When skiing, good vision allows you to anticipate many dangerous situations. However, it's not always possible to avoid them and then it's essential to be fully protected.In 2005, at the request of its athletes, Julbo developed its own range of helmets.

Delighted by the brand's goggles, they wanted a helmet that would both meet their requirements and was perfectly adapted to their sport.Julbo has worked consistently to offer helmets that perform even better, have an improved finish and offer more protection.

Julbo has developed high-performance and innovative technologies to meet their expectations.

3 // Hybrid II technologieThis technology has been developed with the aim of reducing helmet weight while guaranteeing total protection and comfort.

3 // Connect technologyThis technology was developed as a result of a simple observation: Using a mobile phone with a helmet is no easy matter.Julbo has therefore developed optimized on-board technology for its Symbios helmet so that wearers can make phone calls and listen to music.

Significant ergonomic changes were made so that it can be used wearing gloves and mittens.

A Bluetooth connection was chosen as it consumes little energy. The technology gives you a super-easy way of listening to your favourite track or answering your calls.

impact.

3 // Helmet with visorIntegration of a visor was designed for people who don't like wearing goggles.This visor is less oppressive than goggles while offering excellent protection from the sun's rays thanks to good coverage of the face.The technology has also been designed for wearers of prescription glasses. The flip-up system gives them direct access to their frames and good venting prevents any fogging of optical lenses.

Great care has been taken with the visual appearance of the visor, resulting in a fluid design and good integration on the helmet.
