Julbo Instinct Sunglass - Zebra Anti-fog Lens

The Julbo Instinct Sunglasses use Zebra photochromic lenses to instantly adapt to the ever-changing lighting conditions in the mountains. They automatically adjust from 59% to 88% light reduction to help you see clearly when you step out of the shadow and into the sun on a knife-edge mountain ridge. Their wrap-around design and long padded arms keep the Instinct Sunglasses in place for fast moving sports like mountain biking and trail running, as well as high-mountain endeavors.

Bottom Line: Julbo Instinct Sunglasses provide optimal lighting conditions to follow your natural drive in the mountains.

Julbo Photochromic

By:
June 2, 2008

The technology seems to work.

Used to have a pair of Oakleys that I used cycling, found that they were just too dark to see well in the trees.

These Julbo's do seem to adjust when you enter the shade from the bright light.

Haven't used them for skiing yet, but they're just not as dark as the Oakleys were, so the bright light off the snow could be an issue.

Works for me

By:

The shade change is very fast, and is working well on snow to shade and back, very easy on my old eyes. Light transmittal seems about perfect. Optical clarity is excellent, with no distortion.
These glasses are very resistant to fogging, and under some pretty extreme temperature changes; best I have experienced.
They are also light and comfortable to wear.
I like the larger size of these glasses, the side protection is very good and blocks excess light even on open snow(these are ANSI approved for all you working folk).

Does any one know if the lenses on the Instinct Zebra anti-fog

Does any one know if the lenses on the Instinct Zebra anti-fog are removable? I lost my old Instincts that had replaceable lenses, and still have the old lenses. These are very good sunglasses.

Great fit + Very good contrast

By:
January 22, 2007

I was looking for ski glasses that would give me good late-day/flat-light contrast -- these really work well for flat light situations (and they darken for bright conditions). Nearly complete wraparound for medium sized face means good wind protection. No problem with fogging either.

Great shades

These are great glasses. Great when going from sun to shady areas. Wish they performed a little better in bright sun.

These are not guaranteed for anything. They are going to be an awesome pair of sunglasses though. The lens is going to change accordingly to the light. If you ever had a problem with these sunglasses ... scratched them, cracked them , or broke them. You can return them to Backcountry at any point. Tomorrow or in 30 years.

Bigger than I thought

By:
September 13, 2007

I live 2 hours from any Julbo dealer but have owned their products and know of the quality so when I broke my first pair I automatically went back. I ordered these and loved the lenses but the frames were bigger than I liked and so I exchanged them for a different model (the typhoon). I will always use julbo, nothing compares, these just weren't my size.

Julbo Instinct Sunglasses

By: Backcountry.com Employee
November 1, 2006

At first these things sounded like a gimmick, but I am really impressed at how well they perform. The anti-fog coating keeps them from getting all steamed up on bike rides (like the Reflex glasses do). The stems are more comfortable than the Reflex sunglasses as well. The color-changing lenses do such a good job that I often forget they’re on and get strange looks when I wear them inside. They don’t get quite dark enough to be used on high-altitude climbs, but my eyes seems to be more sensitive than most.
