XL Black Dunes in a moody limited release
With sweeping carbon scales, Vanadis steel, and only 175 units worldwide, this stealth-ready fixed blade is built to carry with confidence.
The armless sunglasses that converted skeptics everywhere just brought back a fan favorite, the Slate Dolomite. And this time, it’s a limited-edition drop, still handcrafted in Italy, offered in just 1,300 pairs, and only while supplies last.
Ombraz calls it a clean Slate, but there’s nothing basic about it.
The Dolomite is one of the brand’s most iconic silhouettes, and the first Ombraz style we reviewed here on Trail and Kale, featuring a circular lens, keyhole bridge, and integrated mini visors that reduce peripheral glare without overcomplicating the design.
Now in its updated Slate finish, the frame feels as grounded as ever, with a soft matte tone and natural earthiness that pairs just as well with trail gear as it does with travel or everyday city wear.
Built for life, not the gear drawer
Ombraz sunglasses aren’t just clever, they’re actually hard to go back from, if you do a lot of adventuring outdoors.
With no arms to break, bend, or pinch, they pack flat, wear securely, and stay in place whether you’re moving fast on foot or posted up at the lake.
The Slate Dolomite adds premium detail to that same proven design:
- Price: $175, available now (October 23, 2025) at ombraz.com
- Handmade, and hand-painted in Italy
- TR-90 aerospace-grade nylon frames — indestructible, ultralight
- Carl Zeiss optics — polarized light brown lenses for everyday clarity
- Integrated cord system — antimicrobial, adjustable, and made from 100% recycled fishing nets
- Z87.1 safety rated — durable enough for impact protection
- Oleophobic & scratch-resistant coatings
- UV400 (100% UVA/UVB protection)
- 23g total weight with neoprene case + built-in microfiber cloth
The Zeiss light brown lenses hit a sweet spot for contrast, depth, and color perception in shifting light, making them ideal for everything from road trips to ridgelines, fall hikes to lazy rivers.
Sustainability in every pair
Like every Ombraz release, the Slate Dolomite comes with a sustainability story that goes way beyond recycled marketing claims.
For every pair sold, Ombraz plants 20 mangrove trees in Madagascar, which, per their lifecycle analysis, sequesters over 1,700 times the carbon it takes to produce and deliver a single pair.
That makes Ombraz not just carbon neutral, but what they call the most carbon-negative product on the planet.
Available now, but not for long
The Limited-Edition Slate Dolomite is available now (October 23, 2025) at ombraz.com and select retailers for $175.
It comes in Regular (the most popular size) and XL sizing and is compatible with all Dolomite accessories, including removable side shields for glacier-style protection.
Once these 1,300 pairs are gone, they’re gone, so if Slate’s been on your wishlist, now’s the time to pull the trigger.
