Julbo USA utilizes the most technical materials available in its products, including NXT, Glass, and Polycarbonate.

• NXT Lenses: This high technology lens possesses the optimum qualities for a plastic lens, thanks to a mineral-type manufacturing technique (poured at a very low temperature.) Its transparency and stability over time are exceptions - no cracking here! It is ultra-light, unbreakable and solvent-0proof. In addition, NXT enables pigments and films to be incorporated into the material (not just as a surface treatment), including light-sensitive treatments.
• Glass Lenses: Glass sunglass lenses are of superior optical quality, and highly resistant to scratches and bumps. These lenses are ideal for the desert and high altitudes, and places with bright sun. The various lens treatments (anti-reflection, flash, active darkening) allow them to eliminate parasite reflections and reinforce filtering.
