Bollé Safety
In the not-too-distant past, safety eyewear was expected to perform one modest function: to provide a simple barrier between the wearer's eyes and airborne debris. This limited objective resulted in products that were much less effective at reducing workplace injuries. Particularly prevalent in the more humid summer months, reduced vision due to fogging may have actually been the direct cause of some workplace accidents.
Today, Bollé Safety offers a full range of advanced protective eyewear engineered with the latest technologies to perform flawlessly in a broad range of conditions and specifically for the requirements of multiple industries and applications, including energy, manufacturing, welding, ballistics and many others.
A breakthrough anti-fog/antiscratch coating
Bollé applies its proprietary Platinum coating to both sides of the lens of many of the glasses and goggles in the brand's extensive line of safety eyewear. This industry-leading technology meets or exceeds all applicable ANSI Z87.1 standards, as well as the more stringent European EN166 rules. Resistant to the most aggressive chemicals, Platinum effectively controls the buildup of fog, ensuring the best possible vision in even the most humid work environments.
