Next up in our “Amazing Eyewear – Made in France” tour, is the performance eyewear brand Julbo. French to its core, with its roots in the Jura mountains, their founder Jules Baud (pronounced as Julbo) created his first eyewear for cristal miners in 1888, paving the way for one of the most iconic mountaineering and alpine eyewear brands in the market.
