Test: Julbo Fury - the speed goggles with shock absorber
The most important facts in brief
The Fury is available in 15 frame colors and many different lenses. The model tested is fitted with a Spectron 1 lens. It has a light transmission of 75 percent and is suitable for cloudy weather or when the sun is low in the sky. The lens is "floating" and only sits firmly in the frame on the center bridge and half of the lower edge. The Grip-Tech temples are made of a special material that is designed not to stick to hair. The shock-absorbing elastomer insert at the end of the temples provides additional comfort. The glasses weigh 25 grams and are therefore very light.
First impression
The large lens tapers towards the side, making it less bulky on the face. The reddish tint of the lens has a slightly color-enhancing effect and produces good contrasts. The build quality is high. The Fury is barely noticeable and sits snugly and securely on the head without pinching. The rather short temples do not come into conflict with any of the ten helmets tested.
In use
Made for speed? No matter how fast you speed down the mountain, there is no wind in any situation. Whether this is due to the floating lens or the good shape itself remains to be seen. Even though the lens is designed for use in low light intensity, it is also suitable for use in fine weather. Especially when open terrain often alternates with dark forest sections on tours. In damp weather conditions and high physical intensity, the goggles occasionally fog up slightly at the center bridge. But not so much that visibility is significantly impaired.
Conclusion
The Julbo Fury is one of those bike goggles that you can wear for hours without noticing any restrictions. The high-quality lens offers good contrast values and protects the eyes from fatigue caused by sunlight. No matter which body position you adopt on the bike, the Fury does not let any wind through. The shock-absorbing effect of the temples cannot really be confirmed, but the high level of comfort is.
Recommendation
If you have eyes that are sensitive to light, you should use these lenses as intended in cloudy weather and opt for a more tinted lens when the sun is shining.
