Jens Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Do any of the big brands (Julbo, Bolle', etc.)make a pair of real glass glacier glasses? I hate all the polycarbonates and the like. I can't find any of them anywhere. I don't want ones that look like Poindexter glacier goggles and if they are under a 100 bucks that would be a plus. Anyone in the know?

Couloir Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I'm not sure if "and the like" include the hardened mineral technology that Julbo has. But it's good and works very well. They also have some very interesting new glasses the I saw at OR today. They make some great glasses IMO. It seems weird to "hate" something like polycarbonates. Some people find some of the good polycarbonate material used in sunglasses quite useful and effective. Some even love it. Save hate for things that are worth hating; child molesters, suicide bombers, people that rape disabled women. Those things are worth hating.

I just sent an ancient pair of glacier glasses back to them that I almost threw away because they were totally trashed. I got an e-mail from them today, just 3 days after I sent them in, and they told me since they no longer make that model I can pick a new pair from the Julbo website and the glasses would be shipped to me next week. The pair I sent in were also replacements they had given me over 10 years ago when I sent an even older pair in. Sure keeps me loyal to them.

DPS Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Jens, Not too long ago I bought a pair of Cebe glacier glasses from Mountain Gear. They have excellent quality glass lenses. While not hip looking like some newer style glasses, they have a classic aviator style that I like. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicMtnBoy Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 The ones I bought from MEC several years ago have stylin round real glass lenses. It doesn't look like they sell em anymore though (they were fairly cheap too). You can watch ebay for those old swiss army glacier goggles. Those have real glass and will totally get you old school points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokyobob Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hey, Check out opticus on the interweb. I've used their glasses for several years-excellent, they can also cut your rx to fit julbo frames. Great customer service, I lost a screw and they sent replacement parts and threw in a new nose pad at no cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
