sunglasses/glacier glasses?
|
What sunglasses glasses do people use? My old glasses have been "forcefully retired" - fell off my nose at the top of a pitch yesterday. I am hoping to find something that would be suitable for both everyday wear as well as mountain use. I'd want a pair that |

Julbo. Camel or Zebra lenses. Never need interchangeable lenses again. |

JULBO for LIFE!!! |

Category 5 lenses, are you planning on doing some welding on the mountain? :) |

The Zebra is great because it gets up to >40% VLT, you can wear them even in heavy overcast or stormy conditions to protect your eyes.That does sound pretty awesome, I will give it a try.

I haven't been happy with my glacier glasses for everyday wear. Too dark and they don't breath well. Good for glaciers though. |
|
Another recommendation for Julbos. I bought a pair of Trek's with the photo chromatic lenses, and they're used for everything. Even have a removable foam sweat strip like you wanted. |

"Lasik in my not too distant future hopefully."
Careful with that one! You don't always get the desired results. ... |

Another vote for Julbo w/ zebra lenses. I use Julbo Bivouac's for all mountain activities, and even have a pair of julbo ski goggles with zebra lenses. Nothing is better. |
|
Another Vote for Julbo's |
