Bollé Sunglasses and Eyewear History
Bollé have been making premium quality sunglasses, ski goggles, safety eyewear, military and tactical eyewear since 1888 from the finest frame and
lens materials in their own factory.
Bollé delivers the highest quality sunglasses for performance and protection and as you would expect, Bollé are constantly refining their trademark
combination of fit, fashion and comfort, resulting in some of the freshest and most technologically advanced eyewear in the industry.
Performance Innovations
Lightweight, shatterproof lenses
Flexible, virtually indestructible Hydralon™ frames
Advanced, sport-specific lens technology
Bollé designers have teamed up with leading professional athletes to create new sports-specific eyewear that can enhance performance whilst
offering superior protection. Bollé eyewear is the ultimate union of function and fashion for world-class athletes and weekend warriors alike.
Design refinements built into Bollé ski goggles are the product of years of performance testing using the French Alps as a lab.
The award-winning, patented Competivision™ is the first and only tennis sunglass to highlight optic yellow while providing 100% UVA and UVB
protection, allowing players to see the ball better.
Frame Technology
Over 100 years of sports eyewear innovation is seamlessly integrated into every pair of Bollé sunglasses. Accept no substitutes for the fit, form and
function of authentic performance technology.
Dual Composition Frame
Nylon elements are fused to a metal frame, increasing impact absorption and giving the new metals collection a distinctly Bollé look. Resulting in
increased comfort, durability and fit over traditional metals.
Hydralon™ Frames
Bollé's proprietary hydrated memory nylon is the industry's most durable material, virtually unbreakable with memory that returns to its original shape.
Providing a lightweight fit for unmatched comfort during any activity.
Thermo-Grip™ Temples and Nose Pads
You get active, but Bollé's Thermo-Grip is hydrophilic, which means the more you sweat, the more adhesion it delivers.
Absorber Hinges
The more active you are, the more your eyewear gets jostled. Bollé's rubber flex hinge reacts to absorb the shock and provides a more comfortable
fit. Plus it gives you a coolness factor of bumpers for your shades.
Spring Hinges
Bolle's spring hinges make their glasses easier for you to put on and take off, and allow for an extra margin of durability, while providing increased
comfort and a customized fit.
Air Flow Temples
For any activity where you really heat it up, this unique venting system incorporated into the temple design provides additional anti-fog capability.
The specially designed temple opens to create a side vent that pulls air from behind the lens to reduce fogging.
Wire Core Temples
Everyone's face is different, so your fit needs to be as individual as you are. Bollé's wire core temples can be adjusted to find the perfect custom
form fit every time
Lens Technology
100% UVA/UVB Protection
The same rays that burn the skin also cause long-term degenerative damage to the eyes such as macular degeneration, cataracts and ptergium.
Bollé not only protects against UVA and UVB, but also UVC, a harmful ray that doesn't even reach earth. That's why NASA has made Bollé the
eyewear of choice for NASA shuttle missions.
Polycarbonate (PC) Lenses
This durable, virtually unbreakable material is safe to wear in active pursuits. It is 20 times more impact resistant than glass and 3 times lighter. Optically correct, PC lenses offer clear, distortion free vision, extends wearing time and reduces eye strain and headaches. All PC lenses come with
an anti-scratch coating and 100% UV protection manufactured into the lenses.
Polarization
Glare is an ugly word. Almost as ugly as what it does to your vision by reducing contrast and visual acuity. But Bollé's polarized Sandstone, Cactus
and TNS Grey lenses selectively absorb the light traveling in every direction except the vertical plane to eliminate glare without the reduction in
vision caused by a too-dark lens. As a plus, Bollé's unique tints actually increase contrast for better perception.
PC Polarized Cactus™ Lens
The perfect polarized driving lens in molded 6 and 8 base polycarbonate with 99% polarization. Grey/Green, high-contrast lens that yields true colour.
Gold Flash gradient coating reflects more light at the top of lens where the sun's intensity is greatest.
PC Polarized Sandstone™ Lens
Sandstone, from the mountains of Colorado, is a very high contrast lens that yields reasonably true color. AR coating removes backside glare and
the molded 6 and 8 base polarization removes the reflected glare from water, sand, snow and roads without compromising the transmission of light.
Polarized Sandstone™ Gold Lens with AR
For extreme light management this optical-quality PC Polarized Sandstone Gold lens cuts glare from all angles. Anti-reflective (AR) coating removes
bounce-back images. Gold Flash coating further reduces reflective glare from water, ice, snow and sand.
Gold Top Gradient Coating
Bollé new Top Gradient, Gold coating is denser at the top where the sun's rays are most intense, and gradually lightens toward the bottom of the
lens where less sun enters.
Lens Interchangeability
Pack your Bollé action sport pouch with a variety of lenses for whatever activity and light the day might bring. Lenses interchange in seconds.
Bollé Sport Eyewear System (SES) for action sports, golf and tennis includes four lenses best suited for your sport.
Light Management
Bollé makes 10 different lenses to help you proactively manage the available light conditions and perform you best. Including high contrast lenses for
better depth perception and lenses that enhance vision of a specific color.
Anti-Reflective (AR) Coating
Bollé coats the backside of its PC Polarized Cactus and Sandstone lenses to absorb distracting bounce-back images, either from the eye itself, or
entering from the side, that normally reflect on the mirror-smooth surface.
Tennis Competivision™
Bollé has developed the first ever lens specifically for tennis. Competivision™ is Bolle's patented, award-winning, teal colored lens designed to mute
all colors except for optic yellow. The lens has a filter that separates the court background from the ball, which allows the tennis player to more
readily see the tennis ball against the muted background colors. According to Tennis Magazine, "The yellow tennis ball comes at you like Godzilla in a
3-D movie." In fact, over 40% of USPTA pros have purchased Competivision frames. Please note that since red and green is muted so effectively, it
should not be used for driving.
