Ive owned two pair of Vuarnet glacier glasses which I used for skiing and wilderness hiking back in the eighties and early nineties. Although they were excellent protection from UV and glare, they were heavy. Vuarnet at that time used real glass. The upside was you could drop them and they were scratch resistant. The downside was like I said, weight. Of course, if you lost them (and I did), you were out a hundred bucks or more. Along comes Julbo. Essentially the same type of protection and construction at a fraction of the weight...and cost. If youre careful, these will last you for years. If you get them too scratched up, you can easily afford to replace them. Same if you lose them. I see no downside to owning a pair of these and heartily recommend them for people who like to have fun in the mountains all season long. Theyre so light, you forget youre wearing them.

I really liked these glasses. I use them while sitting in the stand lifeguarding and they cut down the glare quite a bit. They are kind of big. Im about average sized and they were a little big for me. They would fit an adult whos stopped growing perfectly well. The pair i got were tinted blue on the front but when you looked through them they were brown. they get kind of dark when the sun goes down. I cant wait till the snow comes so i can use them on the mountains! they would be perfect for that.

Other than being slightly larger than they look in the pictures, these sunglasses are great. They block plently of light and are perfect for what I use them for, which is bike riding and sled riding. The side shields are removable for conditions that require more peripheral vision and less light blockage, and they are super light weight and comfortable. I recommend these sunglasses.
