Julbo Edge Oversized Cycling Sunglasses Review - feat. Magnetic Lens System + REACTIV Lens
Developed specifically for cycling, the new Julbo Edge sunglasses offer an aggressive oversized lens design with a number of performance features. Julbo offers the sunglasses in a variety of variations from $ with a Spectron lens, $ with a REACTIV photochromic lens and a $ option that includes both lenses. The Julbo Edge are full frame sunglasses with a Base 5 curvature and a thin minimalist frame design. Grip Tech temples and nose pad provide soft and flexible contact points that can be easily adjusted for a perfect fit. One of the main features of the Edge is the new MagneFix magnetic lens attachment system which combines magnets with small hooks to make lens changes quick and easy.
The Julbo Edge sunglasses have an oversized design with sharp lines to create an aggressive profile. Julbo currently offers the sunglasses in six variations with standard Spectron lenses or REACTIV photochromic lenses. The frames all have a matte finish that include black, blue and the cool mint color we have here. Despite being a full frame design, the Edge has a sleek appearance with a lightweight and thin frame. Design wise the sunglasses have a similar silhouette to the Oakley Sutro with sharp lines and a curved base. Gaps at the edges of the frame and lens allow for venting to prevent the sunglasses from fogging up. The lens fully covers the frame, a design that’s similar to the POC Devour, which gives the sunglasses a frameless appearance.
With the higher priced variations of the Edge, Julbo even includes a spare clear Spectron 0 lens which can be used in low light conditions. Replacement lenses can be purchased separately but at $160 for the REACTIV lenses it’s important to pick the right one when you purchase. For this review we have the REACTIV 1-3 Light Amplifier lens which is a photochromic lens that can adjust the amount of light around it. Julbo’s REACTIV lenses are one of the best on the market and offer an impressive 17-75% VLT range which covers Cat. 1 to Cat. 3 filtering ranges. That the lenses adjust from nearly clear to a dark tint to handle low-visibility conditions or full sun automatically...
