VALLON, a brand known for creating leading performance eyewear with classic style for the modern-day adventurer, is proud to announce the launch of its latest sunglasses model, the ‘Daytrippers’.
Inspired by iconic eyewear of yesteryear and their deep passion for outdoor sports, VALLON was founded by two Swedish brothers with a shared vision to reinvent sports eyewear.

Combining resilience, protection, sustainability, and innovation, we strive to make the most unique, fair-priced, and best looking eyewear for outdoor enthusiasts. Cleaning up plastic waste with every pair sold.

A classic shape with universal appeal, the Daytrippers hark back to the trapezoidal shape of Wayfarers popularized back in the swinging 60s, but bring it firmly into the present with VALLON’s leading V52 polarized sports optics, a modern fit, detachable sports headstrap, and elegant acetate frame.
The Daytrippers are an all-in-one eyewear solution for those who are constantly on the go between mountains, coast, and city. Designed for city slicking, and outdoor pursuits, in the same stride. A fusion between the timeless cool of a silhouette worn by The Beatles, Muhammed Ali, and the Blues Brothers; and the durability demands of today’s adventurers who seek best-in-class optics, UV protection, and a premium product.
“With the Daytrippers, we wanted to capture the spirit of the 60s and build it into a frame that could handle the ins and outs of everyday adventures,” said Richard Franck, co-founder of VALLON. “This is a classic style without compromise."Available in three distinct colorways — Black, Dark Tortoise, and Sage, the Daytrippers are equipped with polarized Category 3 (12-15% VLT) lenses for optimal glare reduction, contrast, and sun protection in bright light.
Each pair comes complete with a detachable sports headstrap that can be used to provide a secure fit during high-intensity activity, a premium leather pouch, and microfiber cloth.
Daytrippers are now available at vallon.com, and select specialty retailers. Explore with confidence and style this summer, with VALLON.
