Boasting total coverage, easy customisation, ultimate comfort and the ability to stay snug to your face in the toughest winds - the Explorer 2.0 from Julbo are quite the piece. They are an absolute MUST if you are chasing snow-capped peaks, trail running up Crib Goch or multi-day trekking through the Rocky Mountains; basically anywhere where the sun will vary from average to relentless.
The lenses are the real spectacle of these glasses. These lenses sit in the lens categories 2 - 4, meaning they will suit everything from average levels of sunlight up to use in exceptional levels of strong sunlight (these lenses are not suitable for drivers and road users). They are photochromatic, meaning the lenses will self-adjust to suit the level of sunlight you are currently in. They are also polarized to reduce the glare when the sun is beating down. The lenses have a VLT (visible light transmission) of 5% - 20%, basically meaning that they will suit anything from high-glare desert adventures to snow-capped expeditions. They have an excellent anti-fog coating, so when you're breathing heavy and working hard, you won't have to stop every two minutes to wipe your glasses.
The lenses aren't the only impressive feature of these glasses though, they also feature removable (and interchangeable if you really feel like jazzing things up) sun shields, 360° adjustable arms (so you can bend them around your ears when the wind picks up or if you have a helmet on), front venting to avoid mist build-up and a flexible, shock-absorbing nose grip on the bridge of the nose. The adjustable arms are also wrapped in Grip Tech; an exclusive soft material that doesn't stick to hair but offers great grip (so your glasses stay in place) and optimal comfort.
If you're planning your next big adventure into the mountains then these should absolutely be on your kit list.
