"Julbo's new Zebra photochromic proprietary resin lenses work magic in low light, pointing up detail and contrast so much that you'll swear you're wearing high beams."—2006 Annual Outside Buyer's Guide
I've worn these glasses for 2 years (mainly for cycling). Perfect in low light conditions (early eve, rain) brightens everything up. Great eye facial coverage on the road. Perfect fit though I do have a small head. Not the most stylish - but good enough if you are looking for coverage and functionality.

Unfortunately, I have a series of complaints with the Julbo Instinct. It's not as stylish in my hand as it is on the web page - I hesitate to call it ugly, but my wife and I agree on this. Admittedly, these are my first photochromic sunglasses, yet I could not distinguish any change in light transmission based on ambient light conditions after either brief or prolonged exposures. Wearing the Instinct for longer than an hour hurt my ears - despite being advertised for a Large fit, the temples were too tight for my head (size 7 1/2 hat). Worst of all, the optics were distorted and actually made contrast and visibility worse in a variety lighting situations.
Sorry to return these sunglasses[...]!
