Julbo  Fury Sunglasses

Fit was comfortable, FoV good, but the lenses reflected and refracted heavily on the inside. Whether in low or high light, back-lit, side-lit, front-lit, cupping my hands over the lenses, nothing made a difference: the lenses themselves or colored reflections were constantly visible in front of my eyes, so much so that I wondered if there was a protective piece of film on the lens (there wasn’t). Cleaning did not help. Could not try other pairs in store to see if it was just the model or the Reactiv lens, so had to return. Most people review these glasses highly on the internet, but at least one other person complained of the same experience.

Wore them for the first time on the mountain hike today. Started out at 8am, it was still cloudy and grey out. Threw these on and enjoyed very little tinting but enhanced visibility due to the nature of high end sunglasses making everything look more colorful. The sun came out 30 min into my ride and the lens did it’s job and changed without me even being aware of it. I really have zero complaints with these. These are my first high end pair of sunglasses. I typically always wear regular sunglasses with black lenses. I love that I can wear the Fury’s in low light and sunny skies without having to take them off or swap lenses.

I use the Fury for backcountry skiing, ski mountaineering, trail and road running, mountain biking, and for everyday life. I like how well the sunglass "breathes" (doesn't fog) while also providing wraparound full sun protection for the eyes. I recommend these for low to mid elevation activities, not for higher altitudes. The spectron four lenses are better for higher altitudes, check out the Julbo Shields for that.

Way better than expected. I've been an Oakley snob for the better part of 25 years, so these were the first non-Oakley sports sunglasses I've bought in over two decades. I bought these for the anti fog and photochromic properties since I would be using them for mountain biking and under my motorcycle helmet. Let me tell you that I was blown away by their weight, function, and style. Miles ahead of my Oakley Kato, Sutro, Sutro S, Radar Path, EV Zero, Flak Jacket, Holbrook, or Holbrook R. I bought all of those Oakley sunglasses for different uses and this one pair replaced them all!

I’ve had these glasses for about a month now. I’ve used them for hiking, running, biking, and boating. They’ve been great for everything I’ve put them through so far. They’re comfortable, lightweight, and you can wear them for hours on end. They stay on my face really well even when I’m moving around a lot or bending over. Before finding these glasses, I had trouble finding any sport sunglasses that weren’t giant on my face (I’m a woman with a narrow face). These fit and look like they were made to fit a narrower face. The only downside I’ve discovered so far was that the lenses seemed to scratch fairly easily. But it doesn’t really affect their performance yet. All in all, I definitely recommend these!

I bought the REACTIV photochromic version of this product. I am primarily a road cyclist. The photochromic lens is quite nice and adjusts quickly to lighting conditions from dawn to dusk. I ride frequently the evening and they work well for that purpose. REI is not charging a premium at the moment for the photochromic option and that steered my decision. I have a couple of issues with these for road cycling that may ultimately cause me to return these. First - the plastic side piece is in your peripheral vision. I think that these would be better for mountain biking for that reason. Second - the reflections off of the inside of the lens can be distracting, especially when light is low.

I am very happy with these sunglasses. I've worn them during at least 4 bike rides so far, across varied weather conditions. They are light and comfortable and provide great protection from wind and sun. I haven't experienced the reflection issues mentioned in a few other reviews.

Great for morning rides where sunlight is minimal at the start and sunny for the end of the ride. Great field of view.

The reactive photochomatic model is excellent for MTB - I ride trails that go from full sun into the trees and I used to struggle with my existing glasses. I can now "see" in the trees. They have a wide field of view as well and provide good protection. Only a couple of small negatives. When cleaning the lens its easy to pop them out The case is pretty weak, the zipper on it broke after a while. Annoying for $240 glasses.

I use these glasses when riding my bike which is almost every day both in the USA and a Winter home in Mexico; they are really good for same. I had a pair of the same model for several years when one of the plastic “arms” broke. My guess is that the plastic is not UV resistant. However I think I got my moneys worth and have purchased new ones not knowing what else to buy.
