Blending superb optics and light weight, these polarized sunglasses can be worn hiking all day--from low morning light to extreme afternoon light!

Polarized lenses reduce 99% of visible glare from water, snow, sand and pavement for increased visual acuity and decreased eye strain
Scratch-resistant, hydrophobic coated Cameleon® NXT photochromic lenses darken in bright-light situations and lighten as the clouds move in
Long lasting hydrophobic coating on lenses prevents streaking or spotting in even the wettest conditions
Provides 100% protection from UV rays and reduces visible light transmission between 95% and 87%, depending on darkness of photochromic lenses
Flexible, shock-proof nose pads become tacky as you perspire holding eyewear in place during strenuous activity
Ergonomically bending temples allow for a snug and comfortable fit
Adjustable neck cord attaches to frames with a unique clipping system and can be removed quickly and easily as needed
Includes a protective hard case
Best fits medium to large faces
NXT polyurethane lens material provides exceptional optical clarity and visual comfort
Extremely flexible and impact-resistant, NXT are guaranteed not to scratch, break or crack

Imported.

Comments about Julbo Typhoon Polarized Photochromic Sunglasses:

THESE GLASSES ARE A GREAT FIT FOR KAYAKING/SAILING. THE POLARIZED LENSES PERFORM WELL EVEN AGAINST OUR TROPICAL SUN GLARE. THE LEASH IS EASY TO USE AND THEY ARE COMFORTABLE FOR HOURS ON END. I ONLY HAVE TWO "BUTS" ABOUT THESE GLASSES. THE PHOTOCHROMIC CHANGE IN COLOR DEPTH IS BARELY NOTICEABLE SO I HAVE TO TAKE THEM OFF NEAR SUNSET AS THEY ARE VERY DARK. ALSO, THE "SCRATCHPROOF" LENSES ARE TOUGH AND IN FACT I HAVE NOT PHYSICALLY SCRATCHED THEM IN ALMOST A YEAR, BUT BOTH LENSES HAVE DEVELOPED UNIFORM VERY TINY STRESS CRACKS MUCH LIKE AN OLD LEXAN NALGENE BOTTLE DOES. CONSEQUENTLY, VISUAL ACUITY HAS DEFINITELY DEGRADED SINCE PURCHASE. KIND OF A BUMMER FOR OTHERWISE EXCELLENT WATERPLAY SUNGLASSES.

Comments about Julbo Typhoon Polarized Photochromic Sunglasses:

The Good:

I give these glasses five stars for clarity, comfort, polarization and construction. I think I see better with them on then off. So far my abuse has not scratched the lenses.

The Bad:

The neck strap is not very secure. I've knocked it loose multiple times. The photochromic range is very limited, under marginal light they are too dark, under extreme bright light they could be darker. I've also have moderate problems with fogging under humid conditions at temperatures as high as 70 degrees.
