Julbo says

Julbo pushes the limits of performance with the tapered outline of its ULTIMATE sunglasses model. Each line and detail of this model’s geometry are designed to serve one goal only: to give you ultimate freedom in your sport. New CustomFIT temples with precise and long-lasting adjustment, combined with a Grip Tech structure, produce a tailor-made grip and a lightweight spec. Fitted with a 3D Nose, the sunglasses offer flawless hold when you’re working flat out, with or without a helmet. A panoramic lens creates an aggressive look while giving you protection and visual comfort thanks to REACTIV Photochromic lenses. Now it’s your turn to push the limits!

Our Verdict

Julbo’s Ultimate Reactiv Performance 0-3 Sunglasses are at the top of the class in terms of performance, weight, coverage and protection. The ultra lightweight design and solid hold make them versatile enough for a wide range of activities. The wide field of vision combined with a Reactiv lens means that changeable conditions are not a problem. They work perfectly for running, riding or simply walking when you want the best possible sunglasses available.

The Reactive lenses cover Category 0-3 which essentially provides protection from the lowest light levels through to a normal sunny day. The ability to use them in low light is a big advantage but the nature of the Reactiv lens is ideal for conditions where the light levels can vary dramatically such as racing through wooded areas where you are in and out of bright light and shadows regularly. These are top quality lenses which provide excellent coverage and protection.
