Outdoor Retailer words/images Judith Ecochard Eye protection is serious biz-we have a pal with melanoma in his dark brown left eye...geez---so while we always buy sunglasses for how they look-the technology has to be there-especially for outdoor sports. New to us at OR-was French brand Julbo® ---founded in 1888 in the mountains around Chamonix. Building on its heritage of performance/travel lines...Julbo showed many techy Zebra Light® photochromatic sunglasses- in protection categories 1-3 that are genius-ultra-clear when "unactivated"---darkens quickly-and works in low light conditions. Big enough lenses to offer full eye area protection too. Highlights: Julbo's Dust...lightweight...with a 'grippy' nosepiece good for sweat-inducing sports like running and cycling. also available with interchangeable lenses ($140-$170) Ultra $170...changes lense tone in secs- bendable lens technology reduces facial injuries...tough to break too ...
