1950- VERMONT / THE FIRST GLACIER SUNGLASSES
Julbo revolutionized the market with the introduction of the “Vermont”, mountaineers could now ascend summits with proper eye protection. These «glacier» sunglasses marked the start of climbing’s glory years, as mountaineers set out to conquer the highest peaks in the world. Adopted by rock stars as well as climbers, they soon became a collector’s item.
1970- YANNICK SEIGNEUR / TECHNICAL ADVISOR
Julbo went much further than simply naming its products after famous summits such as Everest, Makalu and Annapurna. it developed and tested them by taking them up the 8000ers including Everest, Makalu, K2, Gasherbrum ii, Broad Peak and Nanga Parbat on the face of its technical adviser, yannick Seigneur.
1980- FLUO FUN / FASTER, HIGHER, WILDER
To mark the start of the «fluorescent fun» decade, mountaineers unchained their energy for achievements! Julbo supported the race to peak performance of these special advisers. For example, Éric Escoffi er climbed three 8000m peaks in less than three weeks in the Himalayas. And Patrick Gabarrou was famous for his little «outings», such as «Le voyage du Gab» with 7 north faces climbed in three days in the Mont Blanc massif.
2000- MULTIACTIVITY / A NEW WORLD FOR JULBO
In this multisport era Julbo attacked all fronts and all the elements. it supported Mike Horn on his incredible epic journeys around the world. On track and trail, following the explosion of outdoor sports such as trail running and mountain biking, if it was moving Julbo was there, with products perfectly adapted to each sport.
2010 RX TREM / PROVEN TECHNOLOGY
Julbo further strengthened its expertise with increasingly technical lenses (Zebra, Zebra Light, Octopus, Cameleon, Falcon) to meet every outdoor need.
