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.

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.

For the price, these are pretty nice glasses. They do a great job protecting the eyes from glare and wind, and they stay in place very well thanks to the long rubberized earpieces.

The primary weakness of these glasses is that they have a cheap plastic frame, and also the lenses are not very durable -- one of the lenses has a small crack after a month of admittedly pretty rough use.

These offer great protection, even on the brightest day on the water. Although somewhat of a PIA to put on single handed, these things are very comfortable to wear and they never fall off your head. I go through a pair every two years or so mostly through lens wear, scratches etc. I’ve only broken one pair. That, unfortunately, was under the wheels of a jeep. Otherwise, no problems at all.
If you judge sunglasses by how much you spend, or how pretty they look - these glasses are not for you. If you want good protection and comfortable wear, I would strongly suggest you check these out.

Having been an avid fisherman for many, many years, I have always been on the lookout for quality durable sunglasses. I have gone through numerous pairs but have found that every pair needed something more. I came across your website looking for "Ice breaker" sunglasses. After receiving my order, I immediately put them to use and have not been disappointed. For anyone who wishes to have a supreme pair of sunglasses while enjoying their favorite outdoor sport, I truly recommend the Julbo Ice breaker sunglasses. You won't be let down!

Not a great pair; there are better choices. Okay for single use.

I purchased the Julbo Micorpore Alti Arc X8 sunglasses but the weld broke. I'm looking for another pair but they don't have them. The lenses are great but I've read where the frames are weak. I still would like another pair but I can't find them. They have the X5 but I'd like the darker X8. Too bad for me.
