Eye Wear and Sunglasses for Sailing
Fast tacks, bright sun reflecting off the water and sails, spray from the waves, and weather that changes at a moment's notice. Sailors deal with these conditions when they are out on the water, and they require eye wear that can handle the challenge.
That's where Julbo's sailing sunglasses come in. Julbo sunglasses are known far and wide for their lens quality—all so important when you are on the water.
As the name suggests, Julbo's Octopus® lens was made for the water environment. Photochromic and polarizing, the Octopus® lens darkens and lightens according to the intensity of the light, provides anti-dazzle protection and high-definition vision. The water-shedding hydrophobic coating is ideal for sailing and other water sports.
Come find out why sailors in Europe have come to rely on Julbo for high-performance sunglasses for sailing.
Why athletes recommend these Julbo sunglasses for sailing:

Boating Life featured the Sail sunglasses, saying, "The photochromic lens actually changes depending on the amount of light around — it even repels water."
Outside magazine's Buyers Guide touted the Sail: "Not only did the Octopus lens stay streak-free on a drenching Class IV rapid; it actually repelled water."
Her Sports also recommended Sail for high-performance lenses that don't streak when they are wet.
