Julbo has been producing high-performance sunglasses & goggles for the outdoors since their founding in 1888 in the French Alps. With 6 technical lenses specially designed for different activities you’re sure to find perfect UV protection regardless of your outdoor pursuit. Photochromic, photochromic with polarisation, super-strong NXT construction, and anti-fog are just some of the technologies available on Julbo’s high performance lenses.
A key feature of Julbo lenses is the NXT technology. Originally developed for military helicopter windscreens, this NXT technology has been adopted by Julbo to create near unbreakable lenses. Tested to meet the impact requirements defined by the ANSI Z87.1 standard for industrial application, a standard thickness Julbo NXT lens will survive intact an impact of a 6mm steel ball traveling at 160km/hour!
Specifically, Julbo NXT lenses are in compliance with these paragraphs:
7.4.2.1.1 High Mass Impact
High impact spectacles shall be capable of resisting an impact from a pointed projectile weighing 500g (17.6oz) dropped from a height of 127cm (50.0in). The spectacles shall be tested in accordance with section 14.1. No piece shall be detached from the inner surface of any spectacle component and the lens shall be retained in the frame. In addition, the lens shall not fracture.
7.4.2.1.2 High Velocity Impact
High impact spectacles shall be capable of resisting impact from a 6.35mm (0.25in) diameter steel ball traveling at a velocity of 45.7m/s (150ft/s). The spectacles shall be tested in accordance with section 14.2. No contact with the eye of the headform is permitted as a result of impact. No piece shall be detached from the inner surface of any spectacle component and the lens shall be retained in the frame. In addition, the lens shall not fracture.
Cameleon Lens, predominantly designed for alpine, high altitude & mountaineering use. The Cameleon Lens provides high protection in extreme UV situations and is designed to provide excellent clarity of vision in snow and alpine terrain.
Zebra Lens, the most all-round Lens in the range, perfect for running, riding, and alpine use. With up to category 4 protection level the Zebra is appropriate for extreme UV conditions such as high-altitude and alpine use. The Zebra Lens is excellent for resort skiing and snowboarding. It is also great in situations when you’re moving from light to shade because of the extremely fast transition between category 2 and category 4.
Zebra Light Lens, perfect for running, mountain biking, cycling and other activities when your moving from bright sun to deep shade and back again.
Octopus Lens, predominantly designed for sailing, paddling, and other water sports and activities. Polarisation provides for excellent clarity of vision in bright, reflecting-light conditions, and with a hydrophilic coating on the outside the Octopus Lens sheds water quickly and efficiently for a clear view.
SnowTiger Lens, designed specifically for alpine use in the resort and backcountry. The SnowTiger Lens is a goggle specific lens.
Falcon Lens, designed for travel and day to day use.

This past month, Canberra’s trail running community came together at the Frith Road Substation in O’Connor for an action-packed night of testing, learning, and connecting. The Mont Trail Running Shoe Demo gave runners of all levels the chance to put the latest footwear from La Sportiva, On Running, Altra, and Hoka through their paces on a dedicated 1.2km trail loop that quickly became a Strava segment.
At Mont, we believe in supporting events that encourage people to embrace the natural world, challenge themselves, and connect with like-minded adventurers. Mont has been the sole sponsor of Kowen over the 6 years since its humble beginnings, providing flags, bollards, marquees and infrastructure, a market stall to provide the best trail gear, nutrition and mandatory kit. And donating incredible prizes, including Julbo’s newest, top of the line ultra-light glasses – Ultimate Cover Reactive 0-4. The lucky recipient being one of first in the country to own a pair.
In a world that moves fast, finding time for adventure can feel impossible. But what if the solution isn’t in grand expeditions, but in small, intentional escapes? Micro-adventures—overnight or short trips into nature—are the perfect way to reset your mind, recharge your body, and reconnect with the wild, all without taking time off work.
