Widely suited to anything you throw at them – these are a versatile option for moving fast over long distances

Julbo says

Lightweight sunglasses specifically designed for women and runners with smaller faces, AEROLITE is directly derived from the AERO model, the reference for trail runners. It offers the same level of grip and ventilation, with a rimless lens for even more lightness and a tremendous feeling of freedom. With its Photochromic Reactiv lenses, AEROLITE is designed to go further in all conditions.

Our Verdict

Julbo’s Aerolite Spectron 3CF Sunglasses, are simple and tough, and have an excellent fit for high-intensity activity. The lens sits slightly away from your face, leaving plenty of room for ventilation while the arms wrap securely around your head. The rubberized finish is an excellent touch, and stops the glasses moving even slightly. The Rush features Julbo’s 3D Nose and Flex Temple technology, resulting in a pair of sunglasses that prove comfortable on a wide variety of head shapes.

The lens is a Category 3, a darker tint that is perfect for all conditions – a Category 4 is generally unnecessary for everything excepting glacier travel, whereas the 3 is the more well-rounded option, ideal for summer days in the alpine. The lens is polycarbonate and impact resistant, ensuring that these are glasses built to last. These are the CF lenses. CF stands for Colour Flash, and denotes a high-quality mirrored finish that is applied to the lens. There is no performance benefit associated with the mirrored finish, it’s purely for style.
