Frame and Features

Aside from the lenses, The Cham has a slew of other technical features that make them our top choice for days on the hill, including the iconic leather side shields. These aren’t only for aesthetics (although they do deliver that unmistakably vintage look), they protect the eyes from the peripheral angles. They’re one of the features that our photographer friends and colleagues rave about, and if you’re into that kinda thing, they’ll help you to see your screen more clearly when the days are bright and sunny. Not to worry if you’re not into them, or the weather doesn’t require the extra layer of protection, they’re easily removable.

For comfort, they also have special grippy nose pads to stop them slipping, which even cling on when you’re suncreamed up or pouring with sweat making your way up the skin track. Plus, the arms are 360° rotatable to fit under any hat, helmet or cap of your choosing.

Roundup

The Cham are available in a range of different colours, lens tints and polarisation options, so you can really dial in the perfect pair for you. They’re iconic, and for good reason- they do a bloody good job of protecting your peepers, and let’s be real, they look dope as hell too.

Pros:

• Great protection for the eyes in extreme conditions
• Bringing the nostalgia fuelled aesthetic

Cons:

• Only one size available

“Julbo started in 1888, created by Jules Baud (hence the name). Celebrating the classic 1950s Julbo glacier glasses – the first eye protection created exclusively for mountaineers – the Cham is that rare combination, functional yet totally stylish. Shiny metal, soft leather and rivets, backed up by high-performance lenses. Adopted by rock stars and climbers alike, they are a true collector’s item.”
