With summer just around the corner, you may be gathering and preparing all of your gear to hit the water for some fun. Whether your are an angler, sailor or just enjoy spending time on the water, you may be in the market for some sunglasses to help cut down on that annoying glare. Bollé, one of the many names that Bushnell Outdoor Products of Overland Park, Kansas produces under, has announced the expansion of their Marine line of sunglasses to now include 15 models.
Up to 2011, Bollé already had been offer nine different styles of glasses in their Maine Collection. The Bollé Marine Collection features two specialized mirrored lens hues – Inland Gold for low light conditions and Offshore Blue for the harsher light of open water. Both lenses are polarized to eliminate distracting glare while enabling the wearer to see below the water’s surface. Bollé Marine lenses also block distracting blue light to minimize eye fatigue in their unique water environments.
Because glare can also sneak up from behind, the lenses also have an anti-reflective treatment to eliminate back side reflections and provide a clear view of what’s ahead.
All sunglasses in the collection have a hydrophobic coating, which promotes the dispersion of water off of the lens, fights smudging and is impervious to sunscreen and skin oils.
The new models include the Python, Zander, Winslow and Chase. Available now at outdoor, general marine, fishing, sailing and related specialty retailers, sunglasses in the Bollé Marine Collection are priced from $129.99 to $169.99. All models feature exclusive Thermogrip temple tips and nose pads for a secure, comfortable fit. To ensure the best possible combination of strength, flexibility and minimal weight, all frames are constructed of the purest available nylon, Bollé’s proprietary b-88. For added security, a floating retainer is included with every pair.
