The French company Julbo has been a leading player in the sports eyewear sector for over 130 years and has been a partner of the Groupama-FDJ, currently on the Tour with the young lenny martinez and the most experienced david gaudu e Stefan KungJulbo has just presented a new “flamboyant” capsule collection. It's called Blaze Series (where “blaze” means “flame”) and includes three of the brand's best-selling glasses.
The strong point of the collection are the new colours that characterise it: a combination of blue and red that aims to evoke Julbo's power, energy and passion for sport and athletes. In addition to aesthetics, the Blaze Series models also focus on something else. They are equipped with a new technical lens, the Julbo SPECTRON HD 3.
It is a category 3 high definition lens, which offers the visual comfort needed during long days of sports practice, accentuating contrasts to better react to terrain during the most demanding sports sessions. This lens was designed for trail running or cycling, as it makes it easier to identify different surfaces in different light conditions. For cyclists, for example, it helps them to more easily identify road signs and white lines on the road.Let's take a closer look at the three eyewear models that characterize the collection.
