| I'm a Sawyer on a "Hotshot" crew and it maybe a little different than they're intended use on glaciers, but for hours on end, in hundred degree heat with dirt and sweat and flying wood chips... These glasses are Boss. Some of the high points are the full coverage, the light weight design, the wrap around ear arm thingys,and the venting. Low points... The frame of the blinders, which is the part that clips to the glasses, is made out of plastic and after some abuse little clip ended up breaking. The dye in the leather blinders come out and streaks down the side of your face making you look all emo... WTF! Plus they make you look like an Evil Genius or Mad Scientist |

| The lenses aren't as dark as I thought they would be (I got the Alti Arc x8), but I'm going to trust the claims from Julbo that these filter out (93% reduction). The frame is adjustable around the ears, and I really like that feature. My old Nomads tended to cut into my head after several hours. The nose piece will help keep these from sliding down my nose (another problem I had with the Nomads). These aren't suited for casual wear, but they seem much better suited for mountaineering than others I've owned (Julbo Nomad and Native Dash). |

| The pluses? Excellent eye protection, adjustable nose and ear pieces, great lenses. They're big. I have a larger head and most glasses don't fit well. There's no problem here. Large lenses protect your eyes and provide a nearly obstruction free view. The minuses? For day to day use, they look a bit funky. When climbing or spending time in the outdoors during winter there's no substitute but day to day in the summer the large nose piece will get some strange looks. I know it's removable but it really looks worse without it. |

| I wish this were a wild review, but I bought your glacier glasses because I have developed an eye disease. Needed the extra coverage to protect my eyes so I don't lose vision before surgery next month. They are great. A bit big for my face, but were able to get them adjusted a bit so that they stay put. Wear a hat too to protect glare from coming in above the eyes as well. Too bad I didn't get the hat from Moose Jaw. |

| Comfort?? Maybe? Great looking glasses; however, after using them they did require some getting use to. The glasses seem to hang low on the bridge of the nose, and the leather sides dig into your cheek bones. I use them for hiking, fishing, and being that high winds are predominant here they offer good protection from flying debris. A few minor adjustments and the glasses now fit great! |

| Not glacier rounds... Same great lens, similar style-one big bonus is the adjustable type earpiece and spring temples-those on my rounds would always break. A more than decent replacement but there's nothing like the original! I have worn nothing but Julbo for 20 years now and could not be more satisfied. |

| Really great old school climbing glasses. I've never done any real climbing, but if you're a nocturnal creature like I am, nothing beats these out on the water...or the park, or a brightly lit mall. |

| I wore these all winter to stave off the snow glare. Although a bit overkill for Michigan, I don't regeret the purchase. The removable side shades make these glasses good for everday use. |

| They do everything you want them to, plus the make you look like Reinhold Messner while doing it. What mountaineer doesn't want that? |
