Julbo is a French eyewear brand specializing in technical performance sunglasses and goggles. Its aesthetic prioritizes functional protection for extreme environments, representing a subculture of mountaineering and high-altitude exploration.

History
Founded in 1888 by Jules Baud in the Jura region of France, the company initially produced protective eyewear for stonecutters. In the early 20th century, it developed the first "Cristallier" glasses for mountaineers searching for crystals in the Alps. This innovation established Julbo as a pioneer in glacier protection. The brand remains significant in fashion history for its contribution to technical outdoor gear and the evolution of specialized sports optics.
