Bolle Rush Plus Safety Glasses

The Bollé Rush Plus is a multi-configuration safety glass rated ANSI Z87.1+ with PLATINUM anti-fog coating, available in 10 variants combining frame colors with Clear Anti-Fog, Smoke Anti-Fog, CSP Indoor/Outdoor, Twilight Anti-Fog, and foam-lined configurations at $14.39–$21.20. The Rush Plus provides Bollé's performance anti-fog coating in a lightweight wraparound frame with multiple color and lens options, suited to both individual selection and crew program provisioning.

Construction and Materials

The Rush Plus features a wraparound polycarbonate lens in a soft TPR frame with rubberized temple tips and adjustable nosepiece. The PLATINUM anti-fog coating is applied to anti-fog variants. The foam-lined variant (40252, Black/Red, $21.20) adds a removable foam gasket for debris exclusion in dusty or splash-prone environments. CSP (Color Specific Purpose) Indoor/Outdoor lens tint provides graduated tinting suited for both artificial-light indoor environments and outdoor brightness without the extremes of either clear or full smoke. Frame color options include White/Pink, Red/Black, Black/Gray, Blue/Green, Black/Yellow, and Black/Red.

Compliance

ANSI Z87.1+ rated for high-velocity and high-mass impact. EN166 certification for European standards. UV protection on all variants.

Performance Assessment

The Rush Plus covers a broad range of applications through its 10-variant lineup. The foam-lined option extends the frame's utility to dust and debris environments without requiring a separate goggle purchase. PLATINUM anti-fog maintains performance in high-humidity conditions. The CSP Indoor/Outdoor lens addresses the practical limitation of maintaining one pair across environments with variable lighting — transit between outdoor bright and indoor dim conditions without swapping eyewear.

Strengths

• 10-variant lineup including foam-lined option for sealed debris protection without a separate goggle
• PLATINUM anti-fog coating on anti-fog variants for high-performance fogging resistance
• CSP Indoor/Outdoor lens accommodates variable-light transitions in a single pair
• Multiple frame color options support crew color-coding or personal preference programs
• ANSI Z87.1+ and EN166 dual certification

Limitations

• Foam-lined variant ($21.20) is foam seal only — not a certified chemical splash goggle
• 10 variants creates selection complexity; buyers should confirm specific lens/frame combination before ordering

Recommended Use Cases

General construction, manufacturing, outdoor utilities, and mixed indoor/outdoor applications. The foam-lined variant suits dusty environments — demo, masonry, grinding — where debris exclusion is desirable without full goggle sealing. CSP Indoor/Outdoor suits facilities maintenance, warehousing, and trades with frequent indoor/outdoor transitions.

Verdict

The Bollé Rush Plus is a versatile safety glass covering most common work conditions through its broad variant range. For workers in exclusively high-humidity environments requiring maximum anti-fog performance, the Bollé Tracker's heavier frame provides more complete face seal alongside the same PLATINUM coating. For workers needing only basic protection at lower cost, DEWALT's Contractor Pro provides comparable ANSI Z87.1+ coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the foam-lined variant and when should it be used?

The foam-lined variant (40252) adds a soft foam gasket around the frame perimeter that creates a partial seal against the face, reducing the entry of airborne dust and debris compared to a non-sealed frame. It is appropriate for dusty cutting, grinding, masonry, and demolition work but is not a certified chemical splash goggle — for chemical protection, a dedicated indirect-vent chemical goggle should be evaluated.

What is the CSP Indoor/Outdoor lens?

CSP (Color Specific Purpose) Indoor/Outdoor is a lens with intermediate tint depth that provides usable vision in both indoor artificial light and outdoor ambient brightness without the extremes of clear (too dark outdoors) or smoke (too dark indoors). It is suited for workers who frequently move between indoor and outdoor environments.

What ANSI rating does the Rush Plus carry?

ANSI Z87.1+ for high-velocity and high-mass impact across all 10 variants.

Are all Rush Plus variants anti-fog?

Anti-fog variants include: White/Pink Clear AF, Red/Black Clear AF, Blue/Green Clear AF, Black/Yellow Clear AF, Black/Red Clear AF with foam, Black/Gray Twilight AF, Blue/Green Smoke AF, and Black/Gray Smoke AF. CSP Indoor/Outdoor variants are not listed as anti-fog treated.
