Equally at home on the hill or the high street — these bring clarity and comfort to fast-moving days in shifting light.

Blasting down a single track followed by lunch on the terrace? Same sunglasses, same style and same protection. Julbo has created RENEGADE, at home in daily life on any type of terrain. Its resolutely urban look disguises a keen appetite for adventure: incredible grip, wide angle of vision and REACTIV Photochromic lenses. The perfect model to accompany you on your next outdoor adventure!
Our Verdict
The Julbo Renegade Reactiv 1-3 Light Amplifier sunglasses strike a rare balance between performance and everyday wearability. The photochromic lenses adjust smoothly across a broad VLT range (17–75%), which I’ve found especially useful when moving in and out of woodland, or during early starts and late finishes. The high-contrast tint sharpens trail detail without dulling colours, and the lens reacts quickly enough that I haven’t needed to take them off, in changeable light
They’re very light at 29g, and the frame sits securely with minimal bounce, helped by grippy temples and a stable nose bridge. The curved shape offers decent coverage. However, if your face is on the narrower side, you might find the lenses sit a little lower than ideal — something to keep in mind for sweaty efforts. The anti-fog coating does its job well.
