Product Information
Full details
The Bolle Eco Torus M Goggles are designed for adult skiers and snowboarders seeking a sustainable, high-performance eyewear solution. Their key benefit lies in the adaptive photochromic lens that ensures optimal clarity in varying light conditions, combined with an eco-conscious construction. A potential caveat for some users might be the medium fit, which may not be ideal for those with very large or very small head sizes. Key features include automatic lens adjustment, full UV protection, a helmet-compatible design, and an anti-fogging ventilation system.

FAQs
Are these goggles suitable for very bright sunny conditions?
Yes, the photochromic lens automatically adjusts its tint to darken in bright sunlight, providing optimal vision and protection.
Can I wear these goggles with my own prescription glasses?
Yes, the Eco Torus M goggles feature an Over-The-Glasses (OTG) design, allowing you to wear them comfortably over most standard prescription eyewear.
How do I clean the lenses without damaging them?
Use only a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lenses. Avoid using any chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the lens coatings.
What does 'photochromic' mean for my skiing experience?
Photochromic lenses change their tint level automatically based on the amount of UV light present. This means your goggles will adapt from clear or lightly tinted in low light to darker in bright sun, providing optimal visual comfort and clarity in various conditions without needing to change lenses.
How is the sustainability aspect incorporated into these goggles?
The goggles feature a strap made from 65% recycled polyester with 100% recycled patches. Additionally, the frame and adjusters are crafted from bio-based materials derived from renewable castor oil, aligning with Bolle's React for Good initiative.
What is the main benefit of the Toric lens design?
The Toric lens offers an expanded, distortion-free field of view, enhancing peripheral vision and providing a more natural and immersive visual experience on the slopes.
How does the Flow Tech venting system work to prevent fogging?
The system is engineered to promote airflow through the frame, which helps to vent moisture and prevent condensation buildup on the inside of the lens, thus reducing fogging.
Troubleshooting
Goggles fog up excessively
Ensure the Flow Tech venting system is not blocked by snow or debris. Allow the goggles to air dry completely after use. Avoid touching the inside of the lens, as oils from your skin can worsen fogging.
Photochromic lens not changing tint effectively
Lens tint adjustment is dependent on UV levels and temperature. Performance may be reduced in very cold temperatures or low UV conditions. Ensure the lens is clean and unobstructed.
Strap is uncomfortable or slipping
Adjust the strap length for a secure fit over your helmet or head. Ensure the strap is positioned correctly on the back of your helmet. Check for any obstructions or damage to the strap adjusters.
Prescription glasses don't fit comfortably underneath
Try different positions for your prescription glasses under the goggles. Some wider or thicker framed glasses may not fit perfectly with the OTG design. Experiment with adjusting the goggle strap.

Compatibility: These goggles are designed to be compatible with most ski and snowboard helmets due to their adjustable strap system. The OTG feature allows them to fit over most standard prescription eyewear frames.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your goggles:
- Cleaning Lenses: Gently wipe the lenses with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as they can damage lens coatings.
- Storing Goggles: When not in use, store the goggles in a protective case or the provided microfiber bag to prevent scratches. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods, which can affect lens performance.
- Drying: If the lenses or foam become damp, allow them to air dry completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup and potential damage to the foam.
- Strap Care: Clean the strap with mild soap and water if necessary, and allow it to air dry.
