Julbo Nomad Sunglasses - Alti Spectron 4 Lens

Item #JUL0071 | 4 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Superb function, kinda durable, worth the money

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #45 - Sunglasses March 27, 2009

For less than 100 bucks, there isn't a better pair of mountaineering specs out there. Like other gear, fit is key, so if the Nomads fit your face like they do mine(kinda narrow) they cut out both the suns rays and reflections off snow and ice. The Nomads are light and durable, which is important for carrying in your pack on goggle days. I find that I need to replace mine at least once a year, but perhaps my usage is above average. After many cleanings, the reflective coating on the lens begins to rub off. The detachable side shields sound cool, but I never detach them. I have found these glasses to be between average and above-average for ventilation and fogging.
