rotorbug Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 I bought these off the company I worked for in the UK for last 3 months. Paid £5-00! They retail for £15-00. Metal frame. They make things look yellow which is what I want for dusk/night riding. Loads cheaper than big brands like Oakley etc. http://www.bolle-safety.com/safety-spectacles/contour-metal-contmesp
CAAD4 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Nothing wrong. Kiwi has been selling Bolle online for years. http://www.rapide.co.za/product-category/glasses/
Sepia Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Johnson and Wurth also have great fitting glasses at R10.00 I think it was. They have all the colours.
Brickleberry Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Do they as safety glasses offer UV protection? If they do then they are great. If not, hey will cause more harm to your eyes than they are worth.
rotorbug Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Do they as safety glasses offer UV protection? If they do then they are great. If not, hey will cause more harm to your eyes than they are worth.Not much UV light at dusk/night riding!
dirtypot Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I'd take a pair of those for a fiver! I'm also not really concerned about the UV levels at 4am, when I'd be using them... I have real sunglasses for day time.

As long as they're optically correct they will not damage your eyes. Also, they will block more UV than not wearing glasses. Yup, not a great deal of UVA or B around when the sun's below the horizon...
rotorbug Posted July 25, 2015 Author Posted July 25, 2015 From Bolle site: Solar radiations risks: EN 172 Filter protection for industrial solar radiation.Recommended for outdoor work, EN172 norm guarantee a protection of 99.99% of ultra-violet solar radiation.Levels of application: 5-3.1 (Polarized, smoked) 5-2 (Twilight), 5-1.4 (ESP), 5/1.1-1.4 (Constrast), 5-2.5 and 5 to 4.1 (smoked )Lens color: smoked
quintonb Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 I ride with the clear lens ones. Have had 2 pairs and they great. For the price and the protection they offer its brilliant. Their styling is also not too bad. I'm a big fan.
Skylark Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 These work like a champ, good quality brand name safety glasses which are certified and have UV protection such as these will rival sunglasses 10 times the price, granted they don't have any photochromic magic or blinged up styling(which I prefer, ubiquitous Oakleys bleh) but the basics they are designed to do they will excel at.
