#BolleSafety

Bollé Safety is continuing to add to its already extensive ANSI-rated eyewear collection with the announcement that two new lifestyle-oriented pairs will be coming soon- the new ALTUS and KNOX sunglasses. These new pairs of Z87.1-rated sunglasses are meant to be lightweight and comfortable, but still suitable for range use or other tasks and jobs that require protective eyewear.

One of the biggest annoyances for me on the range when it comes to wearing safety glasses is fog. Most lenses out there will eventually fog even in optimal conditions but on extremely hot or humid days it can be even worse with your body’s heat doing its best to fog up the inside of your lenses. Bollé Safety has just announced a solution to that problem with the introduction of their new Platinum Technology equipped safety glasses which have been able to demonstrate in tests that they are capable of resisting the appearance of fog for 15 minutes above a source of steam which is a resistance equivalent to 100 times higher than the requirements defined by industry EN166 standard.

Every year it is estimated that nearly half of all head injuries sustained in the United States are actually eye injuries. According to The Vision Council, 90 of these injuries that are sustained to the eyes are preventable. In the firearms world, it’s almost universally agreed upon that eye protection as well as hearing protection is a must for everyone when around firearms of any type. Bolle Safety has just announced the introduction of their new Gunfire Kit 2.0 wraparound eye protection featuring swappable ballistic lenses and meeting  STANAG 4296 standards for eye protection for the individual soldier.
