Julbo says

Faster, stronger, higher: high mountaineering is changing, and the same is true for Julbo’s flagship model. More ergonomic, better ventilation, slimmer and more stylish, Explorer 2.0 reaches new summits in performance. With large coverage, removable shields, 360° adjustable temples and high protection lenses, these glacier sunglasses are designed for extreme conditions without any comprise.

Our Verdict

Julbo’s Explorer 2.0 Reactiv High Mountain 2-4 Sunglasses have slimmed down so that they can perform even better when undertaking serious mountaineering activities. They have exceptional clarity from the polarized lenses with great peripheral vision. The Category 2-4 lenses are specifically designed for high altitude activities where high levels of protection are needed from visible light, UV light and increased glare but conditions can vary.

The glasses feature removable sidewalls to ensure that added protection against the wind, rain and snow you might find up there. The style of these glasses may not be to everyone’s taste but they are really comfortable to wear. The adjustable arms and strap provided will keep these on your head no matter what shape it is or what activity you’re doing.
