Julbo says

MONTEBIANCO 2 is the perfect ally for admiring stunning landscapes. The lines of this now iconic Julbo model have been completely redefined for a more contemporary look showcasing its dynamic sporting credentials. In terms of comfort, the sunglasses have new Grip Tech temples and a non-slip bridge making them a benchmark model for the mountains. And you can still count on their protective design and removable side shields for safe exploration of new horizons at altitude.

Our Verdict

Julbo’s Montbianco 2 Spectron 4 Sunglasses have a pretty simple but very effective frame that suits a wide range of outdoor activities. The simple, curved design means the glasses sit comfortably and grip naturally – that being said they are probably not a good choice for high impact sports such as downhill or enduro riding as there is no additional grip fro silicon strips. The arms have removable side shields, for when you need that extra protection, and have small holes that allow you to add a cord attachment.

These come with Cat. 4 lenses which provide the highest level of protection from visible and UV light. The amount of protection is immediately obvious as they are the darkest in the range by far. Definitely not suitable for darker days or normal everyday use but ideal for high altitudes and particularly bright conditions where you need much more protection than normal.
