Our Verdict
Julbo's Ultimate Cover Reactiv Performance 1-3 LAF Sunglasse are at the top of the class in terms of performance, weight, coverage and protection. The ultra lightweight design and solid hold make them versatile enough for a wide range of activities. The wide field of vision combined with a Reactiv lens means that changeable conditions are not a problem. They work perfectly for running, riding or simply walking when you want the best possible sunglasses available.
These come with Reactiv Performance 1-3 lenses which cover Cat. 1 through to Cat 3. levels of protection. The versatility of these reactiv photochromic lenses are the highest performance for anyone who needs glasses able to cope with everyday conditions right up the use in the mountains. The lenses appear light and bright which makes you question the level of protection when you first wear them compared to a simple Cat. 3 lens but they are certainly up to the task and work well in any conditions.
