Julbo Monterosa 2 Glacier Glasses for Men & Women w/Removable Side Shields for Hiking, Snow/Glare - 100% UV Protection

These are great sunglasses for reducing sun and snow glare. I’ve only worn these a few times and I tried to pull off the side shield so I could super glue them on (had to do that with previous Julbo glasses), but these aren’t coming off which is great. Maybe Julbo fixed that problem.

I initially received a pair that was quite beat up, probably someone else’s return that the fulfillment center decided was okay enough. Julbo customer service rep, Marc, reached out immediately to address my concerns and was extremely helpful and kind. Their responsiveness is a great reflection on the quality of their products, because the glasses are amazing!!

Reactive lens helps with changing light conditions. Lens color helps with contrast in dim and bright conditions. Fit not as tight as it could be but frames come with a removable elastic head band to help retain glasses if needed. Comes with a nice case and bag for storage options.

She has raved about this product: She speaks her mind. If she gives them a great review and they are essential in the precarious nature of her work location, I don’t think you could find a better endorsement.

Fit, perfect for a normal noggen Lenses, great adjustment from low to bright light. The anti-fog coating works amazing as I'm using it with a mask due to work requirements. Cleaning it though is time consuming. Side shields, work well, would have preferred a little larger and in black to block out light properly. Arms, work well with a headband and/or cap/hat. Biggest problem is that without headgear on, they tent to slip off easily. I'm very conscious of this fact and hold onto them if the situation requires it. Other than that, these glasses really are worth every cent. I purchased them for the photochromatic properties and the side shields in particular. Would recommend these glasses to anyone that wants a quality pair that you can rely on. Been using daily for a few weeks now. No scratches to deal with.

I ordered the Monterosa 2 with the reactive lenses that range from 2-4. Initially, I loved these glasses. The lense is big enough that almost your entire field of vision is unobstructed; the only location I can see glasses frame while I am wearing them is the lower portion over my cheeks, and this doesn’t obstruct my view of the rest of the world at all. The side shields prevent light from hitting my eyes and causing my pupils to constrict, and then struggle to see through the glasses anyway. The polarized lenses make the world more crisp and detailed than with natural vision alone. The reactive lenses make these easy to wear even as you move from bright direct sun into the shade- they adjust to the level of darkness needed. But… then, less than a month into owning them, on one of my hikes, I got back to my car and realized one of the side shields was missing. The next day, the other one disappeared on my morning hike. We’re talking walking here. They fell apart and pieces fell off just walking. These glasses are far too expensive to just have pieces falling off. I looked up to see if replacement parts can be purchased, and the company wants $60 for replacement side shields (they list ones for sale for $6.50, but those are all “sold out”, so only $60 pieces of plastic exist). If you want glasses that are functional for more than a month, look elsewhere. These can’t even withstand the stresses of a leisurely stroll in the hills.
