For a cheap pair of glacier glasses they get the job done. I think they are much more suited for a larger frame head. I think the design is a little flawed as they lack the proper articulation to fit the curvature of the face. I find on my face there is a lot of light still getting through which is not totally optimal, but I think some of the other Julbo glasses do a much better job with coverage. I find this pair of glasses does not really allow the periphery vision to engage as much as some of the more modern wrap around glasses do. The side shield material is a little tough and not as maleable as I would like and I end up futzing with it more than desirable. The lenses are just ok, but what can you really expect for 45 dollars. I think for the price they can get the job done but no bells and whistles. I personally use these as my back up and they seem to get the job done when in need. If you are looking for a fancy pair of glasses don't even think about it. If you want something simple, inexpensive and adequate then these could work for you.

I took this glasses on my trip to mt. Aconcagua, I used them for 15 days, they are very confortable, they work very fine at hot tempetures (110 Fº) as well as in low tempetures 0º F, I used them on the summit they, they cover pretty well the wind and the hard case helps a lot to throw them in your bagpack

These glasses are really large. They provide good coverage, but you do look like a Sherpa wearing glacier glasses from the old days. They block a lot of light, but aren't polarized. Fit securely with bend earpieces (wrap all the way behind ear) and are lightweight. At the end of the day, I have no reason to take my Oakley Half Jackets off in favor of these.
Sherpa will do the job

Can I put prescription lenses in this frame?
Brett

yes
Johnathan Rambo

Depends on where you go to and what type of vision you have. If you have astigmatism and are near or far sited, then your prescription may not work depending on the severity of your acuity. Different manufacturers may or may not have the capability to do so, so shop around and don't take one no for a final answer.

I love these glasses. They are great for blue bird days in the snow. The rubber on the ear frames is cheesy but once it comes off it performs just as well. My friends think they are dorky but the are very effective at making me look like a raccoon.

Do what they are suppose to
Ronnie Ray-Gun

These are a great alternative to dropping big dollars on the higher end models. They protect the eyes, have the side coverings and are fairly light weight. The only downfall is the lenses do tend to scratch easily.
Fantasic compromise

Between price and performance. worth every penny... Cheap enough to not worry about too much but high performance to really get the job done! eye protection at a premium price shouldnt be over looked. BONUS: when taking your glasses off momentarily you can just pull them below your chin and the ear/temple rests keep them on your face for quick adjustments.
This Is The Value Choice

I needed something that could prevent snow blindness and not fog up - the Sherpa's passed that test. I have a narrow face that is usually difficult to fit sunglasses to - Pass. Other reviewers note that they scratch easily yes they do. And the nose rest is not the most comfortable as far as sunglasses nose rests go. Since these succeed on the main points that I bought these for, I recommend these sunglasses.

If you want the best value for your bucks, buy Julbo. I live in the mountains and my shades take a beating in the backcountry. Comes with a hard shell case for storing so they don't get smashed. I lost my last pair so they aren't too expensive to replace. You can get better shades but no where near this price.

They aren't available on their website but give them a call (800-651-0833) or send them an email (info@julbousa.com) and tell them what you need. I hear their customer service is pretty good.
Great Value
Nick Pope

These glasses are a great value for people who need dependable equipment that won't break the bank. The lenses are glass and subject to the usual scatches. My biggest problem was when the rubber coating on the ear piece started to tear, the lubricant that slid it on the side rail was greasy and took a while to wear off. Once off, the ear loops didn't have the rubber but work just as good without it. I have had my pair for two years now and will buy another pair this season.
worth the $$$

i got these as a more inexpensive set of shades for all seasons. the wrap around ear pieces are flexible rubber and will not fall off your face. the side shades come off easy for warm weather, and it comes with a handy dandy hard shell case. definitely worth the $$$, i love mine.

Why does it say in the description that these are a "huge value at under forty bucks" yet the price is listed at 44.95. Yes, I guess I am cheap but I think the description should at least be true.
