5 out of 5 stars Starring into the sun won't face these shades   September 10, 2009

6 out of 7 found this review helpful

I used these on an 8,000ft glacier in the Caucasus Mountains in Russia. My brothers wore the $140 Julbos. Although they looked pretty nice, we couldn't tell a difference. On our way down from the summit of 18,510ft we climbed straight into an electrical storm. Their face received a little zap because their Julbos had stiff, metal frames. These Julbo Sherpa glasses have flexible rubber frames that are very comfortable on your face and curl behind your ears so they don't slip off. I never needed to adjust other than pushes them up off of my nose due to sweat. These are great and durable glasses. Also, they are lightweight and don't take up much room!

These are great little glasses, comfortable around the ears and block the wind really well. For what you pay, these are one of the best glasses on the market in it's price range. Although, they don't have a lot of competition, maybe because they surpassed them years ago before I bought them.


5 out of 5 stars SG1 Jack O'Neill Sunglasses   June 26, 2009

They might not be the exact sunglasses Jack wore but they are close enough. Besides keeping the dust out of the eyes on my motorcycle and making the world golden they look wicked sexy and make people jealous.

Having seen little about these lenses, but hearing good things from the few reviews I HAD seen, I decided to give them a try. They are shipped with a hard plastic case which does an excellent job of protecting them when not on your face and they have a cord that can be attached so they hang around your neck if the case isn't needed. I'm not a big fan of wrap-around style earpieces, but these are quite comfortable and don't bother me at all. I spend a good deal of time looking downward at work, and I have yet to have these glasses slide off my face. The side shields work excellently, very little outside light gets past them and the glasses fit closely enough to the face that only when the sun is very high and in front will you get any real amount of glare. If a hat is worn in addition, there is almost zero glare. The lenses themselves are outstanding, very good clarity and enough tint to really reduce brightness but not overly impact visibility.

Overall I'm very happy with these glasses, I have a pair of Serengeti glasses that cost almost twice what these did, and for outdoor activities, these Julbo glasses have taken the #1 spot for me.

I'm not using these for the original purpose but they're great for what I need. I live in Texas and have developed great sensitivity to light over the past couple of years. These lenses block out enough light that I have next to no difficulty on a bright day.

I've read a few reviews about these being a cheap version and easy to damage but I have not add any problems. They've been dropped on several occasions, sometimes onto concrete without even a scratch on the lenses. The plastic that wraps around your ears feels really flimsy at first, but seems like it would take a lot of effort to break it.

The airflow is also great, and the little bits that are open allow my eyes to get some moisture.
