Awesome!
By K. Tindall
I am a tennis player and these sunglasses really help. Not only do they help filter out the sun rays, but the ball color (optic yellow) is really enhanced. They even work well in low-light conditions. If you need darker lenses than the teal, you can switch to the supplied grey ones. They also don't fog-up as easily as some. Great product!1/09 Update: After about a year of use, I found that the nose pads like to come unglued and fall off. There are replacement pads available, but they are a little pricey and you supply the glue. I would take the star rating down to 4 due to this.

Value Isn't There.
By James Tidwell
Because of specific eye problems I have to wear sunglasses outdoors at all times. The Bolle Vigilante with the prescription insert added was the perfect solution for my requirements. But I have complaints.Vastly overpriced for the quality.Compare these to sunglasses in the ten to twenty-five dollar range and you will see they are of comparable quality. In fact, I have better quality glasses purchased on Ebay from China. The interchangeable lenses are cheap scraps of plastic.My grandchild's toy sunglasses are no worse.The rubber nose pads and earpieces rot, and fall off frequently. If they were just molded as one piece of plastic with the frames, the problem would be solved and cost less to boot, although I would not expect Bolle to pass along any savings.Because of the design of the earpieces, it is not possible to attach retainer straps to the earpieces, so they fall off more often and the lenses get scratched up rapidly, resulting in more sales for Bolle.Can't someone make these things cheaply, or at least give value for the money spent? Until then, I am stuck buying theses frames and their expensive replacement lenses.UPDATE: 4/23/13. I now rate the Bolle at two stars up from one star because of recent experience - I have found that the nosepieces and ear pieces no longer seem to rot.

Parole Indestructible Frame: Must for tennis players.
By Luis Angel Betancur F
As a tennis player I bought my first pair of Parole sunglasses 12 years ago (2000) and I still have that frame.The frame is literally INDESTRUCTIBLE, ¡amazing!.But beware, the nose pads and the Bolle Thermo - Grip Temple Pads WILL damage in 2 - 3 years and them are (hell) EXPENSIVE !!!! (see link items). I just bought the Bolle Replacement Nose Pads replacement from amazon.Because my original competivision (teal green) and clear lenses got some scratches I decided to buy a new pair of Parole Sunglasses plus some replacement lenses (lemon & clear) (Bolle 2011/12 Parole 2 RL - Replacement Lenses (Pair).The new Parole frame has not changes, it is exactly as the original, so the nose pads and grip temple pads.The frame is really light and this is great for a tennis player.The pouch has improved the inside pocket for the second pair of replacement lenses.Best of Parole (small frame) and Vigilante (bigger frame) sunnglasses is the option of a prescription lense adapter Bolle Vigilante or Parole Small Rx Prescription Insert Adapter to Use with Sunglasseswhich I use and that is the main reason that now I own two of this frames.With two frames I have the advantage of having one with the competivision (teal green) lenses for bright day and the other frame with the clear or lemon lenses for playing in a cloudy day or at night.Don't doubt it, this sunglasses worth their price for a serious tennis player.Advices:- Take good care of the nose pads.- Don't twist the grip temples.- Be careful when you clean the lenses, especially when you play in clay courts.- Try to change lenses not frequently and not in the run, this can be a cause of damaging the nose pads.- When using RX adapter in hot/humid weather probably will help to use an anti fog solution (I use Aqua Sphere Anti-Fog Solution).Overall rating: 4 stars, Bolle must improve nose pads.P.S.: I am an intermediate-advanced tennis player (NTRP 4,0 - 4,5 level*); I have been playing tennis since 3 decades ago and besides I love this sport, I like technical aspects about racquets, strings, tennis shoes and tennis accessories. All your comments are welcome.*If you want to know your tennis level visit: National Tennis Rating Program at the USTA web site.
