Julbo Dust Zebra Light glasses


JULBO’S PHOTOCHROMIC Zebra Light lens lets between eight and 80 per cent of the available light through, depending on the intensity of the sunlight, and the change is so speedy and seamless that it’s barely noticeable on the trail.

The Dust frame weighs a meagre 34g and, with ergonomic, pre-shaped arms and a comfy rubber gripper around the nose bridge, it’s a pleasure to wear. It’s pretty flexible, so it fits most head and helmet shapes well too.

Our test glasses have had some hard use over the past few months.With the wet and muddy winter and spring we’ve had, the light-brown lenses are pretty scratched now and the anti-fog coating has all but worn off, but they’re still our go-to glasses for trail riding in changeable conditions.

WHO IS SAM REYNOLDS? Hailing from South East England, Sam Reynolds is one of the UK's top freeriders, specialising in dirt jumping and slopestyle. But with mates like World Cup downhiller Brendan Fairclough, he also likes to get up to speed in the hills, where he's been introducing the Collosus to some colossal jumps, gaps and drops.

CANYON NERVE AL 8.0

  S ince their entry into the UK market a few years ago, Canyon have made a name for themselves as purveyors of well-made bikes that exhibit often extraordinary value. The secret (or catch, depending on your point of view) is that the brand don’t have dealers – they ship bikes directly to your door.

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

The fat aluminium tubes are a constrast to the skinny items seen elsewhere in the test, but this rigid Cannondale uses them to create one of the most old-school - and lightest - rides here.
