Julbo Shield M Polarized 3CF Sunglasses

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Julbo has produced a stylish frame for those who climb, run or ride in the mountain to reflect both their spirit of adventure and technical ability. All terrain and all protection, SHIELD will open both your field of vision and your mind to what’s possible: non-slip curved temples with Grip Nose so they stay on your head when things get bumpy! Air Flow ventilation and removable soft feel side shields guarantee maximum comfort. The sleek rectangular shape ensures style and bold moves go hand-in-hand.

Julbo says

Julbo has combined its high-altitude technical expertise with a modern look to create high-protection, high-performance sunglasses. Removable fabric side shields provide flawless protection and comfort. Fitted with the Air Flow venting system, SHIELD M will be your ally of choice when you start to work harder on the ascent. They’ll stay firmly in place thanks to curved Grip Tech temples and a non-slip bridge. And the sophisticated design will add an extra note of boldness to your next high-altitude challenge.

Our Verdict

Julbo’s Shield M Polarized 3CF Sunglasses do a great job of balancing style, protection and performance all round. 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 makes them much more versatile than some of the other high protection glasses so still look good worn around town. The adjustable arms and strap provided will keep these on your head no matter what shape it is or what activity you’re doing.

These come with Cat. 3 lenses which provide, in my opinion, the best vision for conditions you are most likely to find in the UK. The coloured coating on the glasses does not reflect the colours you see through them with this CF (colour flash) bringing a bit more style to the design. They have a great effect on bringing out colours and bright and partially cloudy days, or a good summers day here in the UK!
