First things first, let’s talk about the 3D Nose Fit. The Aerospeed has these special nose-pads on it that adjust in every direction – meaning the glasses fit every type of nose shape, something that ensures unbeatable hold in all conditions and situations.

The Air Link Temple system is an elastomer shock absorber insert that’s fitted at the end of the temple. It makes the glasses lighter, and generally more comfortable.

When you’re getting active for hours on end, you’ll be grateful for the fact that the Aerospeed is well vented. The vents have been implemented here in a way that allows for full circulation of air. This design will, ultimately, stop the lenses fogging up.

The wide lens surface on the Aerospeed means you’ll have maximum field of vision. Great for seeing obstacles, as well as all those nice mountain vistas.

Reactiv Photochromic Lenses

Reactiv Photochromic Lenses are good because they intelligently adjust along with the changing conditions you’ll inevitably get in the world’s wild places – great if you’re taking part in an all-day endurance event then.

The Reactiv lenses get darker or lighter to match changing light conditions. Whatever the weather is doing, with these on your face Julbo guarantees optimum vision and long-lasting protection for your eyes.

Conclusion

These are slightly cheaper than the also excellent Oakley Radar EVs. That’s not to say you shouldn’t consider those ones, they’re very good and pack some clever tech, but that could be a useful saving here.

Tester’s Verdict

Jordan Tiernan, Outdoors Magic Staff Writer

“From the get go, I noticed the (lack of) weight of the Aerospeed. You barely feel these sunnies on your face. And thanks to Julbo’s efforts to keep them on your face, you barely have to worry about the sunglasses slipping, or even falling off once they’re on.

“I’ve used Julbo’s ‘Reactiv’ technology over the past few years (both in sunglasses and goggles) and have been left impressed with the consistent high standard of vision the adaptable lenses are able to provide – no matter if you’re in the shade, or exposed to strong sunlight when up high in the alpine.

“In terms of ventilation, the Aerospeed performs well in keeping any dreaded fog at bay; particularly if you’re consistently moving fast, generating high air flow. I only noticed a slight bit of fogging after a high-intensity run. Once I’d stopped (and sweat began to build up), these things began to show a slight bit of fogging on the corner of the lens. Other than that, I’ve been left extremely impressed with the Julbo Aerospeed as a pair of sunglasses for all kinds of endurance sports.”
