Julbo Sherpa Sunglasses - Spectron 3 Lens

Julbo Sherpa Sunglasses - Spectron 3 Lens description

The Julbo Sherpa is the choice of budget minded explorers. Let's face it, expedition costs are not cheap. Add multiple air fares on top of mountains of expensive gear and food and there's not much left over for incidentals. The Sherpa offers full bright light protection, reducing visible light by 88% with Julbo's Spectron X5 lens. Moldable temples, removable side shields, and polycarbonate lens all come included. Huge value at under forty bucks! (Good lookin' shades, too.) Excellent choice for skiers, snowboarders and mountaineers alike.

These offer great protection, even on the brightest day on the water. Although somewhat of a PIA to put on single handed, these things are very comfortable to wear and they never fall off your head. I go through a pair every two years or so mostly through lens wear, scratches etc. Ive only broken one pair. That, unfortunately, was under the wheels of a jeep. Otherwise, no problems at all.If you judge sunglasses by how much you spend, or how pretty they look - these glasses are not for you. If you want good protection and comfortable wear, I would strongly suggest you check these out.

I purchased the Julbo Micorpore Alti Arc X8 sunglasses but the weld broke. I'm looking for another pair but they don't have them. The lenses are great but I've read where the frames are weak. I still would like another pair but I can't find them. They have the X5 but I'd like the darker X8. Too bad for me.

Not a great pair; there are better choices. Okay for single use.
