Shield KJ

I got these to replace the Explorers and combat fog build-up in humid conditions. So far, the airflow is nice, and I haven't had to adjust the glasses too much during hikes. The squared frame gives my eyes room to breathe, unlike the Explorers' wraparound design. I enjoy the 0-4 chromatic lenses under a canopy. The sun guards rub a little on my cheekbone, and with my skin sensitivity, I can feel tiny fibers scratch it, so I slightly filed down the edge to soften the contact. I am not sure if I'll need to adjust the guards further, but so far I am digging the glasses. I am hoping Julbo releases a redesigned sun guard to replace the current ones.

Not what I expected

Great field of view and I’ve protection. The construction of the shield are the issue. They connect loosely and the wind shield is made of a foam with square edges that kind of feel like fine grain sandpaper on my face. I was hoping they would be a silicon or rounded edge for comfort on my face. I contacted customer service will return and I bought a different pair.

Meh for the price

Colors are atrocious, imo. Side shields snap fit and work new, but it feels flimsy. Would prefer darker tinting in lower level of light. Going to do some hiking in the Andes in a few weeks. If I can reply with the results I will.
