Julbo

The Julbo brand is over a hundred years old! In 1888, Jules Baud, an optician from the Jura, launched his first spectacles in Morez, the cradle of French eyewear. The contraction of his name gave birth to the brand. In the early 20th century, the optician worked with crystal workers in Chamonix to design high-performance sunglasses to protect eyes in high-mountain environments. These creations marked the start of solar optics, and the production of the iconic Vermont glacier glasses built the brand’s reputation among alpinists. Over time, Julbo became a benchmark for many elite athletes as its product range expanded. Today, Julbo also offers ski goggles such as the Aerospace and Lightyear models, as well as ski helmets. Julbo is now a leader in the outdoor market thanks to its high-performance Reactiv photochromic lenses, NXT lenses, and Reactiv High Mountain screens (formerly Cameleon) which, in addition to being photochromic, are polarising. Close to top-level athletes, the brand supports disciplines from Nordic skiing to ski cross and freeride. To help you choose, we invite you to read our Julbo buying guides so you can pick the right photochromic ski goggles or the photochromic sunglasses best suited to your activity.

These technical glasses, which had long been sought after by professionals in the Chamonix region, offered a unique protection in the mountains at the time. Their secret: an additional side lens to prevent burns from oblique rays and their reflection on snow and ice.
