Eye Wear and Sunglasses for Mountaineering
The 120-year-old Julbo brand is built from a rich history in alpine-mountaineering, high-altitude and glacier exploration optics. Long at the forefront of optical and action sports equipment, Julbo eyewear can take you to new heights, too.
Julbo has created the finest collection of mountaineering sunglasses for high altitude and extreme conditions. The new Bivouak boasts the world’s first magnetic sideshields; snap them into place when you need extra solar protection, snap them off when you don’t.
Choose from Julbo’s illustrious lenses, including the glass AltiArc, which allow as little as 4% of visible light to pass through the lens. Other mountaineering sunglasses feature photochromic, anti-fogging lenses that are tough as nails in an inhospitable environment. Choose Julbo goggles for full eye protection in howling wind and snow.
Why athletes recommend these Julbo sunglasses for mountaineering:
- Features such as removable sideshields and moldable temples
- Anti-fog coatings make sunglasses resist fogging
- Low rate of transmission of visible light
- Wrap-around lenses offer an extra-wide field of view and coverage
- Photochromic lenses darken or lighten depending on the light’s intensity

In the Press
Backpacker Magazine Fall/Winter 2009 Gear Guide spotlights the Bivouak: "...The polarized Camel lens has a filter that blocks a higher level of reflected UV, which eliminated glare and reduced eye strain on snowfields in Colorado's Zirkel Wilderness. And because the lenses are also photochromic (they darken in response to intense, high-altitude sunlight), testers rarely had to squint, even at 14,000 feet."
Inside Outdoor gives two thumbs up for the Bivouak.
Spokesman-Review selects the Julbo Dolgan sunglasses for adventures.
Skiing the Backcountry features the Gravit goggle.
Men's Journal included the Dolgan in a Geared Up section on climbing.
The American Alpine Institute awarded Julbo a “Guide’s Choice” Award, saying: "The professional guides of the institute see the Bivouak as the best product in its category because of its design, performance and durability. AAI guides love it because it’s strong and comfortable, but also so versatile."
