Julbo

Founded by Jules Baud, the French brand Julbo was established in 1888. Although it was initially engaged in the production of corrective eyewear, it was not long before it specialized in the manufacture of sunglasses, resulting in the release of the first eyewear to protect against the sun's harmful rays in the early 20th century. Products from Julbo are characterized by the highest quality workmanship. The first models of glasses, such as Julbo Criastalliers and Vermont, were created at the request of mineral prospectors who needed effective eye protection. Thus, specialized sunglasses were born, which were perfect for mountain expeditions.

The greatest development of the brand occurred in the 1950s and 1960s. It was then that interest in high mountain climbing significantly increased, and many professionals began to set their sights on climbing the highest peaks of the Karakorum. Julbo perfectly responded to the existing needs of the public and began producing sunglasses on a global scale, undertaking collaborations with many Himalayan climbers, including Yannick Seigneur. This is how the brand began to gain more and more customers, and its products appeared on Mont Blanc, Nanga Parbat, K2 and Broad Peak.

Over the years, the manufacturer Julbo has significantly expanded its range and also introduced specialized sunglasses for sailing in the Nautic series with a streamlined shape and other lens colors. In addition, the company also has eyewear for the youngest users that meet high standards of eye protection, as well as modern ski goggles and even ski helmets. Today, the Julbo brand is one of the leading brands that specializes in sunglasses, and its products are used all over the world by athletes of various sports.
