Julbo says

Julbo has combined its high-altitude technical expertise with a modern look to create high-protection, high-performance sunglasses. Removable fabric side shields provide flawless protection and comfort. Fitted with the Air Flow venting system, SHIELD will be your ally of choice when you start to work harder on the ascent. They’ll stay firmly in place thanks to curved Grip Tech temples and a non-slip bridge. And the sophisticated design will add an extra note of boldness to your next high-altitude challenge.

Our Verdict

Julbo’s Shield M Reactiv High Mountain 2-4 Sunglasses do a great job of balancing style, protection and performance all round. The glasses feature removable sidewalls to ensure that added protection against the wind, rain and snow you might find up there. The style of these glasses makes them much more versatile than some of the other high protection glasses so still look good worn around town. The adjustable arms and strap provided will keep these on your head no matter what shape it is or what activity you’re doing.

These come with Category 2-4 Reactiv High Mountain lenses which covers normal through to brighter light levels. The versatility of these polarized High Mountain lenses with anti-fog coating provide excellent performance for anyone who needs versatile glasses that can still give you maximum protection when needed. The lenses are versatile enough to wear on a range of conditions but they really excel in the brightest light when other glasses would be unable to cope.
