How to choose your trail running glasses?

Trail running is a demanding, enduring, and technical sport. Have the same expectations for all your equipment! Often mistakenly considered just a fashion accessory, sports sunglasses, beyond style, can be a real tool to aid performance during your mountain races. WE HELP YOU SEE A LITTLE CLEARER!

LIGHTWEIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN

One of the main criteria in choosing your sunglasses for trail running should be lightness. In our Fast & Light range, our frames weigh between 22g and 38g. The lighter the frame, the quicker you'll forget you're wearing it and can keep it on from start to finish. But to keep them on your nose throughout the race or during your training, your sunglass lenses must not alter your vision.

REACTIV PHOTOCHROMIC LENSES: NO MATTER THE WEATHER

Photochromic, progressive, adaptive, variable, changing… whatever the term used, the benefit for you remains the same: bring just one pair of sunglasses to handle all sunlight conditions (plain, underbrush) no matter the weather (sunny, cloudy, overcast, etc.)! Indeed, our REACTIV lenses react to UV light and activate upon contact. The stronger the sun, the darker the lens will become and vice versa; all in a very short time and without any action on your part! There are several ranges of protection categories (REACTIV 0-3 or REACTIV 1-3), just choose the one that best suits your needs.

VISUAL FATIGUE DURING EXERTION

During an intense sporting event, such as an ultra-trail, your eyes may experience significant strain due to the weather and your efforts. To optimize your performance during exertion, it is highly recommended to wear sunglasses. During an ultra-trail or ultra-marathon, you will face wind, sun, night conditions, and low temperatures, all of which add extra challenges to your effort. Low temperatures and strong winds can cause irritation through drying of the cornea, or even freezing. Your vision may also be impaired by the glare of the sun. These factors lead to a noticeable decrease in performance.

To counter these disadvantages, we have developed REACTIV 0-3 photochromic lenses that adapt to the brightness of both day and night. These glasses have been specifically developed for intense efforts and extreme conditions. The ocular coverage provides optimal comfort for your trail and marathon races. Extreme sports events require running day and night. With REACTIV 0-3 lenses, your eyes will be protected throughout the effort. You will no longer need to change glasses at the end of the day or early in the morning!

A TECHNICAL FRAME FOR MAINTENANCE IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES

What does technicality on a frame mean? It includes all the details that provide comfort and support. Whether it's the choice of materials to prevent slipping or the design of the temples, face, or nose, the technicality of the frame is an important criterion to consider. Our frames are designed for you to forget you're wearing them during exertion. They are lightweight, adaptable, slim, technical, and non-slip. They all feature slim, non-slip temples that can be worn under a hat, headband, or helmet. Trail running involves many jolts on the ground, so thanks to the non-slip temples, your glasses won't jump off your face with every step. And if the nose is adjustable, you're sure to enjoy the best support.

AN ANTI-FOG TREATMENT

Good sunglasses should allow you to stay focused on your goals and guide your movements. Therefore, it is essential to prevent any visual discomfort caused by sweat. Our REACTIV 0-3 and REACTIV 1-3 photochromic lenses have an anti-fog treatment on the inner surface.

YOUR VISION SHOULD NOT STOP YOU

For those who wear corrective glasses, you can also customize our models to your prescription. We have more than thirty of our models adaptable to prescription, manufactured in our laboratory in France. An exchange with your Julbo optician retailer is essential to confirm the feasibility. Discover through this article all the solutions that exist for eyeglass wearers.

In a nutshell, comfort is essential to help you stay focused on your goals, your stride, the elevation changes you face, and to prevent injuries by opting for sunglasses specially developed for your sport. Once you've made your selection, don't forget to try them on and make sure they don't slip off your face when you lower and gently shake your head. All that's left is to wish you a good race!
