Good glacier sun glasses?
Julbo treks are my favourite glasses I’ve had in a while. I also have the blast with those lenses and the suspect with a darker non photochromic lense. Trek fits me the best. Good wrap. Pretty much medium fit. Mine aren’t, but they can be prescription sunglasses. They’ve lasted incredibly well. 2 1/2 years of constant biking and skiing. Work great in all conditions unless it’s almost dark out. I bring my darker ones with the intent to use them on the glacier but it seems I just end up using the treks. Usually there’s a convective cloud bank that rolls they tgroughout the day and the photochromic treks just work. I wish I had that^^^ color frame though. Mine are white frame gawdy from a bc.com sale. Picked all my julbo’s up from their reoccurring sunglasses sales

Just did my first run in the Treks. Got them for skiing and climbing, but figured why not run in them since they are so light. No fogging issues at all. They worked great, and will be good biking glasses as well.

I now have about a dozen tours on with the Julbo Explorer 2.0. So far these have been working great. I have zero issues with them fogging and the cameleon lenses works great. Used them for glacier touring this weekend with clear blue sky. You don't even notice they are getting darker. They are just perfectly dark all the time. That said, when it's completely overcast with very dark clouds, I think they are a little too dark for my taste.

Glad you're digging them!
Do you find that it's still too bright to have no shades on in those conditions? I love the Camel/chameleon lens, and I've found there's only maybe 5% of the time when the lenses are too dark but conditions are too bright to forego shades.
Glad to hear fogging wasn't an issue. Hope it stays that way -- the anti-fogging agent wears off after a while, IME."Alpine rock and steep, deep powder are what I seek, and I will always find solace there." - Bean Bowers

Yeah, I tried a different shape this weekend and they worked pretty well with the croakie/strap thing. No fogging issues this weekend either. Still not super comfortable, especially with the adjustable plastic stuff in the back of my climbing helmet. I still would prefer rubber on the nose.
Actually, it's possible I have the Asian fit version, which I believe has a wider nose spacing. Got them at an REI garage sale and there wasn't much of a label on them.

Yeah, in all fairness, I think the few times I thought they were a little too dark, I could probably have been without glasses.
It's been pretty warm here, so I guess that makes the fogging less of an issue too. I guess I will have to look into how to retreat them with anti-fog as needed.

Just an update...spent three days on Shasta up to almost 13,000' very clear sunny days and these glasses performed stellarly. No fogging, comfortable, and seemed to adjust to the right amount of shading. Forgot I was wearing often times. The only disadvantage is I have to take them off to use my camera because of the polarized lenses make my camera screen black.

So I have a question about these Julbo lenses.
Is the polarization of the Cameleon lense made by adding a coating on the outside of the lens? Or is it inside the lens? Anyone?

I spent a few weeks up in the alaskan range this spring and my buddy wore pit vipers the whole time no problem.
Everyone else in our group and most people we saw up there used a Julbo of some sort. I love my julbos and don't have any fogging issues. Their photochromatic lenses are rad and allow for all day use.

I have a Julbo Explorer and love it. It doesn't fall off and is very comfortable.

Anyone got a lead on Julbo deals? The Clymb seems a bit light in their current offerings.
