Review: Great fit on size 7.5 head. Really comfortable. - These Julbo Julbo Colorado Sunglasses are very well made and a good deal for the price. They seem to be rugged enough for daily wear and hiking and are amazingly comfortable on my size 7.5 (military headgear) head. I especially like how adjustable the earpieces are, I was able to adjust them to cover my eyes completely and still be incredibly comfortable. After I start walking, I barely notice they are on until someone compliments them or tries to look at themselves in the mirror finish. I am blind and the side covers help a lot in preventing wind and sunburn as I don't know when the sun is shining directly on my eyes. I don't like glasses that are heavy on the bridge of my nose and these are not. Even though they don't dig in, they still stay on snugly. My son says I look about as cool as I'm capable of looking too. The rigid case is very large for the size of these glasses but still fits into my backpack and I like the zippered hard cases more than the soft or the snap types.
Review: Great sunglasses! - Awesome sunglasses for the price. These are very dark, with full mirrored lenses and a sturdy metal frame. For those familiar with the 'shade' system used to standardize lens tinting, these are a 4. Most sunglasses, even good brands are a 3 at most. Glasses used for oxyacetylene torch welding are usually a 5-7. More powerful forms of welding (ARC/MIG/TIG) require a 9-12 shade or higher depending on the amperage used. Julbo states in the manual that these sunglasses are not recommended for driving, but I find that they work fine, especially in ultra-high glare situations like wet/snow covered roads. They turn an extremely sunny day into the filtered, yellow/orange light you usually see through summer storm clouds. If you're like me, and kept wishing that your standard sunglasses were just a little darker, these are what you're looking for. The side shields aren't distracting, and make it unnecessary to play with the visor in your vehicle when the sun is coming through the side windows. They're made or leather and are fully removable if the look or feel bothers you. The lenses are not polarized, as is common with most glasses designed for mountaineering. This allows the user to see the reflections from dangerous patches of ice before they're too close. Heavily chromed bumpers will definitely get you attention on a sunny day, but they're not unbearable. Another neat feature not described in the add, the ear pieces are flexible on the ends. This allows you to curl them back over your ears for maximum retention during vigorous activity. I've owned some very expensive sunglasses in the past. For the price, you can't beat these. I look forward to trying other Julbo models in the future.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent mountaineering glasses
*by A***R on June 25, 2014*

This year, we have been doing more early season climbing in the mountains, and have been climbing on mixed snow and rocks. When it is sunny, over 10,000 feet elevation, and reflecting snow, it is torture on my eyes. I've been using just "regular" sunglasses up to this point, but realized I needed something stronger. I got these because of the spectron 4 lens, and I'm very happy with them. They are definitely darker than normal sunglasses, and everything is very clear when I wear them. It seems to remove a lot of glare, even though they are not polarized. In fact, you don't want to wear polarized glasses when climbing snow slopes because they can remove the glare of ice, which is something you definitely want to be aware of when climbing steep snow! Also, the flexible ear pieces are nice to get a custom fit, which is important when you don't want to keep fiddling with your glasses on a 60 degree snow slope! Lastly, they are very light weight, and don't bother me at all if I wear them all day. Just a note, Julbo states these should not be used for driving, but I find no problem when driving. In fact, I get a lot of relief from late afternoon low sun angles when driving with these on. Your eyes will adjust to the darkness of them, and it's a lot safer than being blinded by harsh sun. The only minor gripe is the removable side screens hit my face on the left side. I think that's because I'm an imperfect person (just ask my girlfriend, haha!), and my nose is not perfectly centered on my temples. Just something to be aware of, if they rub on your face it may be irritating. Also, I think these are made for people with larger heads, because they look HUGE on my face. The coverage is still quite good, but they don't look particularly "cool" when I'm posing for photos lol! Overall, I'm very happy with the functionality of the glasses, quite excellent for the price. They may not be the most stylish glasses out there, but I'm much more concerned about how they perform, and it excels at that. UPDATE 10/14: I ended up buying a different pair (Julbo Tensing M) since I really didn't like how enormous these are. These are still fine, but I will just use them at work when I'm in the field all day. The Tensing's are actually way lighter than these, and feel better on my face. I would only recommend these to people with HUGE heads...
