Our Verdict

Julbo’s Shield Polarized 3CF Sunglasses, do a great job of balancing style, protection and performance all round. The glasses feature removable sidewalls to ensure that added protection against the wind, rain and snow you might find up there. The style of these glasses makes them much more versatile than some of the other high protection glasses so still look good worn around town. The adjustable arms and strap provided will keep these on your head no matter what shape it is or what activity you’re doing.

These come with Cat. 3 lenses which provide, in my opinion, the best vision for conditions you are most likely to find in the UK. The coloured coating on the glasses does not reflect the colours you see through them with this CF (colour flash) bringing a bit more style to the design. They have a great effect on bringing out colours and bright and partially cloudy days, or a good summers day here in the UK!
