I’ve owned Julbo glasses since I started mountaineering, and loved them. I’ve had the old school pair, with the leather side sheilds and the newer, more stylish pair with the plastic shields and the more “modern” shaping to them. However, not until this fall did I ever think I’d own a pair of “women’s specific” glacier glasses! This past fall, Julbo released the Monterosa, their women’s specific pair of glasses, intended to be functional enough to be glacier glasses and stylish enough to be worn on a daily basis.
Monterosa Glacier Glasses- Style Points
Now, I will be the first to admit, I am NOT the person to write a review on what is in style. I live in my mountain khakis, flannel shirts, and rarely glance in the mirror before leaving the house. I readily wore my old Julbo’s as daily sunglasses, oblivious to the fact that I looked a bit out of place until my younger, more hip sister pointed it out one day, informing me that I looked like an ant on steroids. However, when I got my Julbo Monterosa’s, I was given the official “sister seal of approval,” for style. So, when I say that the Monterosa’s are fashionable and in style, rest assured that this has been assessed by a professional.
“Feminine from peaks to streets” is the slogan of the Monterosa- and I’d say they achieve it.
Larger, more squared frames look much more like style based glasses than the old Julbos.
