Julbo goggles

Superiority of Julbo Ski Goggles

When choosing ski goggles, optical quality is paramount. Of course, they also need to be comfortable, easy to adjust to your head size, and compatible with your ski helmet. This is where Julbo ski goggles stand out, offering all these advantages. They are extremely user-friendly, can be worn over a beanie or with a helmet, and feature cutting-edge lens technology. The brand has developed different types of lenses to meet the needs of all users. They all provide perfect protection against ultraviolet rays and guarantee optimal vision, whatever the weather conditions.

Spectron Lenses

These lenses offer excellent protection against ultraviolet rays. They are available in different coloursr and categories (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) to adapt to all weather conditions. They are truly ideal for both skiers and snowboarders, whether the light is low (for example at night, at dawn, or in fog), moderate (when the sky is overcast or hazy), or intense (on bright sunny days at altitude).

Reactiv Lenses

At Julbo, a Reactiv lens is the ultimate. The entire range of photochromic lenses features this technology. Thanks to their ability to automatically adapt to changing light conditions, they guarantee clear vision all day long, without the need to change lenses. In the mountains, where the weather can change very quickly from fog to bright sunshine, goggles fitted with Reactiv lenses are truly impressive.

Which Julbo Ski Goggles for Whiteout Days?

When the fog is so thick that it becomes very difficult to distinguish between clouds and snow, it's called a whiteout. This phenomenon, specific to the mountains, can be unpleasant for some people, sometimes causing a loss of balance, a potential feeling of dizziness, or even headaches. To avoid these issues caused by loss of visual cues, you need to gear up with bad weather ski goggles. Here are the Julbo models we recommend.

Goggles with Spectron 1 Lens

Goggles fitted with a category 1 Spectron lens are perfectly suited for foggy conditions. The light tint lets in more light, improving visibility in low-light situations.

Photochromic Lens Goggles

What sets Julbo photochromic ski goggles apart is their lens tint, which darkens and lightens depending on the amount of light they are exposed to. Here are the different types of 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 photochromic lenses are perfect for foggy mountain conditions. As soon as the fog lifts, their tint darkens as the sky clears and the sun comes out. The Reactiv 0-4 High Contrast lenses offer the widest range, as they can be worn from night to full daylight, even in the brightest mountain sun.

Reactiv Light Amplifier (category 1 to 3)

Goggle with a Reactiv 1-3 Light Amplifier lens are also excellent in low-light conditions, such as fog. It brightens and darkens, amplifies light, and enhances contrast, making it easier to read the terrain.

Reactiv Glare Control Polarized (category 1 to 3, 2 to 3, or 2 to 4)

Julbo’s Glare Control is a polarised lens specially designed for resort skiing. Its main advantage: exceptional versatility thanks to a high light transmission rate, ideal for whiteout, cloudy, or overcast weather. Unlike standard polarised filters, it allows for precise terrain reading even in low light, effectively reducing glare while maintaining excellent visibility. It is especially good at spotting icy patches, a real bonus for avoiding surprises on the slopes.

Which Julbo Goggles for Cloudy Weather on the Slopes?

Spectron 2 lenses are designed by Julbo to be perfectly suited for intermediate light levels, when the sun hides behind clouds and appears only intermittently as the clouds break. These are polycarbonate lenses, known for their lightness and durability. They filter 100% of UV rays, which are still present even when the sky is overcast.

And as you may already know or have learned from this content, the shade of photochromic lenses adapts to ambient light. The previously mentioned lenses (Reactiv 1-3 High Contrast, Reactiv 1-3 Light Amplifier, and Reactiv 1-3 Glare Control) are therefore perfectly suitable for overcast mountain weather. That’s the advantage of category 1 to 3 photochromic goggles, whose range covers most weather conditions encountered in the mountains.

Why Choose Julbo Men’s Ski Goggles?

Several criteria should be considered when choosing men’s ski goggles. But one thing is certain: by choosing a Julbo model, you are guaranteed quality gear that is highly protective and built to last.

The brand offers a wide range of goggles with Spectron lenses. The number one factor to consider when making your selection is the category (0, 1, 2, 3), determined by the weather conditions you’ll be facing.

Julbo wouldn’t be Julbo without its goggles with photochromic lenses. We mentioned them earlier. Their tint automatically adjusts to the amount of light they’re exposed to, providing optimal visibility in all conditions. This versatility is especially beneficial for freeriders and ski tourers heading out for the day. But it’s also great for alpine skiers, since even in the resort, the weather can change dramatically in just moments.

Comfort is another key factor. It’s essential. But with Julbo, all goggle frames are lined with double or triple-density foam. They also feature a ventilation system that prevents condensation from forming inside during intense activity.

Helmet compatibility is also important for full protection and perfect ergonomics. Whether you’re looking for style, comfort, or performance, Julbo goggles meet a wide range of needs for skiers and snowboarders, from beginners to experts.

Which Julbo Women’s Ski Goggles Should You Choose?

When it comes to 100% women’s ski goggles, Julbo offers an extensive range, so it’s important to know the different criteria to help you choose the best one for you.

Julbo’s women’s goggle frames are designed to fit female facial features. Their frames, tailored for narrower faces, include double or triple-layer foam for maximum comfort.

Just like for men, Julbo women’s goggles offer a wide array of lenses. There are Spectron and Reactiv photochromic lenses, which adapt to changing weather conditions, from thick fog to sunny days.

If you’re looking for goggles that combines comfort and style, Julbo’s women’s models will fit the bill. Available with spherical, cylindrical, or toric lenses, and in various colours, they are all compatible with a ski helmet for maximum protection and ergonomics.

Which Julbo Ski Goggles to Choose for a Child?

Among the children’s ski goggles we offer, Julbo models are excellent choices. They feature frames adapted for smaller faces, with double or triple-density foam around the edge. Nearly all of them are equipped with the Air Flow system, which prevents fogging inside. Their adjustable strap ensures a precise fit and keeps them perfectly stable on a ski helmet.

As for the lens, there’s the excellent Spectron 3, which provides outstanding full UV protection. Its category 3 rating is ideal when the sun is shining on the slopes and the light is relatively intense.

Just like with adult models, some Julbo children’s ski goggles are fitted with a Chromakids 2-3 photochromic lens that automatically adapts to ambient light, shifting from category 2 to 3, ensuring optimal vision whether the sky is partly cloudy or beautifully sunny.

OTG Goggles, Compatible with Prescription Glasses

If you wear prescription glasses, you’ll be pleased to know that Julbo offers compatible goggles. The Titan OTG goggles, best-sellers from the brand, fit perfectly over your glasses for optimal comfort.

How to Prevent Fogging in Your Julbo Ski Goggles?

All Julbo goggles feature discreet vents that limit fogging on the inner lens surface. This ensures optimal visibility throughout the day, whatever the conditions.

Double Lens and Anti-Fog Coating

Almost all Julbo goggles are fitted with a double lens, which helps prevent fogging on the inner surface, which itself is treated with an anti-fog coating. When cleaning your goggles, especially the inner lens surface, we recommend using a soft cloth, like the one you use for your sunglasses.

SuperFlow Pro Ventilation

Julbo has developed a unique system for even more effective fog prevention. Only certain goggles feature it: the Lightyear and Launcher models. This is the SuperFlow Pro ventilation system, which allows you to slightly move the lens away from the frame, creating enough space for air to circulate and preventing fog from forming inside. This is especially useful when you’re in a crowded gondola, sitting in the sun on a terrace, or during ski touring climbs.

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