Shield

Julbo

Price range: $169.95 through $239.95

The Shield's are designed for high-altitude mountains, fast-moving trails, and rugged environments.

These glasses deliver serious coverage, in a stylish and sleek rectangular shaped frame, with removable soft-feel side shields that block wind and glare and REACTIV lenses that handle shifting light with ease. Air Flow ventilation keeps fog at bay, and non-slip, grip tech temples and the grip nose provide excellent comfort and grip.

Ideal for those requiring a regular fit (Sunglass Width: 130mm, Lens Height: 45mm, Bridge Distance: 17mm, Temple Length: 130mm, Lens Width: 59mm).

LENSES:
  • REACTIV lenses are photochromic and adjust to changing light conditions by getting lighter or darker depending on the amount of UV light present. These lenses are made of NXT (Trivex), which has the clarity of glass and exceptional durability and impact resistance.
  • SPECTRON lenses are made of polycarbonate, which is light and offers good impact resistance.
  • POLARIZED lenses provide superior protection against the sun, reduce glare off bright and reflective surfaces (snow) which eases eye strain, therefore increasing visual comfort, contrast and clarity on the mountain.
Lens Visible Light Transmission
REACTIV 2-4 Polarized 20% - 5%
Spectron 4 5%
Spectron 3 13%

Consider the above information along with Julbo's guide to choosing your mountaineering glasses.
