Shelby Farrell's review
Huge fan of Julbo’s Reactiv lenses. They just make sense. I have mine in prescription, which was a game changer, especially during those dusk and dawn hours on trail when the light gets flat and it’s way harder (for me at least) to pick out rocks and roots. I made a point to get them before the 2025 Cocodona 250 and ended up wearing them nonstop. What surprised me most was how much less fatigued my eyes felt over time. I think that translated into me staying more awake, alert, and honestly just more “in it” throughout such a long race. They’ve definitely earned a permanent spot in my kit.

What other hosts are saying
3 experts recommend the Julbo Fury Sunglasses.
Eye protection is important, but light conditions can be annoying. These are a great pair of reactive lenses. They are good in low light to moderate light so you can keep your eyes protected across a wide range of light conditions. I even wear mine in the dark.
