Classic styling meets high-altitude functionality — built for snowfields, glaciers, and full sun exposure.
Julbo says:
Blurring the lines between heritage-inspired design and modern functionality, the LEGACY is a fusion of tradition and visionary transformation. Primed for both outdoors performance and urbanised wearability, they’re ideal for every day use in a myriad of environments. Inspired by mountaineering icons, these glasses come with removable side shields for optimised protection, have lightweight and adjustable Grip Tech temples and a no-slip nose bridge for comfort and hold.
Our Verdict
The Julbo Legacy Spectron 4 sunglasses are a modern nod to traditional glacier glasses, complete with leather side shields and a sturdy mixed-material frame. At 26g, they’re surprisingly light given the level of protection they offer. The Category 4 lenses are very dark, blocking out all but 5% of visible light — ideal for high-glare settings where lesser lenses just don't cut it.
The adjustable arms and grippy nose bridge help keep the fit secure, and I appreciated the stability. The side shields can be removed if you prefer less coverage, though they do make a noticeable difference in blocking peripheral glare.
These aren’t for mixed light or forested routes — there’s no tint adjustment — but for sustained exposure, they do exactly what they’re made for.
