Bollé says:
Elegant and refined, the ASCENDER is a mix between performance and fashion style. With its flat panto shape and removable side shield, this base 6 model is as comfortable on the summit as it is in the city. Comfort, fit, and stability are ensured thanks to the Thermogrip rubber on temple tips and on its adjustable 3-position nose piece. Removable side shields guarantee maximum light protection. The ASCENDER leaves nothing to chance with its snap hinge, a hole for a cord included with the frame and its rubber front clip.
Available with Phantom, the best photochromic lens in the market and Solace4, Bollé’s new mineral lens for the mountains.
What is Phantom? Phantom is Bollé’s first photochromic lens with phenomenal optical clarity. It adapts to any light condition, ensuring precise visual acuity whatever the weather. The lens tint changes with the light from cat.1 to cat.3. Enhanced vision whatever the conditions. Phantom+ combines all of our 3 technologies adding a 4th additional element: polarization. Polarized lenses are largely recognized today for their benefits in terms of blocking parasitic light reflections. So it felt right to add them to our already unbeatable lens technology to improve its level by yet another step. Equipped with Phantom+ lenses, you will be ready to take on any adventure.
