Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Exceptional eye protection for the most extreme environments.

Bollé says: 

A vintage round mountain frame revisited with Bollé design language, the ADVENTURER is a symbol of the brand’s outdoors expertise. High performance and trendy, these base 8 glacier sunglasses are easy to wear and offer the highest protection for ultimate conditions. Comfort, fit, and stability are ensured thanks to the Thermogrip rubber on temple tips and on its adjustable 3-position nose piece. Removable side shields guarantee maximum light protection. The ADVENTURER leaves nothing to chance with its snap hinge, a hole for a cord included with the frame and its rubber front clip.

Available with Phantom, the best photochromic lens in the market and Solace4, Bollé’s new mineral lens for the mountains.

Our Verdict

The Bollé Adventurer sunglasses with Bollé 100 Gun lenses are purpose-built for high-altitude adventures, combining style and performance. Weighing just 48g, the lightweight frames feature a durable, eco-conscious nylon construction with Thermogrip rubber on the temples and an adjustable nose piece for a secure, comfortable fit during demanding activities.

The Category 4 lenses are outstanding for blocking 95% of visible light, offering superb protection in intense glare. The dark amber tint with a silver mirror flash ensures excellent clarity and contrast, making them ideal for mountaineering and other high-glare conditions. Removable side shields provide added light protection, though their technical design leans more towards performance than everyday wear.

Overall, the Adventurer is stylish and reliable for mountaineers and hikers needing top-tier eye protection. It excels in challenging environments, delivering comfort, stability, and exceptional optical performance.
