The shape-shifter for speed in the alpine.

The Julbo Edge Cover is designed for the athlete who refuses to choose between a trail running visor and a mountaineering glass. It takes the ultra-light, ventilated chassis of the performance "Edge" model and armors it for high altitude with removable side shields and a nose guard. This modularity allows you to have a fully vented, fog-free lens for the sweating approach, and then snap on the magnetic protection for the glaciated summit ridge. Whether you are speed-flying off a peak or pushing for a single-day ascent of Rainier, the Edge Cover adapts to the output and the altitude instantly.

Our Take

We recommend the Edge Cover for high-output climbers who find traditional glacier glasses too stifling during intense efforts. Its suspended lens design effectively eliminates fogging on steep skin tracks, while the magnetic lens system allows for instant adaptation to changing light conditions without fumbling with cold fingers. This is the only eyewear we stock that successfully combines the ventilation of a trail running visor with the critical side protection required for high-altitude exposure.

Why We Love It
Nicole De Petris

Our guides rely on the Edge Cover for expeditions like Denali because its modular design, featuring removable side shields and a nose guard, provides critical defense against long-term exposure. The available Reactiv 0-4 lens option transforms it into a true 24-hour tool, allowing you to keep your eyes protected from wind and snow even at night without switching to goggles. It is the definitive "do-it-all" eyewear for the variable light and harsh conditions found on Mount Rainier.

“"A good pair of sunglasses that can do it all is super important on expeditions. The Julbo Edge has both removable side shields and a nose cover which is super helpful in places like Denali when you are exposed for so long. It has enough coverage that you don’t need the side shields all the time. The glasses also have Reactiv 0-4 which means you can wear them all day and night; sun and wind protection! Great for Rainier. Plus they are great for winter"
-Nicole De Petris”

Our Philosophy

We Simplify Outfitting

Whittaker Mountaineering was born out of the need for RMI to make sure their clients had the appropriate gear to get to the top of Mt. Rainier safely. After decades of trying, reviewing, arguing-over, and recommending gear, we can’t help but know what we’re doing by this point. We know what works, we know what doesn’t, and we use that expertise to stock our store. 

Who are these guys?

Julbo

Julbo has been shielding eyes in the Alps for over a century. We carry them because they understand that on a glacier, eyewear is a critical component of your survival kit. When the UV index is off the charts and the wind is howling, you need glasses that don't fog, don't fall off, and block every photon of stray light. Julbo delivers that reliability, ensuring you come home with your vision intact.
