Vigilante comes to the rescue of sportspeople

For sports people including skiers, snowboarders, sailors, golfers and cyclists, Bollé has brought out two nine-base wrap-style goggles. Both the Vigilante and a smaller version called Parole combine sleek sports styling with new lens technology from Bollé. The models have been designed for a variety of sporting environments and are made from durable hydrated French nylon. The interchangeable polycarbonate lenses, which offer 100 per cent UV protection, come in nine lens options from clear to a variety of sports- and light-specific colours. An easy-to-use prescription adaptor is also available.

The frames feature Thermo-grip rubber temple tips and nose pads and an adjustable Thermo-grip venting system above the nose piece. The Bollé Equalizer, a Gore-Tex vent system which adjusts to changing air pressure and therefore maintains undistorted vision, has been incorporated into all 1999 double-lens goggle systems from Bollé, including Chrono 2000 and FO, Xeno, X200, X600 and Krait. Dawne Warren, UK sales and marketing manager for Bollé Sunglasses, explains: 'The Bollé Equalizer allows the double-lens goggle system to breathe and adjust to outside air pressure. The mechanism will be important in skiing and snowboarding and in all sports where changing altitude and undistorted vision are important factors.' - Contact Bollé Sunglasses on 0181 770 1766.
