A LOOK BACK AT “UNIVERSAL,” A PREMIUM MODEL THAT FOUND ITS AUDIENCE
Considered Bollé Safety’s most important innovation in the protective goggles market, the UNIVERSAL model was launched in June 2023 and has already successfully established itself in the market.
The Red Dot Award recognized that UNIVERSAL is an exclusive design goggle with unparalleled functionality that ensure a bespoke fit and comfort for any use, with a specific color code depending on the field of use. Finally, it is designed for optimized recyclability.
THE HIGH-END PROTECTIVE GOGGLE UNIVERSAL STANDS OUT THANKS TO:
WAVE TECHNOLOGY
The goggle is designed with an accordion bellows system that adapts to the user’s face shapes and perfectly distributes the pressure of the goggle on the entire face, ensuring an optimized fit for each morphology and individual.
PANORAMIC VISION
Minimizes blind spots with a polycarbonate lens.
EXCLUSIVE PLATINUM COATING
Protects the masks against scratches and slowing the appearance of fog.
FOUR VERSIONS OF THE UNIVERSAL to suit all types of industries.
The color of the straps and the soft part of the goggles vary depending on the field of use, particularly in terms of ventilation, lens shades, and materials.
DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE UNIVERSAL:
-
- Yellow goggles: These have indirect ventilation and are suitable for a wide range of users, including construction workers and metallurgists where dust poses a limited risk.
-
- Green goggles: Unlike the yellow goggles, these are completely sealed and suitable for professionals working with flammable products, hazardous gases, fine particles, etc., such as in petrochemical environments or the food industry.
-
- Grey goggles: Made with a neoprene braid more resistant to chemicals than nylon. Ideal for workers using solvents, acids, etc.
-
- Black goggles: Designed with lenses for welding. Suitable for welders handling class 2 to 5 gases.
- Additionally, the UNIVERSAL provides impact resistance of type B (the highest for a mask) according to the EN1663 standard and is compatible with prescription glasses.
- Finally, the ease of disassembly allows for the separate recycling of materials (TRP, PC, and Nylon), and packaging in a 100% recycled and recyclable high-density polyethylene bag.
