Williston, Vt. — April 19, 2019 — Julbo Eyewear, the premium French eyewear brand, with its US headquarters located in Vermont's Green Mountains, is excited to announce its exclusive eyewear partnership with Garmin Dirty Kanza, produced by Life Time.
"The Dirty Kanza is the ultimate bicycle challenge, and the rugged gravel roads around the Flint Hills of central Kansas are reminiscent of those surrounding our US headquarters in Vermont's Green Mountains," David Crothers US CEO says. "We're experienced with the challenges these kind of races demand and our REACTIV photochromic lenses offer the perfect solution."
The rough and remote gravel roads and demanding weather conditions of Kansas are perfectly suited for Julbo's REACTIV photochromic lenses. Julbo is dedicated to providing the best and most technical eyewear protection no matter the weather, and Dirty Kanza athletes require eye protection that crosses a spectrum of light conditions. With Julbo's REACTIV Photochromic lens options, riders are covered from dark to relentless sunny conditions without the need of ever swapping lenses. Julbo's REACTIV lenses offers the widest transition range and fastest reaction time of anything else on the market. Nothing else comes close.
This year Julbo, in partnership with Bicycle Express in Waterbury, Vermont, will be sending six riders to Dirty Kanza. "Julbo's photochromic lenses are perfect for the Dirty Kanza, as a large portion of the rider field will race and finish in the night. This partnership makes so much sense," says returning Dirty Kanza rider and pro cyclist Noah Tautfest. "The Dirty Kanza is truly one of the best experiences I've had on a bike. I competed in the Dirty Kanza on a whim last year but faced some mechanicals and flat tires. After strategizing this year I am excited to return to the worlds hardest gravel race."
