Julbo Explorer Glasses Review.


As you can see, Julbo NZ were kind enough to give me a pair of glasses both to try and to 'sell' on to clients and others I came a cross this last year, that being said it was not hard to do.


After the initial instinct to page Elton John for his missing glasses, these guys grew on me and seeing that there is not an abundance of mirrors in the great southern continent I was secure in my masculinity.
There are a few other, less challenging colours available including Black and Grey but I liked that challenge of looking like a French mountain guide.


The short of it is that these glasses rock, as a glacier and high altitude glass, with their great coverage, side shields and adjustable arms for fit they worked a treat.
Being able to remove the side shields and or adjust the flow of air with them was great when ski touring uphill on days with no or little wind to cool off. They are great solid design with more than one screw holding them on the arms which seemed to add a great amount of redundancy. With my only concern being the attachment of the flexible arms to the body which seemed to be able to pull off if you tried hard but would be fixed with a bit of super glue.


Check these guys out, they are a great mountaineering glass that will push the boundaries of cafe life but will protect your eyes phenomenally while in the hills. So if you are spending a lot of time in the hills, on glaciers or anywhere that there is large amounts of glare like expeditions or the like I highly recommend them.
Thanks Julbo Julbo Explorer Glasses.
