Zebra Photochromic Lenses: Ultra Reactive NXT®

The Zebra photochromic lens darkens or lightens depending on the light’s intensity. It can change from a light transmission rate of 40.7% to just 6.6%! Its anti-fog coating, directly integrated via laser, guarantees maximum efficiency and long life. Zebra is recommended for mountain biking, trail biking and climbing.

The Zebra lens has a very quick activation time: the lens reaches 50% of its capacity in just 28 seconds.

In the undergrowth, the Zebra lens changes to category 2. In bright sunlight, it provides category 4 protection.

Outside Magazine writes:

The photochromatic lenses are a delight in low light or even mist, with a pale yellowish tint that knifes through murk. But when the morning fog finally burns off, the Race's tint quickly darkens to a snow-and-ice-worthy shade of amber, blocking out an impressive 93 percent of available light. Depth, contrast, and acuity are great in all conditions, as is coverage from wrap-back lenses that keep frames completely out of sight. Climbers, snowmeisters, and cyclists will be smitten.
