Use and maintenance guide for Bollé products

Instructions for use

Sunglasses

Sunglasses protect your eyes from the harmful and unpleasant effects of sunlight. Please note that sunglasses are not suitable for driving at twilight or at night, for protecting the eyes against the risk of mechanical impact, for looking directly at the sun, or for protection against artificial light sources (for example, tanning beds).

When wearing your sunglasses, take care to remove them from your face by holding both arms.

Ski goggles

Bollé ski goggles are designed to provide protection against snow, sun, wind and cold when practicing winter sports. Do not use them on the road or while driving.

To prevent fogging:

• Wipe your lens with a soft cloth, and wipe your face as well
• Once the goggles are on, do not obstruct the ventilation openings

Ski helmets

Bollé ski helmets are designed to provide optimal head protection while skiing and snowboarding. Do not use a Bollé ski helmet for any other activity (such as motorized activities, cycling, hockey...).

Wearing a helmet helps reduce the severity of potential head injuries thanks to its ability to absorb shocks and the protection it offers against any type of object. After a violent impact, a helmet must no longer be used, even if there is no visible damage. Having absorbed the energy of the impact to reduce its force, it will not absorb another impact as effectively.

The helmet must be properly positioned on the head so as to protect the forehead while leaving the nape free. An adjustable helmet must be adjusted to your own head. The chin straps must be snug but not too tight, and the fastening system must be closed.

Bike helmets

Bollé bike helmets are intended exclusively for cycling and roller skating. Do not use them for motorized sports.

Wearing a helmet helps reduce the severity of potential head injuries thanks to its ability to absorb shocks and the protection it offers against any type of object. After a violent impact, a helmet must no longer be used, even if there is no visible damage. Having absorbed the energy of the impact to reduce its force, it will not absorb another impact as effectively.

Check the fit of your helmet before each use. To be effective, a helmet must be adjusted to your size and worn properly.

Maintenance and storage

Your Bollé products must be cleaned regularly to keep them in good condition and extend their lifespan.

• Do not use solvents/detergents, paper-based products, ski gloves or other abrasive materials, which can alter the mechanical and technical properties of the products.
• Allow them to air dry completely before putting them away (do not use a hairdryer or any other artificial heat source such as a radiator).
• Do not leave them in direct light on a car dashboard or on the rear parcel shelf.
• Remember to store them in their case or microfiber pouch to protect them.

Screens, lenses or visors must absolutely be replaced when their state of degradation no longer guarantees that they can be used in compliance. They must be replaced with new lenses of the same Bollé model so as to continue to guarantee their functionality and protection.

Any modification made to a bike or ski helmet, in particular the application of paint or stickers, and the use of detergents, chemicals and solvents, may reduce performance and lower the level of protection.

Sunglasses

To clean your Bollé sunglasses, you can wash the frame with soapy water and then gently wipe it after rinsing, using a soft cloth such as microfiber.

Ski goggles

To clean your Bollé ski goggles, use a soft cloth, taking care to first remove any particles or dust from the surface. Then let them air dry. Do not rub or wipe the inside of the lens vigorously, as the anti-fog treatment would lose its effectiveness.

Ski helmets

The helmet must be cleaned using only water, mild soap and a soft, clean cloth. You can use a cotton swab moistened with slightly soapy water to reach the openings, vents and ventilation channels.

Pat dry gently or let it dry on a terry towel.

The foam inside your helmet is machine washable at 30 °C.

Bike helmets

The helmet must be cleaned using only water, mild soap and a soft, clean cloth. Your helmet will stay in good condition if it is stored in a dark place and is not subjected to impacts or the weight of other objects.
