Julbo Renegade glasses

The full-frame design of the Renegades won’t be for everyone, but if you don’t find the bottom of the frame poking into your eyeline distracting, then we found they were a good fit and didn’t allow any light to leak in. Despite the lack of venting, the anti-fog coating stands up to both humid and cold slogs well, and the ‘Reactiv’ photochromic lenses transition from light to dark and back again quickly.

The lack of an adjustable nose bridge means you should try before you buy, but testers with a range of face shapes found them comfy. Grippers on the arms eliminate any slippage. Our only niggle is with the supplied case, which can be compressed, potentially damaging the glasses. While they’re pricey, the urban styling of the Renegades means you can wear them around town too and get more use out of them than you would a regular pair of riding glasses.

Price $165 (with Reactiv Zebra Light lenses)
