Bolle Adventurer Sunglasses – SOLACE4 Brown Gun Lens

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Purpose-built for the peaks, the Bollé Adventurer sunglasses offer top-tier lens technology and rugged design for committed high-altitude explorers.

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.

SOLACE4 is our performance mineral lens for ultimate protection and best optical clarity in intense luminosity. The brown base neutralizes blue light at high altitudes and the strong silver mirror reflects even more light.

Our Verdict

The Bollé Adventurer sunglasses with SOLACE4 Brown Gun lenses are purpose-built for high-altitude adventurers who need maximum UV protection and optical clarity. Designed with a classic mountaineering look, these glasses offer Category 4 lens protection, which blocks 94.5% of visible light, making them ideal for bright conditions in snow-covered or exposed mountain areas. The SOLACE4 lens’ brown tint effectively reduces blue light glare, enhancing contrast and visibility at high altitudes, while the reflective silver mirror layer provides added protection in intense sunlight.

Comfort is a priority, and Thermogrip rubber on both the temples and the adjustable three-position nosepiece ensures a secure fit even during strenuous activity or in wet conditions. The removable side shields provide additional protection from peripheral light, and the lenses are durable yet relatively lightweight at 50 grams.
