Unlike an adult, the child's crystalline lens contains hardly any protective pigments. It is completely transparent with a very large pupil The eye thus receives a very large amount of harmful solar rays. The eye only benefits from its full protection potential after the age of 25! Unprotected exposure to solar rays thus cuts into the eye's capital and may cause irreversible lesions of ocular tissue. Impeccable and permanent protection of children's eyes is thus more than essential message to be conveyed but rather a genuine public health challenge. An expert in solar protection in extreme environments, Julbo has always dedicated the best of its top protection lenses for children with highwrap frames suited to their face and head shape.
Eco Friendly Designs:
RILSAN®, a high performance substainable and bio-based polymer, used on over 75% of our sunglasses.JULBO has been using this advanced material for several years because of its environmental qualities and technical benefits.

Julbo Lens Color Description
All Julbo lenses belong to optical class 1 and guarantee 100% protection against UVA, B and C.
Special treatments: Julbo is an expert in solar protection for high -risk environments and develops highly specific treatments for each condition of use.
- Anti-fog: Applied by laser on the inside of the lens to guarantee maximum life. This same technology is used on helmet visors for grand prix racing.
- Anti-Reflection: Increase optical comfort and eliminates parasitic reflections.
- Brown Out: Gives enhanced filtration of visible light.
- Flash: Increases visible light filtering through a mirror effect on the lens.
- Hydrophobic: Causes water to slip off the lens. The treatment prevents the creation of hydrogen links between water molecules. Visibility is enhanced.
Protection Classes (CE standards)
| Protection or category index | % of visible light transmitted | Tips for use |
| 0 | 80% to 100% | cloudy days |
| 1 | 43% to 80% | partly sunny days |
| 2 | 18% to 43% | sunny days |
| 3 | 8% to 18% | high altitude/bright days |
| 4 | 3% to 8% | high altitude/bright days--cannot be used driving--too dark and is not safe |
Lens Materials:
- ARC Mineral: Recommended for deserts and mountaineering. Glass. Excellent quality optics, scratch resistance, extra infrared protection. Additional treatment to provide more impact resistance.
- Spectron Polycarbonate: Recommended for all sports. Shock resistant and lightweight. Anti-scratch surface treatment.
- NXT: High definition vision, superior optical quality, optimum transparency; light and unbreakable; lasting strength and resistance to solvents. Made using low-temperature casting techniques which reduce internal stress in the material, this improves optical quality, gives excellent transparency, and increases long-term stability. NXT lenses were developed for the US Army. 3 high technology NXT lenses:
- Polar + : High precision polarizing lens with anti-reflection. This lens optimizes the view, cutting out distortion, and eliminating dazzling sun glints from all reflective surfaces.
- Zebra: Photochromic lens. Wide amplitude in categories 2 to 4 with fast activation speed (22 to 28 seconds). Anti-fog treatment. The glass darkens or lightens as the surrounding brightness changes (from 40.7% to 6.6% of the visible light transmission rate depending on luminous intensity). Recommended for mountain biking, trails and climbing.
- Cameleon: Photochromic and polarizing, dual technologies. Progressive protection in categories 3 to 4. Anti-glare, high definition polarizing lens which darkens or lightens as the brightness changes. Recommended for water sports and mountaineering.

Julbo Prescription Information:
Julbo prescription lenses 3 ways:
Direct In with Cutouts:
For shields, the there are cut outs in the shield to allow for a prescription lens for each eye. Allows for higher prescription ranges. Can see the outline of where the prescription is, but matches the lens as close as possible with Julbo's proprietary lens technology like Reactiv and Spectron lenses.
