Review on ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ Performance Sunglasses: Julbo Aerospeed with REACTIV or Spectron Lens by Macaiah Arreola

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Sunglasses don't get dark enough

Pros: These goggles are lightweight (I usually forget they're on my face when I'm walking down the street) and with a little tweaking I can force it to do that they don't bounce when I run. Cons: I highly doubt these sunglasses will achieve the advertised category 3 darkness. Even in late sunlight (about an hour before sunset) I still squint my glasses. While my number one priority is blocking harmful UV light, walking comfort is pretty high and I'm afraid that sunglasses that let through that much light won't help me. Edit: After a few months of use, I'm upping my rating from 3 to 4 stars: running in the middle of the day in bright sunlight, the sunglasses end up darkening enough - it just lasts longer than I was hoping. Still doesn't seem to be as effective when the sun is lower in the sky.

Pros
  • Anti-fog coating
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
