Julbo Faster L Kilian Jornet REACTIV – Ultralight rimless sports sunglasses
From low light to bright sun, rimless and almost weightless
Julbo Faster L Kilian Jornet REACTIV are ultralight sports sunglasses for trail running and mountain sports, where the light changes by the minute. The photochromic REACTIV 0–3 High Contrast lenses adapt to the conditions on their own – from the dim light of early morning to bright sun on the ridge – and at 19 grams with the rimless 3-Link construction you barely feel them on your face. The model was developed with Kilian Jornet, and its Light Blue Glacier colour draws on the Norwegian glaciers where Kilian lives and trains.
The essentials:
-
Photochromic REACTIV 0–3 High Contrast lenses (15–87 % light transmission)
-
Just 19 g and rimless 3-Link construction – sunglasses you forget you're wearing
-
Grip Tech temples and adjustable 3D Fit Nose Evo pads that hold on fast descents
-
Full anti-fog ventilation and a lifetime warranty on the photochromic coating
REACTIV 0–3 High Contrast: from low light to bright sun
A lens that changes with the light
REACTIV is Julbo's photochromic technology – the lens shifts its own tint depending on how much light there is. On an open ridge it darkens to category 3; at dawn or in dense forest it lightens to category 0 within seconds. One lens covers a whole day outside, from first light to harsh midday sun.
The High Contrast version has a tint that lifts terrain contrast – you pick out roots and rocks more clearly, especially on fast descents. The lenses filter 100 % of UVA and UVB, and the photochromic coating carries a lifetime warranty.

Developed with Kilian Jornet
The colour of Norwegian glaciers, built for demanding terrain
Faster L was created together with Kilian Jornet – one of the most versatile mountain athletes around today. The model is designed for real performance on terrain that leaves no room for error: from long trail races and uphill efforts to ski-touring and cross-country days in changing light.
The glacier-blue Light Blue Glacier colour is inspired by the shades of the Norwegian glaciers where Kilian lives, trains and explores the mountains. Faster, lighter and with a wider lens range than ever before.
Julbo Faster L – They won't move, even on a technical descent
A fit you can adjust
The Grip Tech temples have non-slip inserts that stay put through sweat and vibration – the glasses hold their place even on a fast, technical descent. The temples follow the shape of your head, and they're thin and flexible, so they sit comfortably under a helmet too; the inserts are built into the temples themselves so they don't catch your hair. You adjust the 3D Fit Nose Evo nose pads so the glasses sit exactly on your nose. The rimless 3-Link construction and full ventilation channel airflow across the lens to keep it from fogging. The wide panoramic lens also gives you an unobstructed view to the sides, so you read the terrain ahead more easily.
Julbo Faster L – Rimless construction and just 19 grams
Ultralight and from a renewable source
At just 19 grams with its rimless 3-Link construction, Faster L is among the lightest sports sunglasses in its class – on a long run you simply forget they're there. The frame is made of Rilsan, a bio-based plastic derived from the castor bean, so part of the construction comes from a renewable source rather than oil. Julbo is a French brand rooted in the Jura mountains that has been making mountain eyewear since 1888.

Julbo sorts its sunglasses by face size (narrower, medium, large), and Faster L is the larger version – built for a larger or wider adult face and a bigger head. The wider your face, the wider the frame you need so the glasses cover well and don't slip. If size M models press on your temples or feel narrow, Faster L will fit you better; if you're after a narrower frame, choose the smaller size.
