Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

When going fast and light are a priority these glasses are in their element. With an excellent field of vision, a top quality photochromic lens and supreme venting they are designed for fast action.

Julbo says

Designed for fans of intense effort, such as vertical kilometre racing, these sunglasses are uncompromising when it comes to performance and comfort. Also available in a REACTIV Photochromic version, the mono-lens guarantees a wide, obstacle free field of vision, regardless of light levels. The suspended construction adds outstanding ventilation by encouraging air to pass between the lens and the frame. Last but not least, the Air Link concept and its shock absorber insert at the end of the temples offers even better grip and lightness

Our Verdict

Julbo’s Aero Reactiv Performance 1-3 Sunglasses are designed for speed. A super lightweight design with flexible grips along the arms allow these glasses to stay in place whether you’re hiking or sprinting up the mountain. The intelligent aerated design allow increased ventilation above the lens and along the arms to stop them steaming up. The wide, panoramic surface of the lens gives a wide field of vision and it makes a big difference when you’re picking your way over technical terrain.

These come with Reactiv Performance 1-3 lenses which cover Cat. 1 through to Cat 3. levels of protection. The versatility of these reactiv photochromic lenses are the highest performance for anyone who needs glasses able to cope with everyday conditions right up the use in the mountains. The lenses appear light and bright which makes you question the level of protection when you first wear them compared to a simple Cat. 3 lens but they are certainly up to the task and work well in any conditions.
