Zebra Photochromic lenses adapt to changing light within 28 seconds. Category 4 protection, too!
Created specifically for climbers, bikers and hikers who cover alpine trails in varied light conditions, Julbo's Instinct Sunglasses feature Zebra Photochromic lenses that adapt to changing brightness faster than previous photochromic lens designs. While results vary according to specific brightness, the lens activation time can reach 50% capacity within 28 seconds, giving you plenty of protection from moderate light (category 2) to exceptionally bright conditions (category 4). By pairing the sporty Instinct frame with the Zebra Photochromic lenses, Julbo eliminates the need for an interchangeable lens design--and the hassles of swapping out lenses in the wilderness. The Instinct has a rugged and resilient architecture that holds your face with extra broad Rubber Tip XXL elastomers along the temples. A HCD Concept lens geometry gives you wrap coverage and exceptional UV protection without sacrificing optical clarity along your peripheral vision. If you're tired of carrying around three sets of tints for your interchangeable shades, Julbo's Instinct Sunglasses with Zebra Photochromic lenses could be the best solution you'll see this season.

Great Sunglasses
I usually never buy sunglasses without trying them! but I did this time and these sunglasses fit very well. They are VERY comfortable and also are very durable. Best sunglasses ever.

Great glasses
I bought these as a gift for my husband, a new cyclist. He has only worn them a few times, but loves how they help his eyes on the road and the fact that they wrap around.

good all around glasses
I like the fit and coverage on these. They've replaced some older Julbo glacier glasses I had that suffered b/c of blocked peripheral vision. They do a great job of blocking the wind while biking. The lenses are superb. It's been partly cloudy that past several days so I haven't had a chance to have them get extremely dark (~10% transmission), but they've performed well moving in and out of the sun. The best complement I can give the lenses is that I've often forgotten that I'm wearing them even when moving from bright sun to shade. Highly recommended.

Great Deal
They fit well on the face...I have a big nose so it is hard to find sunglasses that doesn't look ridiculous. These are great looking. Fit is great but not excellent. The fit at the ear is a bit high and tight...but hey we are all built differently! the lenses are awesome. wrap around is great and they don't look like some ridiculous Oakleys. They are great for bike riding...especially if you wear contacts (and ride in cold weather) keeps your eyes from drying out(main reason I bought them.) darkness transition is subtle and effective. they do steam up a bit on my face right at the corner on the lens at the bridge of the nose. I will maybe try them during a golf game.
