        Just returned from Sun Valley. Gave these glasses a test run, snow shoeing every day in all kinds of weather. Will pack them when we head out to Mt. Rainier for our "Summer Summit" in July. They performed as advertised. My two cousins tried them and ordered a pair for themselves that day. Campmor service and delivery, excellent; why shop any where else?

          Comments about Julbo Explorer Polarized Photochromic Glacier Glasses:

          I bought these for skiing and boarding on the bright Utah new-snow days. Haven't had a chance to use them for that. But they are fantastic for boating. They cut the glare, darken up for the super bright Lake Powell days, they fit tight and keep my eyes from drying out while driving the boat and they stop all the UV so my eyes feel great at the end of the day. Buy them! They're worth the big price tag and Campmor had the very best price I could find.

              Comments about Julbo Explorer Polarized Photochromic Glacier Glasses:

              I always a little skeptical of product claims. If these glasses deliver the protection they claim, it's a good value. The downsides were the fit, for me personally, the quality of the frames/lens and the cost.

                    These Glasses are amazing! The photochromatic lenses work flawlessly. Good quality eye protection in extreme glare situations. These things darken up beautifully in really bright light, but lighten up enough to see in lesser light. Full coverage, don't fog up easily, and are adjustable for optimal fit. Got a great deal on these here at campmor. You can't go wrong with these glasses. Well worth the money.
