Description

The biggest Faster, with the widest lens. You see far to the side, and wind and dust get behind the lens less easily. Because there's no frame around it, the glasses still stay light and airy.

The Reactiv 1-3 High Contrast lens adapts to the light. In its lightest setting you can keep it on in the forest and under clouds, while in the sun it gets dark enough for open terrain. You notice it most on routes that keep switching between shade and sun.

Not sure about the size? If regular sports glasses don't reach your temples or you see the edge in your view, the XL fits better. With an average face, the Faster L is more compact. For snow and glaciers you need a category 4 lens.

Wide face and changing light: then this is your Faster.

Why Julbo?

You start in the dark, run through a shady forest and an hour later you're on a bare ridge in full sun. One pair of glasses that handles all of that saves a lot of hassle. That's exactly why we carry Julbo at Trail.NL.

Julbo makes sports glasses for runners, cyclists and mountain athletes. Best known are the photochromic Reactiv lenses and the light, frameless models you barely feel at high pace. For the mountains there are wider glasses with side shields.

For us, Julbo is above all a brand that knows what mountain light does to your eyes: photochromic lenses, a stable fit and more than 130 years of experience with eyewear.

Frequently asked questions

How light does the Reactiv 1-3 lens get?

In its lightest setting the lens is category 1: lightly tinted, fine for clouds and forest. In bright sunlight it darkens to category 3. At real dusk a 0-3 lens is slightly nicer.

Is the XL too big for me?

The XL is meant for wide faces or anyone who wants lots of coverage. If it sticks out far at the sides or slides down, choose the Faster L.

Can I wear the glasses with a helmet?

Yes, the thin, flexible temples are made to wear with a bike helmet.
