Julbo lenses

Mountains and innovation have been synonymous with Julbo since the company was founded 125 years ago.

Offering high-performance, technical sunglasses for mountain lovers, Julbo has naturally incorporated all its expertise into its goggles to create the best-performing products possible.

Good vision is essential when sports combine speed with variable light levels, and Julbo offers a range of technologies specially adapted to practising winter sports.

A product that adapts to changing conditions in the mountains

• Weather conditions in the mountains change very quickly.• Light conditions in the mountains change significantly over the

day (particularly in the first months of the year).• A slope will have very different light levels depending on its

exposure. • Light conditions change over the season (winter skiing / spring

skiing).

Why use a photochromic lens rather than an interchangeable lens?

• Reactivity: conditions change quickly, but changing a lens takes time and you can't change your lens for each descent

• Practicality: you always need to have your second lens with you and take off gear to change it.

• Simplicity: changing a lens isn't simple, even with the most sophisticated systems.

• Adaptability: there is no single lens for every light condition.

Photochromic technology: One lens is all I need

70% of the information we process to guide our movements is visual. Ski goggles are therefore a tool that can really enhance performance. To allow every individual to ski comfortably in all situations, Julbo has developed the best photochromic technology on the market, guaranteeing high performance whatever the conditions. When you’re looking for the very best in vision, light-sensitive technology is a must.And when you want the best in light-sensitive technology, there’s only one name: Julbo.

Photochromic technology: Julbo solutionsJulbo photochromic technology means:

• The widest range of protection to deal with any situation• The greatest protection for extreme conditions• The lightest lens for coping with bad weather• The greatest reactivity for adapting to changes in light• Excellent optical quality• A lifetime coating guarantee, thanks to the materials

used

NXT technology

Julbo uses high-tech NXT lenses. NXT is made from Trivex, the most effective material on the optics market, combining the advantages of mineral and organic materials, in other words:

- an optical quality close to that of mineral glass- crystal clear images- high resistance- extreme lightness

NXT is produced by casting at moderate temperature rather than by injection molding, giving superior mechanical and optical properties over other materials.

NXT technology

Use of NXT allows:

• Self-colored photochromic treatment which offers better resistance

• A fast photochromic response to a wide variety of light conditions

• Excellent durability and coatings with a lifetime guarantee

• Application of an external oil-repellent coating prevents finger marks and facilitates the dispersal of water droplets and snowflakes

• Application of an internal anti-fog coating.

It provides the most effective protection and best comfort in the sun by operating on the principle of Venetian blinds=> light only enters the eye along 1 axis.It protects from glare by cutting out rays of light reflecting off a flat / horizontal surface (water, snow, windscreen, etc.)It intensifies colors and improves contrast and relief.Available on lenses: Cameleon and Polarized 3

Using our expertise validated by experience in the fi eld, we have developed a range of technical lenses superbly adapted to the needs of each type of user, regardless of the conditions encountered. With photochromic technology, polarization and tints, these lenses have demonstrated their excellence both on the slopes and in the lab. With Zebra, Zebra Light, Cameleon and the new Snow Tiger, everyone can benefi t from the very best technology and the greatest comfort when practising their sport.

NXT lenses: 4 advanced technologies

Zebra: from shade to light

• Photochromic category 2 to 4• Activation speed: changes from

category 2 to 4 in 22 seconds• Gold tint: excellent light

receptivity and protection

Zebra Light: all weathers, all conditions

• Photochromic category 1 to 3• Wide range of use• Yellow tint: increased light

receptivity

Cameleon: from one extreme to the other

• Photochromic category 2 to 4• Polarized: eliminates glare for

better reading of relief• Brown tint: protection and

contrast enhancement

Snow Tiger: excellent visual comfort

• Photochromic category 2 to 3• Glare Control filter• Orange tint: improved contrast• Fire multilayer coating

Polycarbonate lenses are created by injecting high-temperature plastic into a mold. A rapid process (molding time of just a few seconds) which produces impact-resistant lenses of good optical quality. Currently the most widely used technology on the market.

Original material used for ski goggle lenses, acetate lenses are made up of overlaid, compressed sheets of acetate to produce the thickness required (lamination process). The sheet acetate obtained is flexible and easy to cut and shape. Optical quality is good.
