Wally Phillips

Hey McDuke,
Thanks for the question. I checked with Julbo and found that both of the options offered on this page for the Julbo Micropore Sunglasses - Alti Arc 4+ Lens are a Mineral Glass lens. There is an option that has the Spectron 3 lens as well which is a poly-carbonate lens that is available on the site.

Asian Face Friendly
John N.
Member since
Looks like old school mountaineering glasses but with new technology. This was actually the only mountaineering glasses with Spectron lenses that would fit my Asian face. I know there are Asian fit sunglasses out there but none of which are specific glacier glasses. A bit heavier than the other styles since the lenses are glass, but other than that great glasses.

Can you get prescription lenses for them.
John B
Member since
Yes, you certainly can. Various online and brick/mortar vendors will fit these with a variety of compatible lenses for wear in the mountains or on the sea--anywhere that glare and UV is a particular issue. Different filter/transmission levels available. I've seen up to 91% vis light reduction. I also tried on a pair and like them; good fit, comfortable on the bridge of the nose, and not too curved to take Rx lens. Good luck!
Kirk Haskell
Member since
Kenny . Yes thes will fit RX perfectly . As a metter of fact this is one of the most popular RX frames for Mountaineering. Opticus in Boulder Colorado does an amazing job with RX and has a variety of Lens's to work with www.opticus.com

Hey David,
You definitely get enough airflow to prevent fogging, I wouldn't be worried about it.

can you put your precscription lenses in the frame
jason spellman

you could i am sure, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of getting these glasses to begin with...light reduction. you might be hard pressed to find lenses that offer the same amount of visible light reduction.

I was recently in an optometry's glasses store (or whatever you call it). I noticed they had these (and other Julbos and other brands) available. So I asked them about it and apparently you can get prescription lenses made for them. So the answer is yes, but probably not on backcountry.com.

My qualifications: I am a congenital 4-eyes, since 5th grade, and unable to wear contacts. Any good optician can put good sun lenses in at any good frames, if you can pay. You never, or rarely, get discounts for putting lenses in frames you bring in. I recommend polarized for most conditions. LIMITS: you can't use the frames with curved lenses. Most Julbos will probably hold Rx lenses. Buy a set, carry them in to the optician and ask: if they can't be fitted, return them. I have a pair of Julbo frames that I bought, tossed the lenses, and had fitted with good quality sunglass lenses - sturdy frames, lasted for years. Thinking about getting a new set, which is what got me here (go for ones with detachable side shields). I also have a pair of Persols that - after tossing the lenses - I fitted with Rx no-line tri focal polarized lenses. Top of the line. Lenses lasted >5 yrs of sun, snow, salt water and getting sat on twice. Hope that helps.

You can get RX lenses in them at www.opticus.com, based in Boulder Colorado. They ship to places all around the world and specialize in RX lenses. I've known a couple people who got Julbo fitted with an RX lense and had great results.

These are by far the best sunglasses I have ever owned. I use them hiking and kayaking. Only down side is the definatly don't float. After six years they finally landed at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean. Guess I will be getting a new pair soon.

Lately my eyes have been tired from the sun, so I got these glasses for full eye protection. My eyes are already feeling better. I like the wrap around arms that grab my ears and hang on comfortably. And the sleek case that protects them when not in use.

Will mountaineer glasses work well for mountain biking?
Faris

It's all personal preference, of course, but I wouldn't think they would breathe well enough. I would expect there to be too much sweat buildup inside on the lenses.

Not bad
Emonk
Member since
The glasses are very nice. Well fitted, not too heavy, good stuff. However, there's a bit of distortion to the lens, so it takes a little getting used to to wear them. Also note that the brown tint is prevalent in what you're looking at. They make the whole world a bit browner. Not a problem for me, but something another buyer might care to know.
excellent

I am very pleased with my new sunglasses, they are comfortable, light, and durable. Everything I needed at an excellent price.
Flexible Frames Slightly Inconvenient
Samantha D.
Member since
Great eye protection, lightweight, comfortable. The only inconvenience is that these glasses have bendable wire frames that don't completely hold up in the pocket of my jacket. When I took them out of the case (which I don't carry when I'm climbing), and placed them in the chest pocket of my jacket, they were bent when I put them on. It took me a while to bend the frames back into a comfortable position. Love the glasses, but would prefer to have solid frames like other Julbo glacier glasses.

Very comfortable, they have changed the nosepiece, and they feel much lighter. The glass lenses great, its scratch proof. I love the glasses.
