Broke on first wear

Bought for a motorbike ride so I don't have to use a helmet visor. They're comfortable for everything except driving. When I first put them on I thought they would be great, but when I started wearing them for riding the part that goes over the ear detached from the goggles. I taped them back along the way, but it didn't work in the end and they fell apart. I had to drive the rest of the way without eye protection. I sent them back and am waiting for a refund.

Pros
  • Mirror coating
Cons
  • Does not fit all

The best light filtering I've ever tried.

I was a little hesitant about these glasses, but when they went on sale I decided to at least try them. I have a very small face and a very small head. They're a little big, but no different than cheap department store glasses. The sides are flexible so you won't get that weird headache from the wrong fit. The filter is amazing. In fact, they are better than my ski goggles. Everything looks razor-sharp and glare-free. I had another Julbo glasses with lower filtering. yeast difference.

Pros
  • Non-polarized
Cons
  • So far so good

Lightweight, Durable Dark Shades

I wear them every day while driving. I have very sensitive eyes. I used to have Julbo Explorers but I left them at the airport. They cost a lot less than $$ and work really well and are a bit less bulky too. However, they are very dark. I could use photochromic explorers in medium to low light, but they're too dark for anything other than bright sun. They also seem to get very dirty and often erase fingerprints. They are very good and I like them. They have a black mirror finish. Explorers were

Pros
  • Full Coverage: Removable nylon side panels fully cover your eyes. Molded side frame offers strong protection.
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

but these are awesome. No distortion or fluctuations in lenses that.

Reliable quality even in this price range. I usually stay away from plastic lenses as I get burned too often with cheap optics, but these are fantastic. No distortion or wobble in the lenses that I can find. One note: they are very dark and not suitable for driving (I live in sunny Southern California). First, unless it's a very sunny day, you'll have a hard time discerning the subtle differences in hue and shape. Second, even with the side shutters removed (they slide out with small plasticโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lenses: Julbo Spectron 4 polycarbonate lenses offer category 4 protection and light transmission at 5% visibility. The anti-reflective coating increases visual comfort by eliminating stray reflections.
Cons
  • Interchangeable

Great blackout and very comfortable

I am completely satisfied with these Julbo Colorado Mtn. When it's light outside I need durable sunglasses to work in and these even fit me. These goggles filter the light much better than even my custom and prescription goggles - the ones I've had to ask the techs to add an extra "darkening" to. The "color" effect of the lens takes some getting used to, but it's a minor and temporary flaw. I read that these are men's glasses - not necessarily. The unisex style and sizing suits some women - ifโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Non polarized
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Great sunglasses! Outdoor

Great sunglasses for the price. They are very dark, with fully mirrored lenses and a sturdy metal frame. For those familiar with the "shading" system used to standardize lens tint, that's 4. Most sunglasses, even good brands, have no more than 3. Goggles used for oxy-fuel welding , typically have 5-7. Heavier welds (ARC/MIG/TIG) require a shade of 9-12 or higher depending on the amperage used. Julbo states in the manual that these sunglasses are not recommended for driving, but I find they work

Pros
  • Polycarbonate lenses
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models

Great mountaineering goggles

This year, early in the season in the mountains, we started climbing more, on mixed snow and rock. With the sun over 10,000 feet high and the reflective snow, it's torture for my eyes. Up to this point I had only worn 'regular' sunglasses, but I realized I needed something stronger. I got them because of the Spectron 4 lens and I'm very happy with it. They are definitely darker than regular sunglasses and everything is very clear when I wear them. It seems to remove a lot of glare even thoughโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lenses: Julbo Spectron 4 polycarbonate lenses offer category 4 protection and 5% light transmission. The anti-reflective coating increases visual comfort by eliminating stray reflections.
Cons
  • Modernity
