REACTIV PHOTOCHROMIC LENS FEATURES

WIDEST PHOTOCHROMIC RANGE

Julbo REACTIV lenses offer the widest photochromic range on the market. Our clear to dark lenses range from 87-12% Visible Light Transmission (VLT).

FASTEST REACTION TIME ON MARKET

It takes less than 30 seconds for Julbo's REACTIV lenses to change from their lightest to darkest tints, making them the fastest to react on the market.

NON-TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE

The photochromic technology is built into Julbo's REACTIV lenses, ensuring they are unaffected by changes in temperature and will only adjust to available light.

ANTI-FOG

Each REACTIV lens is treated with a long-lasting, scratch-resistant anti-fog coating. With proper care and washing, this coating will last for the lifetime of the lens.

How REACTIV Photochromic Tech Works

REACTIV photochromic lenses adapt faster and across a wider light range than anything else on the market, giving you crystal-clear vision from whiteouts to bluebird skies. Made from Trivex — the same material used in helicopter windshields — they deliver glass-like clarity with lightweight strength built for high-performance photochromic sunglasses and ski goggles.

With adaptive tech embedded in the lens, REACTIV never wears out, delivering season-after-season performance in any condition. Each lens takes nearly 20 hours to craft and is backed by a lifetime warranty, making it the ultimate choice for everything from skiing and mountaineering to cycling, running, and everyday outdoor adventures.

Why Use a REACTIV Lens?

REACTIV lenses take the guesswork out of any adventure, adapting instantly to shifting light whether you’re running through the trees, biking under clouds, or skiing in and out of the glades.

Mountain weather changes quickly — photochromic is perfect if you ski, bike, or hike through shifting light, clouds, and storms in the same day.

One lens works from dawn patrol to sunset laps, so you don’t have to carry extras.

Great for activities where you’re moving between sun and shade (tree runs, ridge lines, forest trails).

If you want one pair of goggles or sunglasses that does everything, photochromic is the most versatile solution.

Lenses react in seconds to shifting light, so your eyes never need to adjust — critical for high-speed descents or fast-changing terrain.

Which REACTIV Lens is Right For You?

Julbo has several unique REACTIV lenses available. Click through to find your ideal pair.

REACTIV 0-4/0-3 LENSES

Purpose: These are Julbo’s most adaptive lenses, designed to perform from total darkness to full sun. With the widest VLT range on the market, they transition seamlessly from night missions and pre-dawn starts to bright alpine summits — eliminating the need for multiple lenses.

Best For: Backcountry skiing, ski mountaineering, high-alpine climbing, long-distance cycling, ultra trail running, and multi-day expeditions where light conditions change drastically.

REACTIV 1-3 LENSES

Purpose: The most versatile all-around lens, REACTIV 1–3 has the quickest transition to shifting light from low to bright on the market, making it ideal for full-day missions without swapping eyewear. It balances reactivity, clarity, and comfort across a wide range of conditions. It also comes in our widest selection of colors.

Best For: All-day resort skiing, trail running, mountain biking, road cycling, and everyday outdoor use where conditions vary but don’t reach extreme ends of the spectrum.

REACTIV 2-4 LENSES

Purpose: Engineered for high-altitude, high-glare environments, REACTIV 2–4 delivers peak performance in intense sunlight. It darkens rapidly to protect your eyes while maintaining optical precision — perfect for those who spend most of their time above treeline or on reflective surfaces.

Best For: Glacier travel, mountaineering, high-altitude alpine missions, spring skiing, desert expeditions, and water-based adventures.

POLARIZED

Purpose: Polarized lenses eliminate harsh glare reflected off snow, water, rock, and pavement — giving you sharper vision, enhanced contrast, and reduced eye strain. By filtering out horizontal light waves, they cut visual “noise” so you can focus on what’s ahead.

Pair With REACTIV: Combine polarized tech with REACTIV photochromic for unmatched clarity and comfort as light and conditions change.

Best For: Water sports, alpine skiing, glacier travel, road cycling, paddling, mountaineering, and bright days on snow or water where glare is at its worst.

GLARE CONTROL

Purpose: Glare Control lenses fine-tune how light reaches your eyes, reducing brightness without overly darkening your view. This ensures crisp detail and visual comfort even under intense sunlight, extended exposure, or highly reflective terrain.

Pair With REACTIV: Glare Control adds another layer of precision to photochromic adaptation — maintaining consistent comfort across shifting light conditions.

Best For: High-altitude skiing and mountaineering, desert or alpine environments, glacier travel, and long summer missions where light intensity stays consistently high.

HIGH CONTRAST

Purpose: High Contrast lenses boost depth perception and definition by enhancing differences between light and shadow. This makes textures, terrain, and obstacles easier to read, even in mixed or flat light — so you react faster and move with more confidence.

Pair With REACTIV: Combining High Contrast with photochromic tech gives you the sharpest possible vision through every light transition — from dark forest to bright ridgeline.

Best For: Mountain biking, trail running, forested or variable-light skiing, technical alpine routes, and any environment where shadows and light are constantly changing.

LIGHT AMPLIFIER

Purpose: Light Amplifier lenses are designed to maximize available light, brightening your surroundings and improving clarity in low-light, cloudy, or stormy conditions. They enhance visibility without adding glare, keeping detail sharp when light is limited.

Pair With REACTIV: Pairing Light Amplifier with photochromic tech ensures seamless visibility from first light to nightfall — perfect for long missions that start or end in the dark.

Best For: Early-morning starts, dusk missions, storm skiing, night trail runs, and low-light alpine pushes.
