Bolle Rx Ski Goggles
From LoveToKnow Sunglasses
Bolle Rx ski goggles are your ideal solution if your vision's less than perfect but you like to hit the slopes without your glasses or contact lenses (and even if you do want to wear your glasses). There's no need for the bulk involved with trying to wear your usual eyeglass frames, and there's nothing worse than getting something lodged underneath your contact lens while maneuvering at rapid speeds.
Find Your Bolle Rx Ski Goggles
The goggles themselves don't contain the prescription. Instead, you can get a pair of adapter lenses with your prescription intact. Insert that into any of the following styles: Scream, Jinx, Shark, Boost, Nebula, Nova, Showtime, Boost OTG, Cylon, or X9. That's quite a selection! Prescription wearers shouldn't feel stifled by their choices, that's for sure! Two styles, X9 and Boost OTG, fit right over your glasses, so if you'd prefer to wear your own glasses rather than an insert, you can still do just that.
About Ski Goggles
Bolle Rx ski goggles are sleek and colorful. They're everything you need to impress fellow skiers on the slopes. Read on to choose your color and learn about the technology Bolle incorporates into their ski goggle styles. There are some that fit over your glasses and others that can hold an insert with your prescription. Choose based on what's most comfortable for you and you can't go wrong. If wearing your only pair of glasses under a pair of sports goggles doesn't sound like a good idea, opt for the insert that remains in your goggles, leaving you free to change into your regular eyewear later.
Bolle has a few lens colors ideal for skiing. Here are a few on their list and what they're used for:
Clear: Night skiing
Lemon: Very low light conditions
Mogul™: This one's exclusive to Bolle and is a combination of vermillion and silver mirror
Vermillion: Snow sports
What ski goggles do is protect your eyes from the sun's UV rays; they can be extremely harsh when reflecting off of the snow on a bright or overcast day. Even if you forget your sunscreen (please don't!), your eyes will be protected.
Another thing you're protected from—especially when it comes to shatterproof polycarbonate lenses—is the threat of tree branches or other flying debris. Not only will the debris not make it into your eyes, but the lenses themselves will not shatter; they'll crack in a spiderweb fashion at the most, and even that is hard to accomplish.
Bolle Technology
One of the things Bolle is proudest of is their ability to keep up with the latest, best technology. Here's the rundown of the current goggles they have to offer:
Lenses
- Most importantly, they have 100% UVA/UVB protection.
- Flow-tech venting
- Anti-fog and a coating to keep scratches at bay
- Polycarbonate, polarized lenses (so they don't shatter and they cut the most glare possible!)
- Mirrored finish
Frames
- Some fit right over glasses
- Some fit over helmets
- Air management system that keeps your goggles from fogging up (the Scream model)
- A system that keeps the goggles fitting perfectly over the helmet (the Simmer, Cylon, Stoke, Boost, Boost OTG, Nebula, and Scream models)
- Fleece against your face for comfort (the X9, Scream, Jinx, Simmer, and Cylon models)
Bolle really put serious thought into creating the perfect sports eyewear. Bolle Rx ski goggles should definitely be on your shopping list or your checklist before you go to the mountains to ski. You'll be hitting the slopes with attitude and great vision!
