Bringing back a classic - Bollé Chronoshield Sunglasses Review - feat. Phantom Lenses + Vented

When Bollé introduced the Chronoshield sunglasses back in 1986, it captured the 80’s with bright colors and an oversized lens inspired by their Chrono ski goggles. Although the oversized sunglasses faded from popularity, today it’s returned in full form. To capitalize on the renewed interest, Bollé brought back the Chronoshield with an updated design with their latest lens technology. The revised Bollé Chronoshield sunglasses retain the iconic shape of the original and have an extra wide field of vision with a vented lens design. Bollé offers the sunglasses with prescription as well as a variety of their Phantom lenses. They also feature Thermogrip rubber inserts on the temples as well as the adjustable nose temples for additional comfort.

Bollé has retained the iconic shape of the original Chronoshield sunglasses while still modernizing them. At almost the same size as ski goggles, the Chronoshield offers a very large field of view with a retro feel to them. The sunglasses use a full frame design but offer enough flexibility to easily swap the lenses out if needed by pulling down on the lower portion of the frame. While the sunglasses don’t have any particular unique touches such as the Smith Flywheel’s extended upper lens, the sharp angular frame shape and vented lens give the Chronoshield a distinctive look.

Believe it or not, selecting sunglasses lenses isn’t just about picking a lens that looks cool. It’s important to match the lens tint and filtering category (which determines the amount of light that is transmitted through them) to match the conditions the sunglasses will be used in. With traditional lenses, they are limited to a single filtering category (between 0-4 where 0 is clear and 4 is very dark). Bollé’s Phantom lenses use photochromic technology to adapt the tint to the light conditions and can cover filtering categories from 1-3. The Phantom Clear Green lenses allow for an impressive range of visible light transmission that ranges from 9% to 62%. This means the Chronoshields can be worn from low light conditions to brighter conditions without the need of swapping lenses...
