No crux with the crux

They want to be trendsetters. The sunglasses from Nectar Sunglasses. The crux of the matter with trends: they come and go. This one can stay for all I care.
The trend-conscious video producer from the design department wears them, as does the hip Insta-influencer. It may be that Nectar sunglasses are suitable for the hip street café in Paris' chic neighbourhood or for shopping on Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse. And look good on Instagram. But what can they do on a mountain hike?

Unbeatable
Pure sunshine. Golden autumn. Oh, what can I say, it's kitschy beautiful in October in the Grisons mountains. The mood, the light, the colours: unbeatable. Luckily, I have my new sunglasses with me. Yes, I fell for the marketing of Nectar and bought one of their pieces. Not only the design, but also the price is unbeatable.
Don't let wearing an expensive pair of shades hold you back from doing something epic!
Don't let wearing an expensive pair of shades hold you back from doing something epic! Well, I wouldn't call my two-day mountain hike epic. But you get the idea. If the 300-franc Ray Ban breaks, the annoyance factor is a lot higher. So which glasses, for what purpose? You can also find the answers here in the guide:
First impression
Fits, fits, protects. These sunglasses are made for my face. Nothing wobbles, nothing slips. With the S3 tint level, my eyes are well protected on these sunny days at high altitude. And all for less than 40 francs. What more could I want?
