CanadaExcellent polarized glasses
My 2nd pair of Shield’s (other one is non-polarized). Polarizing works well, especially on water and snow. Lightweight with good fit. My only suggestion for improvement would be a flash reflective coating, like on the non-polarized Shield; as it is, the glasses look a bit plain.

I recently purchased the Julbo Shield M sunglasses and I am extremely happy with my purchase. These sunglasses are light and comfortable to wear, making them perfect for long days in the sun. The lenses adjust to a wide variety of light conditions and provide excellent coverage, even without the removable side shields. I have used these sunglasses while hiking in the mountains and they have performed exceptionally well. The colours of the trees leaf are amazing. I highly recommend the Julbo Shield M sunglasses to anyone in need of a reliable and high-performing pair of sunglasses. However they came with a rubber band that tightened the sunglasses to your head. When I remove them from my eyes it needs to sit on my head instead of my neck. At this price they should have come with both types of attachment.
CanadaNose Bridge Way Too Wide
I thought the M is supposed to be a smaller pair of sunglasses but the nose bridge is way too wide, and I go through a lot of sunglasses (from $20 Amazon to $300+ Oakley). I also have a fairly high nose (God help those who have flat noses). So the only way to hold it up is to attach the silicon strap to pull it against your face all the time. Oh and the shield rubs against your face, but I think you know that already, from other reviews. Very disappointing for my first pair of Julbo.
Canadareview of SHIELD M
These sunglasses have great lenses, and the vision is good. But they slide down my nose, and I need to keep bumping them back into place, and I think I have a largish head, so I'm surprised they don't stay on better. Also the peripheral light blockers tend to fall off easily, and they are the main reason I bought these glasses, so it makes them finicky in the field when I have to fiddle them back into place when I have gloves on.
CanadaShield Review
Great fit for me and excellent eye protection at high altitudes. I am a mountain guide and just did a trip into the Freshfield Icefields.
CanadaBest glasses I have ever had.
The Shield M fits my face perfectly. Lenses are super high quality and the tint range makes these glasses the most versatile pair I have ever had!
CanadaOddly fitted
These glasses look great and are very functional - I got the photochromatic ones.. However, I got these because the Shield were too large and flopping around on my face...But there's just sat oddly low on my nose - which I think Iis the design of the arms. I needed them raised off my nose by about a centimetre - then they were perfect. However, because they angled steeply down, I had a lot of light coming in the top and if I was wearing the side shields, the shields scratched my cheeks uncomfortably. I would only recommend these to people who try them on before buying - in case they sit oddly on (or off) your nose. If they fit though, these would be a great pair of glasses.
CanadaGreat glasses, terrible side shields
Glasses are comfortable, durable, scratch resistant, and look good. I use mine for biking, climbing, and casually. The side shields are terrible though, do they don't make the cut for mountaineering. I will preface with saying I have facial nerve damage, so it's a bit sensitive to light touch, but my partner who has the glasses reported the same issues. The side shields are roughly cut and an odd material, so they are quite uncomfortable on your face. I've had several pairs of different glasses with side shields and I've never had a problem with them until these. I wish they were the same soft rubber as other julbo pairs, or at the very least, not rough cut. I'll continue to use these glasses for low elevation sports without the shields though.
CanadaReally nice glasses but a bit too tight
I love my new glasses but they are a bit too tight with the fabric side shields
