NEWS: GUNNAR x 2K Launch Mad Moxxi Glasses for Borderlands 4

By Jon Donnis

GUNNAR Optiks' have done it again. Time after time they prove why they sit at the top of the pile when it comes to gaming eyewear, and their latest collaboration with 2K Games is no different. The new Borderlands 4 inspired design, built around the larger-than-life character Mad Moxxi, is as bold and unapologetic as the woman herself.


The first thing that hits you is the look. Steampunk at heart, the glasses come with a round stainless steel frame finished in gold, complete with removable mesh side shields that add a mix of style and practicality. Subtle details like heart engravings on the lenses and temple tips nod directly to Moxxi's signature flair, while the deep red arms echo her unmistakable colour scheme. It's the sort of design that manages to be playful and daring at the same time, exactly what fans would hope for in a Borderlands tie-in.

Of course, with GUNNAR it's never just about appearance. Their patented lens technology is the benchmark for gamers, offering protection from digital eye strain, blocking harmful blue light, and shielding against glare and smudges thanks to their G-Shield coating. The slight magnification is a clever touch, sharpening focus and reducing fatigue over long sessions. Add in the wraparound style that helps keep eyes from drying out during those marathon raids and you have a pair of glasses that are as functional as they are striking.


Every pair comes packaged with the attention to detail you'd expect from both GUNNAR and 2K. There's a collector's case, a pouch decorated with Borderlands motifs, and even a cleaning cloth featuring Moxxi herself. It feels more like an exclusive loot drop than just another accessory.

The tie-in with Borderlands 4 makes perfect sense. This isn't a quick licensing deal, it's a genuine celebration of a character that's become iconic in gaming. Moxxi's charisma, her edge, her sense of theatre, it's all there in the design. For fans, it's a chance to carry a bit of Pandora's chaos into everyday life.


GUNNAR Optiks' have repeatedly proven they make the best glasses for gamers, and the Mad Moxxi release underlines that reputation. Stylish, protective, and built with players in mind, this is an accessory that feels essential rather than optional. And for Borderlands fans, it's about as epic a crossover as you could hope for.

NEWS: GUNNAR Optiks Raises the Bar Again with the Stunning Tioga Glasses

Tioga Glasses

By Jon Donnis

GUNNAR Optiks has outdone itself again with the Tioga, and it is the kind of pair that makes you sit up and take notice. From the moment you pick them up, you can tell these are designed for people who care about both style and performance. They feel solid yet light in the hand, and once you put them on, the fit just clicks. It is easy to forget you are even wearing them, which is exactly what you want from glasses you plan to use all day.

The inspiration comes from Lake Tioga, and the clarity and purity of that image are reflected in the design. The frames are a modern round shape that manages to look bold without feeling flashy. Italian acetate combined with lightweight carbon fibre reinforced wood gives them a premium feel. The finishes, Maroon Rosewood and Gray Crystal Walnut, are rich and sophisticated, the kind of colours you notice but in a subtle way. You can imagine wearing them at work, in a cafe, or walking around the city. Flexible spring hinges make them comfortable on the nose and behind the ears, and at just over an ounce, you quickly forget they are even there.


Then there are the lenses. GUNNAR has long been known for its lens technology, and Tioga delivers it in full force. Optically pure mineral glass is incredibly scratch-resistant and durable, which is a relief if you are clumsy or like to toss your glasses in a bag. The G-Shield coating blocks blue light and UV rays, which makes a real difference for anyone who spends long hours at a computer or gaming late into the night. Whether you are streaming your favourite game, writing emails, or scrolling through social media, your eyes are under less strain, and everything looks sharper.

The lens options make them even more appealing. The 65 GBLF Amber lenses help reduce eye fatigue and glare for longer comfort, while the 20 GBLF Clear Pro lenses give unmatched clarity and colour fidelity. It is the kind of choice that feels like it was designed for real people with real lives, not just for the sake of a marketing claim.


The real highlight for me is that Tioga can be fitted with prescription lenses. That changes everything. These are not just gaming or office glasses anymore. They can become your everyday eyewear. You get the benefits of GUNNAR technology combined with your exact prescription, which means you do not have to compromise style for vision. You can wear them at work, at home, or out on the town and get the same comfort, clarity, and protection. That versatility is rare, and it is something GUNNAR has clearly considered.

It is also worth noting the attention to detail. Every curve, every angle, and every material feels carefully chosen. The frames are lightweight but strong, the hinges are responsive without feeling stiff, and the lens coating is smooth and effective. You do not have to fight with these glasses; they feel natural. They are functional, but also undeniably stylish.


After wearing the Tioga for a while, you start to appreciate how much thought has gone into making them feel premium in every sense. It is not just about looking good; it is about feeling good, seeing better, and reducing strain in ways that you notice almost immediately. That combination of practicality and elegance is hard to find.

GUNNAR has proven once again why they are number one on the field. The Tioga is more than just a pair of glasses. It is a tool, a fashion statement, and a reliable companion for gaming sessions, office hours, or everyday life. For anyone who cares about both performance and style, these glasses are an easy choice. They are versatile, protective, and genuinely exciting to wear. After seeing and trying the Tioga, it is hard to imagine wanting any other pair of glasses.
