Rough and ready Julbo Trail sunglasses are built for speed.

Getting outside means getting under the sun. Julbo has you covered with their “Trail” sunglasses. If you’re a high action outdoors adventurer, these shades are right up your alley. The Trail is made for it’s namesake—being out on the trail riding, hiking or running. The comfort and flexibility design eliminates nose pinching, temple digging and ear rubbing—annoying flaws of countless other shades you’ve worn. Julbo has a reputation for quality shades, and the Trail does Julbo proud. These sunglasses are as durable as they are lightweight and flexible. Weighing in at only 1 oz., you get the idea.

Highlights include:
• Lightweight: weighing in at just 1 oz., there is no argument here: the Julbo Trail is ideal for the speed you need while cycling or jogging.

• Grip and position: an elastomer insert at the temple gives a sturdy but gentle grip. The Trail also comes with an optionally attached thick elastic band that can be used for complete secure positioning.

• Comfort: Nose and temple areas are equipped with shock absorbers that make sure your only distractions are what lies ahead.

• Flexibility: Amazingly, Julbo is the only sunglass manufacturer selling flexible lens material in the outdoors market. These shades are nearly indestructible and can handle the toughest lengths of any trail.

• Panorama: The Trail wraps around all angles of vision for a completely protected wide view.

• Transition: The new Trail features a soft, flexible, photochromic lens made from NXT® that transitions automatically from a high contrast Category 2 to dark Category 4 in brighter light conditions.

If you are looking for a rough and ready pair of sunglasses that can handle any trail conditions (and being stuffed inside your pack or stepped on), take a closer look at the Julbo Trail. With three frame color choices, transitioning lenses and complete mask coverage, the Trail is made for speed and heavy use. Once you bust these out on a blazing bike ride or pounding run you’ll see what we mean.
