Hike Sunglasses

The Julbo Hike is about what you’d expect from a high-end French company: sturdy—if not indestructible—and well made. The Falcon lenses are super-large, and they adjust to ambient light in roughly 20 seconds. There’s no doubt that these glasses do the job. I’d be the last person on Earth to determine—or care about—cool factor (because all I want is shade from my shades), but for what it’s worth, people have told me that they look cool… and I’m inclined to take their word for it. $90-$190; julbousa.com.
