7 ReviewsJulbo Instinct Sunglasses (w/ Zebra Photochromatic Lenses)
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.
- Because of the Zebra Photochromic's category 4 protection, Julbo does not recommend these lenses for driving (lenses do not adapt quickly enough to light and shadow changes at highway speeds)
- Sporty high wrap shape for optimal peripheral coverage
- Extra broad Rubber Tip XXL elastomer at temples for exceptional grip even when wet
- HCD Concept lens geometry for wrap coverage with optical precision and minimal distortion
- Gun Metal Flash treatment technology mirror treatment absorbs little light for ocular clarity
- Zebra Photochromic lenses feature rapid progressive protection from category 2 to 4 (roughly a 60% to 92% visible light protection range)
- Activation time on Zebra Photochromic lenses typically reaches 50% capacity within 28 seconds
- Lens width: 62 mm.
- Moldable ear stem length: 135 mm.
- Nosebridge width: 18 mm.

Nicolas - 2009-05-12great sunglasses
great sunglasses for almost every sunlight and conditions
Jay - 2009-03-31Great 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.
Johnb - 2008-12-22Exceeded my expectations!!
Purchased these to use during recovery from cataract surgery. They are great under all outdoor & indoor conditions. I can also use them to drive in cloudy/low light and night with excellent results. Full sun need my Revos. Rate these shades excellent and a great value. Have recommended them and would buy again!

j - 2008-08-06great for biking!
so far so good. they fit right and since these adjust with the light they are great for most lighting situations.
Shaun McCamley - 2008-06-09They do what they say they will and are cool as well.
I love these glasses. So cool but also very comfortable and photochromic lenses do work well in grading according to the light. My wife bought a pair and after trying out hers, I had to have a pair.
Peter - 2008-04-13Great Performance
I only used these glasses less than a handful of times but I have a feeling they are going to be the only cycling glasses I am going to wear. They fit snug and perform well in changing light conditions, especially in low light.
The price is right, too. I wouldn't wear them while driving, however (note the manufacturers comment).

The glasses really helped out in the low flat light of Lake Louise Ski Resort. I found them very comfortable in bright sunny light and in very low light conditions.
