Our Verdict
Julbo's Ultimate Cover Reactiv Performance 2-4 DL 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 Category 2-4 Reactiv High Mountain lenses which covers normal through to brighter light levels. The versatility of these polarized High Mountain lenses with anti-fog coating provide excellent performance for anyone who needs versatile glasses that can still give you maximum protection when needed. The lenses are versatile enough to wear on a range of conditions but they really excel in the brightest light when other glasses would be unable to cope.
