Julbo REACTIV Photochromic lens technology

REACTIV PHOTOCHROMIC LENS TECHNOLOGY

Unrivaled Optical Quality, No Matter The Light Conditions

Julbo has seven unique REACTIV lenses available. These REACTIV lenses offer the widest photochromic range and the fastest reaction time on the market.


Each lens takes nearly 20 hours to make and is casted from Trivex, a material used in helicopter windshields. That means the optical quality is nearly as good as glass and far superior to the polycarbonate lenses that most other brands use. It’s also why our REACTIV photochromic technology never wears off, meaning we can back our lenses with a lifetime warranty.

SEE THE REACTIV DIFFERENCE

Photochromic lenses automatically lighten or darken depending on the amount of UV light. The more UV light present, the darker the lenses will become, protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays and providing crystal-clear visibility no matter the light conditions.
