Julbo Miss Sunglasses
January 17, 2009
I have this thing for aviator sunglasses. I really don’t care whether they are suited to my face or not, I just think they are the coolest sunglasses ever. You can’t go wrong with a good pair of aviators. Naturally, I love the Julbo Miss sunglasses, a classic aviator with a bit of a modern twist. Or is it a retro twist, since the colors are kind of neon? Seriously, I love Julbo and think their glasses fit women’s faces really well and their lenses are among the best in the industry; but I really wish they’d stop with the neon. Neon was fun in its day, but its day is over and it’s not coming back, not if I can help it.
Other than that, though, the Miss sunglasses are great. They have a nice curved shape to fit close to the face and block out as much indirect light as possible. They are snug and shaped for a woman’s face, so they’re smaller than regular sunglasses. The lenses are nice and dark and protect even the most sensitive of eyes (which I know, ‘cuz I’ve got ‘em). The lenses are Cat 3, which aren’t the darkest possible, but they are still good enough for everything but extended exposure to snow and glacier travel. However, most Julbo glasses allow you to have your choice of lens when you buy them, so you’ll probably be able to customize them to be just exactly the way you like them. They’re more of a fashion-oriented item rather than sport, but hey, everyone needs sunglasses for doing stuff in-between sports, right? And even though they’re kind of neon, they do come in pink, so of course I like them. Though I must admit that what with the pink hat, pink sunglasses, pink bike, pink helmet, and pink shirt, I might be overdoing it just a wee bit.
