Reactiv Photochromic Lens Technology
Unrivaled optical quality, no matter the light conditions
Julbo’s REACTIV lenses offer the widest photochromic range and the fastest reaction time on the market, and Julbo has been developing and experimenting in the most demanding sports for more than 130 years.
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.
Julbo has seven unique REACTIV lenses, all of which are also available as part of our RX program.
- REACTIV LENS TECHNOLOGY -
Julbo REACTIV lenses are equipped with the most advanced photochromic technology, which makes them ideal for any activity.
Julbo makes a lens for every possible condition, with our REACTIV lenses offering the widest photochromic range on the market. Our clear to dark lenses range from 87-12% Visible Light Transmission (VLT) while our Performance lenses range from 35-7% VLT.
It takes about 20 seconds for Julbo's REACTIV lenses to change from their lightest to darkest tints, making them the fastest to react on the market.
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.
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.
- REACTIV LENS RANGE -
Julbo REACTIV lenses come in a variety of colors, and each lens provides a different range of Visible Light Transmission. That means there is a perfect lens for any condition.
- ADDITIONAL LENS FEATURES -
All Julbo lenses belong to optical class 1, guaranteeing protection from UV A, B and C rays, and are equipped with additional treatments and features to improve visual clarity and increase longevity.
