Vermont Glacier Sunglasses for Men & Women w/Leather Side Shields for Hiking, Skiing, Trekking - 100% UV Protection

Great glasses. Fit and look awesome. Besides some individuals thinking you are steam punking it, lots of compliments. The only thing I have noticed is a slight partial halo in the lower outside portion of the lens, but only in the shade, completely not there in direct light. I enjoy because my eyes actually relax when in the sun. Downside is when driving, your peripheral vision is not available, you really have to turn your head.

Tl;dr if you are actually going to use these where they were designed to be used, buy them. If you want them for style only, read my dislikes. Like: exactly as described. Super dark. Great for snow glare. Side light blocking works as intended. Looks fantastic. Huge attention grabber and icebreaker in Starbucks haha. They fit fine and I have a wide head. The ear loops work well when you're running/jumping about. Dislike: every day wear is not too great if you keep the leather on. Does not fit while wearing a full faced helmet. I would never wear these while driving with the side shades on due to restricted vision. Also, walking down the sidewalk I have to take extra time to look for traffic because of this restricted vision. Also, walking around Los Angeles at sunset I can't see if anybody is approaching from the sides. Lessens awareness overall. Did not include a hard case for storage, just a soft sock.

I wear these out on colder hikes such as winter expeditions in New Hampshire and hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. Every time I wear them people are always asking me where I got them so that they can snag a pair because they're vintage look just never gets old. But aside from being a compliment-magnet, these are genuinely amazing lenses that put many sunglasses to shame with how clear and HD they feel. The side blockers are great for my very sensitive blue eyes. My only complaint is that after a while, they begin to feel uncomfortable behind the ear. I was hoping that the arms could be bent and morphed a little easier to fit my ear but alas every now and then I notice it putting pressure on the backside of my right ear. The nose bridge can also get heavy ever so slightly after a long period of wearing them, but nevertheless I still love these glasses.

Originally bought these because I'm absolutely in love with the classic climbing look. Never expected them to work so well. They've gone on multiple climbs with me here in Colorado and even made it up Rainier without any problems! Me and my climbing partner both agree these work pretty amazingly for the price point. Only thing is they can be a little tight on your face, they have some funky spacing but the lenses are great. Didn't have a problem seeing the snow consistencies on Rainier with the lenses and here in Colorado I usually take them rock climbing with me. They have yet to scratch. 4 stars because they're obviously not as advanced as some more modern-style glasses/goggles but they do well as advertised. Definitely will always have a place in my gear!

I wear them while riding my motorcycle. I ride a cool looking V-Twin Cruiser, wear a half helmet and these glasses. They look way more solid then all the cheap ones I got before but I read a lot of bad reviews about their durability. So far so good. Visibility through the glass is great. I would personally prefer normal temples though, I don't need these grips because of the way I use it, with a motorcycle half helmet. A bit heavy.

Jeepers Creepers these are Fantastically Fantastic spex. Get your eyes back from the sun and send a clear message to bothersome photons; and that message is STAY OUT! Self-respecting UV rays had better not show their faces around these either, else they may find themselves filtered away. Not for crybabies, whimps or weaklings. Only a highly evolved and visually discriminating eye can or should attempt to adorn themselves with these. This means you, and only you are qualified to wear these; everyone else is just a wannabe trying to look half as cool as you look wearing them. But you didn't set out to look cool. No, sir. You just wanted adequate protection from the sun. Which is exactly what you have found; if adequate is code for excellent, terrific, and fantastic. Excellenterrifantastic even. Yeah. That's right. Probably also well suited for climbing glaciers as the name suggests but I don't do cold climates so that is for someone else to decide. Capital eye-dea, my friend; Simply Capital. If performance and comfort plus style are all qualities you esteem, the price is a bargain at half the price or twice the price.

This purchase turned out to be a real bummer for me. I have used the Julbo Glacier style sunglasses for longer than 4 years. This would have been my 3rd pair in this style. When They arrived They came in a bag while my previous pairs came in a hard shell case. The weight of the sunglasses was much lighter than the previous ones I own. The materials were much cheaper from the lenses to the "leather" for the peripheral sun block. The ear hoops were stiff and pushed my ears out while on my head. There was no way to adjust them like previous models. The ends of the ear loop rubber were cut off. The cuts were not even straight. There was no nose piece. The lenses are supposed to serve as the bridge which puts the lenses closer together. It was not a flattering look. I am sad because the previous models were my favorite sunglasses of all time! I will just have to stock up on eBay or something. They put very little effort into these sunglasses. I would not buy them no matter how much they cost. They should not have gotten out of the testing phase.

Can only go three stars for now since I feel a little misled about the glasses. Product title says black frame-black lenses w/ silver mirror. I took that as a black frame with black lenses with a silver mirror coating. The frames are in fact silver. Haven't decided if I like them enough with silver frames to keep them or return them and look for something different. Have to see if the silver grows on me for a moment. As far as the glasses go. They work as sunglasses and I'm sure the side protection will work as I want for wind while driving with the windows and sunroof open. they seem very sturdy and they fit nicely. But the shiny silver frame though..... The pics and description also state that it comes with a microfiber cleaning/ storage bag. Nope. It comes with a microfiber cloth which is fine, but something to keep track of. The storage bag is actually a stiff felt bag that doesn't leave much room for the cleaning cloth. Small detail, but when being outdoors and active, its something else to keep track of and have to deal with.
