Brand

The Bolle brand was founded in 1888 in France. Interestingly enough, they got their start designing and producing combs and other hair accessories from a horn. It wasn't until 1936 when it started producing sunglasses and other optical frames. Their first frames were constructed out of celluloid and rhodoid.

After WWII the company became a pioneer of molded nylon, using this in the manufacturing of their frames. Their glasses met the highest of standards for that time.

In 1950 they added their first pairs of googles and masks. It wasn't until 1960 that they started their sporting adventures. They finally introduced their first pair of dedicated skiing goggles. While all this was going on, Bolle was working in conjunction with the French Army, Navy, and Aerospace to help develop safety goggles.

They are an industry leader with innovative designs. The brand has risen from a small workshop to one of the leading global manufacturers on eyewear.

Nowadays, well over a hundred years later, Bolle's products are worn by people all over the world. Their fantastic quality and innovative products help them stand out above the rest.

The Bolle Tigersnake Sunglasses feature a wraparound frame which is ideal for many activities. These multi-sport sunglasses offer thermogrip nose pads as well as temple tips.

Lenses

The lenses of the Bolle Tigersnake Sunglasses come packed with many technologies to help make your life, and your vision, a little bit better. They are oleophobic and hydrophobic.

Essentially, this means that water, sweat, oil, or fingerprints won't smudge up the glasses, obstructing your view.

When walking in or out of buildings with a temperature change, you can often experience your glasses fogging up. That is a thing of the past when it comes to this product.

TNS gun lenses have a light transmission rate of 11%, again perfect for bright conditions. They feature an enhanced contrast rater and will filter out 91% of blue light. The lens has a gray base with a silver flash mirror. It maintains a natural color perception and provides you with a little extra glare protection.

The brown emerald lenses have a transmission rate of 11% and a blue light filter rate of 90%. Additionally, they offer you an enhanced contrast. The lens base color is brown and features a green flash mirror. This amplifies color contrast and gives you a higher visual definition.

Size

The Bolle Tigersnake Sunglasses are designed to fit those with larger sized heads. This is something that most customers love because it can be challenging to find shades in this size.
