The removable Teton Nose Pad Riser adds depth to the nose pad, lifting the frames slightly off the face to improve ventilation and reduce fogging during high-output activity. The riser also provides a better fit for those with low nose bridges.

About the artist

In 2012 Jensen Brehm was on a five-day camel safari in India's Thar Desert when someone sat on his sunglasses.
