      Pros

      • Comfortable
      • Good Protection

      Cons

      • Lenses Fog

      Best Uses

      • Mountaineering

      Comments about Julbo Nomad Glacier Glasses:

      Great coverage and dark lenses are perfect for mountaineering pursuits or blocking bright rays. The removable side shields do not remove as easily as they should, be careful. My lenses fogged a bit due to sweat buildup, but overall these provided great protection and were comfy for a 16 hour day of climbing.

      • Sizing:
      • Feels true to size

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      • Flimsy Frame
      • Obstructs Peripheral Vision

      Best Uses

      Comments about Julbo Nomad Glacier Glasses:

      These Glasses worked well on the glacier for protection but for me still foged up when climbing up the mt. Before I lost them in a forest and 3 years of use the arms began to loosen up and they felt flimsy.

      Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      These would be great if I could have manipulated the ear section over my mastoid bone a little better. By the end of the week. I had bruises. Maybe they will fit you better.

        • Glacier camping or work

        Comments about Julbo Nomad Glacier Glasses:

        These glasses provided good protection. The only problem that I experienced was that in very cold conditions (-20*C or colder), the frames got very cold and uncomfortable against my face.
