Julbo says
Julbo pushes the limits of performance with the tapered outline of its ULTIMATE sunglasses model. Each line and detail of this model's geometry are designed to serve one goal only: to give you ultimate freedom in your sport. New CustomFIT temples with precise and long-lasting adjustment, combined with a Grip Tech structure, produce a tailor-made grip and a lightweight spec. Fitted with a 3D Nose, the sunglasses offer flawless hold when you're working flat out, with or without a helmet. A panoramic lens creates an aggressive look while giving you protection and visual comfort thanks to REACTIV Photochromic lenses. Now it's your turn to push the limits!
Our Verdict
Julbo's Ultimate Spectron 3CF Sunglasses, are simple and tough, and have an excellent fit for high-intensity activity. The lens sits slightly away from your face, leaving plenty of room for ventilation while the arms wrap securely around your head. The rubberized finish is an excellent touch, and stops the glasses moving even slightly. The Rush features Julbo’s 3D Nose and Flex Temple technology, resulting in a pair of sunglasses that prove comfortable on a wide variety of head shapes.
The lens is a Category 3, a darker tint that is perfect for all conditions – a Category 4 is generally unnecessary for everything excepting glacier travel, whereas the 3 is the more well-rounded option, ideal for summer days in the alpine. The lens is polycarbonate and impact resistant, ensuring that these are glasses built to last. These are the CF lenses. CF stands for Colour Flash, and denotes a high-quality mirrored finish that is applied to the lens. There is no performance benefit associated with the mirrored finish, it’s purely for style.
