VALLON was founded by two Swedish brothers with a deep passion for outdoor sports, and a shared vision to reinvent sports eyewear by merging classic design elements with high-performance functionality. This meant digging deep into sports history, borrowing inspiration from traditional high alpine designs to 70s surf documentaries, to create new and unique eyewear. After years of development and testing, VALLON has developed their proprietary V52® lens technology, providing the highest optical clarity of any performance sunglasses on the market.
