BOLLE GOGGLE TECHNOLOGY

Flow-Tech Venting – Bolle designs its goggles to control and optimize the flow of air over the inside of the lens to reduce fogging. Venting ports are located to enhance design and control air flow without clogging with snow.

P80 (Anti-Fog Coating) – Bolle applies P80 to the inside of our cylindrical double lenses. Combined with thermal insulation of the double lens and Equalizer technology, it provides superior anti-fog capabilities and truer optics.

P80 PLUS (Anti-fog/Carbo Glass® Anti-Scratch) – Applied to our new spherical polycarbonate decentered single lenses (Zoopla), P80Plus is Bollé’s proprietary, maximum protection against lens fogging and scratching.

Quick Release Strap – Easy on. Easy off. The Bolle Quick Release Strap makes getting your goggles on/off your head or helmet easier.

OTH (Over The Helmet) – All Bolle goggles are designed to be compatible with most helmet designs currently on the market.

SOS Prescription Adapters (RX) – Prescription wearers can customize their Bollé goggles with optical Rx adapters that fit inside the goggle

Double Lens with Equalizer – Bolle double lenses create a thermal barrier, but have a superior seal and better optics with Equalizer technology.

100% UV Protection – All of Bollé’s goggle lens protect the wearer 100% from harmful ultraviolet rays (UVA/UVB).

OTG/OTC (Over the glasses/contacts) – The Bolle X700, X500, and X200 goggles are designed to fit over most glasses and contact lenses.

Polarized Lens – Low sun angles and the high reflectivity of snow create the need for polarization, which blocks the horizontal, reflected component of light. Gray lenses, however, offer no contrast for seeing icy patches or terrain features. Bolle combines polarization with a vermillon tint for high contrast perception.

Spherical Lens – Featured in the new Bolle contour goggle the spherical lens offers enhanced vision and superior optics over traditional flat lenses. Unique, sculpted look, reduced fogging with lens further from face.

Equalizer™ – Bolle Equalizer technology uses a breathable, gore all-weather vent to equalize air pressure between the lenses, without introducing moisture. The result is distortion-free vision at any altitude and no fogging.

BOLLE LENS OPTIONS

Vermillon – High contrast. Mostly cloudy/overcast conditions
Phototropic – Light sensitive amber tint that darkens with increasing solar intensity.
Bollé 100 – Amber colored lens that absorbs 100% infrared. Infrared rays contribute heat which accelerates the drying of the eye.
Night Ski – Clear lens for very low light or night skiing.
Citrus – High contrast. Direct sun/bright conditions (combines yellow and amber qualities)
Vermillon Gun Flash – Metallic silver coating applied. Our Vermillion lens reduce glare and enhance visual acuity. Ideal for bright days on the slopes.
Vermillon Polarized – High contrast. Highest glare and reflective conditions.

The Electric EGI Ski Goggles are popular snow goggles available in a unisex one size fits all model.

“Seeing well” for an athlete means optimizing the qualities of vision in relation to the velocity of movements. Performances are achieved by pushing reactivity of excess. It is crucial for the athlete to make coordinated and rhythmical movements to perceive the irregularities of the slope or course without hesitation.

No skier can make secure judgments in advance of the obstacles or course poles without clear, undistorted vision. The world’s leading manufacturers in ski goggles and snow ski eyewear provide you with the best possible protection and most technologically advanced lens designs.

With manufacturers like Oakley and Bolle, you can find eyewear for those who love the freedom of skiing. Bolle snow goggles offer a technology like no other. The trademarked Equalizer lens and ventilation system offers one of the best snow goggles on the market. The Gore-All weather vent equalizes air pressure between the lenses, without introducing moisture, so you get distortion-free vision at any altitude.

Selecting Goggles for Skiing and Snowboarding
At high altitudes, it is especially critical that your eyewear protect you from ultraviolet radiation, of which up to 85% can be reflected off snow. This means you need sunglasses or goggles in both sunny and overcast conditions. Snow blindness is a sunburn on the surface of the eye and the most common skiing injury that optometrists treat.

Skiing without goggles, regardless of weather conditions, increases exposure to UV rays, which puts people at risk of cataracts and macular degeneration, the number one cause of blindness in seniors.

People don’t usually think about the potential for eye injuries but they can happen. If you take a bad fall while wearing inappropriate eyewear, the lenses can break and cut your eyes; if you aren’t wearing any eyewear at all, a low branch can do serious damage to your eyes.

Goggles
If you prefer to wear a goggle, use the same lens color guidelines. Make sure the goggle is well ventilated to prevent fogging. Goggles should fit properly and comfortably and should be tinted in accordance to weather conditions, for additional safety.

A good all purpose tint is gray, with or without a mirror. For hazy conditions choose cinnamon, or amber. And for foggy days a vermilion or yellow tint helps to enhance what you see. Goggles with interchangeable lenses are good options for people who want to be well prepared.

Frames
We recommend a plastic frame since these hold up much better in the cold. Metal frames become brittle in the cold and may break. Wraps are very popular since they protect your eyes from wind and snow, which is especially important for contact lens wearers. They also help block out incidental light from the sides, helping to minimize glare.

Lenses
Most importantly, the sunglasses/goggles should offer 100% UV protection. Since glare increases on surfaces such as snow and regular sun lenses do not provide adequate absorption of glare, you may want to consider polarized lenses which absorb 98% of the glare so you don’t need to squint.

Please Note: Polarized lenses absorb so much glare that you may not be able to distinguish patches of ice from regular snow. You also may want to consider a photochromatic lens, which will lighten or darken according to the amount of light, getting darker in bright sunlight, and lighter in an overcast sky.

Polycarbonate lenses are highly recommended because of their impact resistance. Polycarbonate is also more fog resist than any other lens. Plastic provides adequate protection but can still shatter. Avoid glass lenses if at all possible. When skiing in bright sunlight, you should wear a sun lens. A brown or amber lens will provide the best contrast against a white background and works well for lower light conditions (i.e. when the sun goes behind the clouds).
