        Comments about Julbo Race Photochromic Sunglasses:

        These are great glasses, I've used them primarily as "glacier goggles" for mountaineering etc. They're great at clearing fog when you're exerting yourself and they have a tight fit. I haven't bought croakies for them yet and haven't had a problem with them moving / falling off. If there's a con, its that their light transmission at their darkest seems lighter than the 7% advertised, but I haven't had any significant issues with glare / brightness. On the flip side, they really do go to 100% light transmission in dark conditions - I've driven in the dark with them and forgot that I had them on. Overall, strong construction, great fit and a good buy.

        Comments about Julbo Race Photochromic Sunglasses:

        So far I really like these glasses especially how they brighten up the surrounding yet provide sun protection to my eyes. The only negative is that while driving and needing to check my blind spot I'm forced to turn my head quite far to the left. I actually plan to try to fix that issue using a dremel tool but haven't tried that yet.

        Comments about Julbo Race Photochromic Sunglasses:

        I love Oakleys for style and quality, but I fell for these. The photochromatic feature is sweet, as I can leave them on while in transit through various light conditions. With other glasses, they're coming on and off a lot as I dodge in and out of stores and restaurants, and I end up forgetting them or scratching them with all the fuss. Very stylish, and cover my eyes well, perhaps too well. I would wish they sat a little off the bridge of my nose, for air flow. Otherwise, they are light and fit nicely onto my head, without pinching anywhere. On their web site, Julbo claims these are polarized, so maybe [@] has it wrong? Overall, a fine pair of shades.
