GUNNAR is no stranger when it comes to collaborations, and their latest is with one of the most anticipated games this year. The GUNNAR x Borderlands 4 Ripper is different from the other GUNNAR glasses I’ve checkout out in the past, mainly because these are sunglasses and not computer glasses. These aren’t ordinary sunglasses though. With bold outlines and flat shading that give the frames a comic book feel, this design reflects the raw, untamed essence of the Borderlands universe.
DESIGN
The GUNNAR Ripper is a wrap-style sunglasses frame meant to match the curvature of your face. The frames are made from a precision-engineered polymer material, which is noted for being both durable and lightweight. The design also incorporates multi-barrel hinges for a secure and comfortable fit.
A collector’s microfiber pouch and collector’s microfiber cleaning cloth are included to keep your GUNNAR Ripper clean and safe when not in use.
EXPERIENCE
The primary function of these glasses is to provide eye protection. They are equipped with GUNNAR’s patented lens technology, which blocks 100% of UV light and a significant amount of harmful blue light. This technology aims to combat symptoms of eye strain such as headaches, dry eyes, and fatigue, while also providing protection from the sun.
FINAL THOUGHTS
The GUNNAR x Borderlands 4 Ripper glasses are a strong choice for fans of the Borderlands franchise and gamers in general. They successfully merge a unique, game-inspired aesthetic with the functional benefits of blue light-blocking technology. The durable build and comfortable fit make them a reliable accessory for long-term use. While they may not be for everyone due to the distinct design, they are highly recommended for those looking for a stylish and effective way to protect their eyes.
