Julbo Montebianco Sunglasses - Spectron 4 Lens
Julbo Montebianco - Highly Recommended

Just got back from testing the Julbo Montebianco Sunglasses in the Sierras. With base camp set on Peaklet, we spent three days skiing and exploring the zones around Mt. Humphrey’s and Mt. Locke. Being sunny spring in the Sierras, my new Montebianco glasses with the Polarized Spectron 4 lens were put to the test straight away. From skinning and booting during the day to recouping at base camp in the afternoons, my new Julbos delivered exactly what I had hoped they would: unparallelled protection from the powerful spring sun, a comfortable and customizable fit (the arms are pliable allowing you to mold them for just the right fit), and crystal-clear optics. The removable side shields are great - on the longer/harder climbs, I popped them off and stashed them in my pocket to let my face breathe and to make sure perspiration did not get trapped inside. Highly recommended.
