Well said. I just cannot seem to get behind this brand. The blend is rather dull. Good post.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the offer! I’m always up for free stuff and would certainly be happy to review Total Shaving Solution on here for you.
I’ll be in touch!

Just a suggestion but you’d be welcome to try our shaving oil. It’s great for a wet shave. Just email us your details and we will send you a sample.. perhaps you could review it for us then?

Thanks

Hello, Dave.
As a matter of fact, wraparound style is no problem for prescription lenses. I did a bit of research around local optics shops. Turned out that it’s possible to make a special order for prescription lenses even for wraparound styled frames. I’ve been said that making wraparound prescription lenses could be a bit pricey, but considering that the frames you mentioned are really cheap, I guess it’s worth it. And yes, you are right, they ARE good looking. The only problem is that not all the frames allow to replace lenses. That’s the main issue here.
In fact, couple of days ago I emailed to Bolle’s sales department in the UK, asking them the same question I asked you, but they haven’t responded so far.
Anyway, thanks for your comment !

Hi Mitya,
I don’t think either of them do unfortunately. Both styles have wraparound style lenses which don’t lend themselves to prescription lenses.
Bolle do another pair of safety glasses that do take prescription lenses, but I can’t remember which ones they are. They don’t look as good though…
have you considered photochromic lenses in your glasses?

Hey, Dave. Thanks a lot for posting your review of those Bolle’s. Look, I gotta question about Contour and Spider Flash models. Do these 2 models fit for prescription lenses? What I have in mind is not the additional clip-on (hate those clip-ons), but rather taking the “native” lenses out of the frame and actually replacing them with other lenses. So the question is do the frames of those models allow lenses to be changed? If you know the answer, pls enlighten me on this. It’ll be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Charles,
Thanks for commenting!

I’ve not seen the tinted Contours in the flesh so couldn’t comment on whether they are tinted enough for use as sunglasses. My guess is that they aren’t given that they say they are ‘safe for driving’.

I believe they now make a polarised Contour model but the specifications say they have the same level of light-blocking as the smoke version. My personal experience of the Contour is that they feel a little flimsy and the nose pads aren’t stuck on very securely. That said, I have lost one off the Spider’s…

The Contour Smoke aren’t that expensive though, so if you decide to get some and they aren’t dark enough for use as sunglasses, I’d much appreciate you letting us know!

Cheers,
Dave
