Bolle Venom Sunglasses (Dark Tortoise, Polarized Axis)

 (16 customer reviews)

This is my second pair of Bolle sunglasses. My first pair got a scratch on the lens, right in the middle, during a hike in rugged country in Colorado. I liked them enough to try another pair of Bolle. The Venom is a great set of sunglasses! Very good optical quality. They seem even better than my first Bolle! I have been using them for long distance running and hiking along the Blue Ridge in Virginia. I sweat a lot when exercising, and these glasses stay put. I like them so well, that I got a pair for my wife!

The fit of these glasses is near perfect. I have what I consider to be a rather large head, and these glasses are rated as being medium sized, but they fit very well. The bottom of the glasses does rest against my cheek a bit, but it is not an issue.

Highly recommended.

If you just love to waste money, go buy yourself some Costa Del Mars. If you instead want a super pair of sunglasses at a very reasonable price, give these Venoms a look. I have a pair of Costas and love them. I've also owned Rayban, Oakley, Gargoyle, Smiths, and H2Optix; all very good glasses respectively. Considering the price difference, Bolle is slaughtering the competition, and selling a pretty darn good product in doing so. This makes my forth pair of Bolles and I continue to be pleased with their style, service, and price. The only thing I am a little dishearted about is that most of their products are now being made in China, when they were formally made in Italy and France. It would seem that the front office has a close QC eye on the chinese however and are holding them to the high Bolle standards that built the company's good reputation. Save the money, buy the glasses, and you won't regret the decission.

The super fit around the face and dark lenses are great at blocking sun. Fit comfortable on the nose and ears. Very light weight.
