Winter OR Round-Up: Julbo Vermont Mythics Sunglasses

www.julbousa.com
For three generations Julbo has been producing some of the best in mountaineering eyewear, and to celebrate its 15^th anniversary, the family-owned, Euro-based manufacturer will release limited-edition shades modeled after the ones that were originally used to hunt crystals in the Alps back in the late 1800s.  The special edition Vermont Mythics will be released, with leather shields, curved and wrapped temples, and all-glass lenses in a wonderfully retro cardboard boxes. This spring Julbo will also launch an online prescription program, offering custom performance eyewear with three lens technologies (the Zebra, Camel, and Falcon) in such models as the Bivouak, Explorer, Dirt, Pipeline, and Zulu, with prices that range from $400 to $600, with a two- to four-week turnaround. Sadly, the coveted Vermont Mythics will not be part of their Rx campaign.
