Julbo Dolgan Sunglasses - Spectron X4 Lens

Julbo Dolgan Sunglasses - Spectron X4 Lens description

Julbo created the Dolgan Sunglasses to give you the high-mountain function of glacier glasses with the style of your everyday shades. Spectron X4 lenses provide 87% visible light reduction for high-altitude sun while the removable plastic side shields keep your peepers safe from snow glare. The Julbo Dolgan Sunglasses wide field of vision eliminates the feeling that you have blinders on your head like other glacier glasses.

The Dolgans are a nice glacier sunglass, very lightweight, comfortable, with adjustable side shields. The X4 lens is a Cat 3, I needed Cat 4, so I purchased the same sunglasses with the X6 lens. Either one is a good deal, durable and good looking.

...and the price is right.These glacier glasses are on the recommended equipment list for an upcoming skills seminar and summit attempt on Mt. Rainier. Although there are no instructions in the box (or online, so far as I could find), and contrary to the earlier review, the side shields ARE removeable. According to the manufacturer, the older model required removing the temple screws to remove the side shields; on the newer model (which I just bought here at Backcountry.com) they just pop out. It feels awkward removing them the first time, after just paying for a new pair of glasses, but you get used to it. The temples tend to widen with wear, so you might not want to relieve them too much when you first wear them...

Good sunglasses. Price is at the low end of the Julbo line, and the Dolgans are the best looking; so I keep buying a new pair each time I lose mine. The side shields are not removable
