Julbo says

Lightweight sunglasses specifically designed for women and runners with smaller faces, Aerolite is directly derived from the Aero model, a benchmark for trail runners. It offers the same level of grip and ventilation, with a rimless lens for even more lightness and a tremendous feeling of freedom. With its REACTIV Photochromic lenses, Aerolite is designed to go further in all conditions.

Our Verdict

Julbo’s Aerolite Reactiv Performance 1-3 HC Sunglasses are designed for runners with smaller faces. A super lightweight design with flexible grips along the arms allow these glasses to stay in place whether you’re ultra running or aiming for PB’s. The intelligent aerated design allow increased ventilation around 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 so you can concentrate solely on the run.

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.
