Bollé Nose-Pieces Disintegrating

[John Everett]

Just curious, has anyone else noticed that Bollé rubber nose-pieces
seem to be incompatible with sunblock? At least I think that's why
mine is disintegrating.

I can't say I have, I have a great pair of Bolle glasses, used them for
the last 18 months and havent had any adverse effects!

Bolle rubber parts disintegrate. I found a source for replacement nose
pieces and temples on the web for their Parole model. I talked to
Bolle and they said that they considered this normal wear. Good luck.

Interesting, mine are 12 years old and look fine. They've lasted much
longer than the 5 pairs of Oakleys in the same period.

I've experienced the same thing with Brikos but not with Oakleys. It took
about five years of use though.

Well, sure, if you keep the Bolles in the drawer while you're out abusing
the Oaks...

I've worn the Bolles much more in that time period due to my sending the
Oakleys back for warranty replacement over and over because of cracked
frames.

I find that this type is resistant to virtually everything:

The light-up version might be preferred for added night safety.

Did you catch the brand name on the nosepiece glue?
