Bollé Trailchaser: The notable entry of a historic brand into the trail running market

Building on its expertise in outdoor and high-precision sports since 1888, Bollé is entering the trail running arena with the limited-edition TRAILCHASER. This model is designed to deliver comfort, support, and optical precision for the most demanding athletes, drawing on proven technologies from other performance segments. This ambitious market entry positions the model as a strong contender for the 'Product of the Year' title at the Trail Running Awards.

Innovation and dynamic support

The TRAILCHASER incorporates several technical features designed to ensure optical performance and flawless support:

  • Phantom photochromic lenses: The eyewear is available exclusively with the Phantom lens, touted as one of the best photochromic lenses on the market, ensuring clear vision tailored to all lighting conditions (night and day, according to athletes).

  • FIT-TEC technology: FIT-TEC temples allow 3-axis rotation, paired with an adjustable nosepiece made of recycled Thermogrip® (38%). This feature is designed to provide a precise and uniform fit, even as perspiration intensifies.

  • Ventilation and clarity: The semi-rimless cylindrical lens incorporates laser-cut details for ventilation. This system is designed to prevent fogging and ensure a wide, unobstructed field of vision.

Commitment and design details

Beyond optical and mechanical performance, the TRAILCHASER stands out for its design and manufacturing choices:

  • Eco-design: The frame is 45% bio-sourced from castor oil, and the adjustable nosepiece uses recycled materials, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.

  • Optical durability: The lenses feature an anti-scratch coating as well as an oleophobic/hydrophobic treatment to repel fingerprints, sweat, and water.

  • Exclusivity: The limited edition is numbered via an engraving on the front of the lens, emphasizing its unique character.
