Why Julbo Ski Goggles Stand Out

When selecting ski goggles, optical quality is essential. They also need to be comfortable, easy to adjust, and compatible with your ski helmet. Julbo ski goggles excel in all these areas, being easy to use, wearable over a hat or helmet, and featuring state-of-the-art lenses. Julbo has developed a range of lenses to meet the needs of all skiers, providing perfect protection against UV rays and ensuring optimal visibility in all weather conditions.

Spectron Lenses

These lenses provide excellent UV protection and come in various colours and categories (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) to suit all weather conditions. They are ideal for both skiers and snowboarders, whether the light is low—such as at night, dawn, or in fog—moderate on overcast days, or intense on sunny days at high altitudes.

Reactiv Lenses

The Reactiv range represents Julbo’s pinnacle of photochromic lenses. Thanks to their ability to adapt automatically to changing light levels, they ensure clear vision all day without needing to change lenses. In mountain environments, where the weather can shift rapidly from misty to bright sun, goggles with Reactiv lenses are highly impressive.

Which Julbo Ski Goggles Are Best for Whiteout Conditions?

When fog is so dense that it’s hard to tell the difference between the clouds and the snow, it’s known as a whiteout. This specific mountain phenomenon can be unpleasant for some, potentially causing balance issues, vertigo, and even headaches. To avoid these inconveniences caused by losing visual landmarks, it’s best to use low-visibility ski goggles. Here are the recommended Julbo models.

Goggles with Spectron 1 Lenses

Goggles fitted with a Spectron Category 1 lens are ideal for foggy conditions. The light tint allows more light to pass through, improving visibility in low-light environments.

Photochromic Goggles

The distinctive feature of Julbo’s photochromic ski goggles is their lenses that darken and lighten depending on ambient light. Here are the types of Reactiv lenses Julbo has developed:

Reactiv High Contrast (Categories 1 to 3 or 0 to 4)

The Reactiv 1-3 High Contrast or Reactiv 0-4 High Contrast lenses are perfect for foggy mountain conditions. As the mist clears, they gradually darken with the brightening sky. The Reactiv 0-4 High Contrast covers the widest range, usable from night to bright sunlight at high altitudes.

Reactiv Light Amplifier (Category 1 to 3)

Goggles with a Reactiv 1-3 Light Amplifier lens are also excellent for low-light conditions, such as fog. It adjusts to light, amplifies it, and enhances contrast, making it easier to see the terrain.

Reactiv Glare Control (Category 1-3)

The Reactiv 1-3 Glare Control lenses are equally suited to low-visibility conditions. Thanks to the anti-glare filter, they increase contrast and enhance terrain perception.

While the Reactiv High Contrast lenses are exceptional in whiteout conditions, the Reactiv Light Amplifier and Glare Control lenses are also solid options for foggy mountain days.

Which Julbo Goggles for Cloudy Weather?

The Spectron 2 lenses are designed by Julbo to perfectly suit moderate light levels when the sun is partially obscured by clouds. These polycarbonate lenses are known for their lightness and durability, filtering 100% of UV rays, which are present even on overcast days.

Moreover, as you may already know from this content, photochromic lenses adjust to ambient light levels. The previously mentioned lenses (Reactiv 1-3 High Contrast, Reactiv 1-3 Light Amplifier, and Reactiv 1-3 Glare Control) are perfect for cloudy mountain weather. This is the advantage of category 1-3 photochromic goggles, covering most weather conditions encountered in the mountains.

Julbo Men’s Ski Goggles

Several criteria should be considered when choosing a pair of men's ski goggles. But with Julbo, you’re guaranteed quality equipment that is both protective and durable.

The brand offers a wide range of goggles with Spectron lenses. The primary factor to consider is the lens category (0, 1, 2, 3), which corresponds to the weather conditions you’ll be facing.

Julbo wouldn’t be Julbo without its range of goggles with photochromic lenses. As discussed earlier, their shade automatically adjusts to light levels, providing optimal visibility regardless of conditions. This versatility is particularly advantageous for freeriders and ski tourers who spend all day outside, but it’s also beneficial for resort skiers, where weather conditions can change rapidly.

Comfort is another essential factor, and all Julbo goggles are lined with dual or triple-density foam around the frame. They also feature a ventilation system that prevents condensation buildup during intense activity.

Helmet compatibility is equally important for complete protection and perfect ergonomics. Whether you’re after style, comfort, or performance, Julbo goggles meet the needs of skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels.

Julbo Women’s Ski Goggles

When it comes to women's ski goggles, Julbo offers an extensive range, so it’s important to understand the criteria for choosing the right one.

Julbo women’s frames are designed to fit women’s facial structure, with frames suited for smaller faces, and they include dual or triple-layer foam for maximum comfort.

Like the men's models, Julbo women’s goggles offer a broad range of lenses, from Spectron to photochromic Reactiv options that adjust to changing weather—from thick fog to sunny days.

If you’re looking for goggles that combine comfort and style, Julbo’s women’s models are sure to satisfy. Available with spherical, cylindrical, or toric lenses in various colours, they are all compatible with ski helmets for optimal protection and ergonomics.

Julbo Ski Goggles for Kids

Among the kids' ski goggles we offer, Julbo models are excellent options. They feature frames designed for smaller faces, with dual or triple-density foam. Most of them come with the Air Flow system to prevent fogging inside the goggles. The adjustable strap ensures a precise fit and stability on a ski helmet.

Regarding lenses, the Spectron 3 is an excellent choice, providing full UV protection. With a category 3 rating, it’s ideal for bright, sunny days on the slopes.

Like the adult models, some Julbo kids’ ski goggles feature the Chromakids 2-3 photochromic lens that adjusts automatically to ambient light, transitioning from category 2 to 3, ensuring optimal vision whether skies are partially cloudy or clear.

OTG Goggles, Compatible with Prescription Glasses

If you wear prescription glasses, you’ll be pleased to know that Julbo offers compatible models. The Titan OTG, one of the brand’s bestsellers, fits comfortably over your glasses for maximum comfort.

How to Prevent Fogging in Your Julbo Ski Goggles?

All Julbo goggles feature discreet ventilation to reduce internal fogging. This ensures optimal visibility throughout the day, whatever the conditions.

Double Lens and Anti-Fog Coating

Nearly all Julbo goggles come with double lenses, which help prevent fogging on the inside, which is also treated with an anti-fog coating. For cleaning, especially on the inner surface, we recommend using a soft cloth, like the one used for sunglasses lenses. Do not wipe the inside, it can damage the anti-fog coating. Let it dry and gently dab to remove droplets if needed.

SuperFlow Pro Ventilation

Julbo has developed a unique system for even better fog prevention, available on select models like the Lightyear and Launcher. The SuperFlow Pro ventilation system allows the lens to be slightly lifted from the frame, creating enough space for airflow to circulate and prevent fog buildup. This is particularly advantageous in crowded gondolas, on sunny patios, and even during ski touring climbs.

Julbo’s strength also lies in offering sports sunglasses for all activities. Don’t wait—discover them now at Glisshop!
