Julbo gave their high-tech Explorer Sunglasses incredible Alti Spectron 4 Lens that provide 95% visible light reduction to protect your eyes on high-altitude mountaineering trips. Take these Julbo glacier glasses to Rainier, Alaska, or even the Himalayas. Designed with help from Chamonix mountain guides, these glacier glasses features removable side shields and a wrap-around design that rivals the protection offered by goggles in high winds and blowing snow. The Explorer Sunglasses also include a removable stretch headband to keep them in place and let you drop them to your neck when you crawl into a tent. Julbo added frame vents to reduce fogging because you can't climb if you can't see.
Bottom Line: Take on the most demanding mountains in the world with the professionally designed Julbo Explorer Sunglasses protecting your eyes from the high-altitude sun.
I have had a pair of these glasses for several years. My eyes are very sensitive to light. I use these on the water, in the mountains, on bike (motorized and pedal) and anytime I am outside. They are amazing. Easily the best glasses I have ever owned. They are equal to the two pairs of Julbo micropores (glass lenses) I also own. I was worried about the lens durability of the spectrons but they have been great. They are much lighter than the micropores. I find myself wearing these more than the micropores. I will definitely buy another pair when these are done.

Have not gotten them out in the mountains yet or even out of the house yet tbh. However these things fit like a glove and seem of a fairly good quality. I think i will really like them?
So far so good, just buy them if you think you want them. So long as they fit your face these are the business!! If not return them...
I recently purchased julbo explorer alti arc glasses which are not polarized, I want to use them for skiing. I considered the cameleon lens which are polarized, however, my past experience with polarized lenses is that they dont work well on snow in sunny conditions as you cant see the terrain in detail well enough, any thoughts or experience would be welcome?
If you are going to use them in the sun only, then I would say go with polarized... yes you sacrifice a little bit of terrain detail, but the ease on your eyes at the end of the day will be appreciated...
Love these for general mountaineering and expeditions...fits a beko really well too! Recommend you replace the rubber cinch with a barrel lock to keep them locked on your face, it will get loose after a while. Good value for money from Julbo in general...
These are fantastic glasses. I have tried all the different ones and when I look up, down, left, right along the periphery of my vision, these let in the fewest UVs. When I'm up high on a mountain I don't want to take any chances with my vision. The fit is great too. I have a low bridge on my nose so glasses love to slip down, especially when I glance down to check my footing. The adjustable ear hooks and rubber cinch keep these in place even when my face is sweating. I got the Spectron 4 polycarb lens because I didn't want to risk glass shattering on a fall. The white also looks sleek and cool. Great glasses - highly recommended.
When I received these glasses from Backcountry I noticed that there was some sort of reflection on the inside of the left lens. So I cleaned the lens but it was no better. I then called Julbo USA and ask if knew of any problems and to see if they could correct the issue. I was going to be traveling to the Atacama desert in Chile in just two days and needed a good pair of glasses.I had ordered the glasses from Backcountry and got them in just two days, thanks for the fast shipping. The guy at Julbo could not determine the problem by my explaination. So, he said he would send me a new pair next day shipping so I would have them before I left for Chile, and I could send the pair in question back when I returned from my trip. So the next day I got the glasses and they were perfect, no glare or reflection, and when I returned from my trip I sent the others back to Julbo. The UV is quite high there, we were working at 10,000 to 16,000 feet elevation in the desert and the glasses worked great, I was very glad I had them. I have a small face and they fit very well with the bendable ear hooks and they look cool too. I can not say enough about the exceptional customer service I got from Julbo. The glasses are great and Julbo's customer service should be the model for all companies. If you think these glasses are a little expensive don't, you are getting what you pay for, a great product from a great company
Hey Dave,The best thing to do is jump on "live chat" and ask those folks. They'll be able to look up if there are any on order, and if so they can give you an approximate arrival date.
Just used these on my Kili climb and they worked very well. There is not a whole lot of white stuff up there unless you are planning to traverse the Heim glacier, so you could probably get by with a less expensive pair. I was very happy to have these and you will look cool in the photos.
