With twelve models for 2017, Bollé has its largest collection of golf sunglasses yet. The addition of three stylish new models – Flash, Flyair and Attraxion – plus a range of colors from Matte Black to Neon Yellow, assures a style for every golfer.
Driven by the recognition that flawless vision is an essential to hand-eye coordination, Bollé developed lenses for sport sunglasses that are among the most distortion-free on the market. Their Modulator V3 golf lenses are made with Trivex, an advanced material superior to polycarbonate (used in most sport sunglass lenses) in terms of optical clarity, weight and strength.
Modulator photochromic technology allows lenses to adapt quickly to changing conditions, ensuring the proper tint in any environment, from direct sunlight to shaded areas. The tint of Modulator V3 golf lenses, engineered specifically for the varying demands of the sport, is designed to highlight any subtleties of a golf course. An exterior hydrophobic/oleophobic coating and interior anti-fog treatment combine to manage moisture and eliminate smudging.
Frames constructed of lightweight and extremely flexible B88 nylon provide all-day comfort. Thermogrip temple tips and nose pads keep these sunglasses firmly and comfortably in place. For an unobstructed view when looking down, all sunglasses in the collection have rimless or semi-rimless frame designs.
“In recent years, it’s become increasingly obvious to me just how important precise, clear vision is to playing this sport well,” said Jim Herman, professional golfer and Bollé ambassador. “Nearly distortion-free and with exactly the right tint for all conditions, these sunglasses allow me to compete with confidence.”
Bollé models featuring Photo V3 Golf lenses are priced between $109.99 and $199.99.
