BOLLÉ’S ATHLETES READY FOR SÖLDEN WITH THE MEDALIST CARBON PRO RACING HELMET & THE LATEST GOGGLE NEVADA

Paris, – October 2018 – Even if the never-ending European Indian summer would like to have us forget about the date, the opening of the FIS World Cup is now just around the corner. The 2018-2019 FIS World Cup Season kicks off in Sölden from October 26 to 28, 2018 with a women’s and men’s . Organized on the Rettenbach Glacier— with one of the steepest pitches on the tour – the event will see the most talented skiers in the world getting back in the White Circus.

All Bollé athletes have been training hard in preparation for this new season and are looking forward to proving their determination on the slopes. After his two Olympic medals (Bronze in Giant Slalom and Silver in Super-Combined), two World Cup victories last season in Giant Slalom and Super Combined and ranked 3rd in overall World Cup Giant slalom, enters the White Circus with a leading position to defend and with high goals. Tessa Worley will also launch into this new season armed with her natural concentration and passion. Ending last World Cup season with a beautiful second place in her specialty, the Giant Slalom, the French athlete never gets tired of victory. Also achieving an amazing season in 2018 and a Silver medal in Super G in Korea, the born-competitor will race for nothing else but the highest step of the podium.

The season also starts with a new collaboration for Bollé. The brand became the official partner of Slovenia Alpine Ski Pool, reinforcing its presence in top-level sport.

The brand will support its athletes with its highest performing equipment: the FIS approved MEDALIST CARBON PRO race helmet and Bollé’s new goggle NEVADA featuring the brand’s latest lens innovation, Phantom lens technology.

SLEEK DESIGN AND MOST CUTTING-EDGE LENS TECHNOLOGY

Bollé’s latest goggle NEVADA, the choice of the brand’s Athletes Team, is characterized by its mix of style and high- end technology. This cylindrical frameless goggle gives an amazingly wide field of view supported by Bollé’s latest lens innovation: Phantom lens technology. Providing unbeatable clarity thanks to its NXT® construction, Phantom lens photochromic technology also adapts to any light condition at any temperature. Indeed, thanks to LTS Technology (Low Temperature Sensitivity), Phantom lens delivers improved activation, darkening or lightening whether the temperature is -10°C or 20°C. NEVADA is available with Phantom+, a semi-polarized version of Phantom adding protection from distracting glare without masking ice. Last but not least, Bollé’s Flow Tech® venting system and anti-fog treatment eliminate fog ensuring that the wearer enjoys excellent visibility even during the most intense action.
