Mad Moxxi has long been an icon in the Borderlands universe: larger than life, dripping with glamor, danger, and flirty danger in equal measure. Now, she serves as muse for the latest drop from GUNNAR Optiks’ Borderlands 4 Collection. The “Moxxi” glasses are part fashion, part performance gear—and all attitude.
Design That Lives Loud
The Mad Moxxi glasses lean into steampunk and theatrical aesthetics to reflect Moxxi’s bold persona. Some of the standout design elements include:
- A round stainless-steel frame finished in gold tone.
- Mesh side shields that are removable, adding a flair of mystery and stage presence.
- Deep red temple arms that mirror Moxxi’s signature color scheme.
- Heart motifs: a heart engraving etched into the lens, and golden heart details at the temple tips, subtle nods to her style.
Everything about the aesthetic feels intentional—to look like something you’d pull off during a high-stakes casino night on Pandora (or whatever frontier comes next).
Technology & Practical Features
Beyond the showmanship, the Moxxi glasses deliver on utility. GUNNAR builds in several features aimed at eye protection, comfort, and durability:
- GUNNAR’s patented lens technology, which helps block blue light and provide relief in long screen-use sessions.
- G-Shield Plus coating on the lenses, which offers anti-reflective and smudge-resistant properties.
- Full UV protection, so these aren’t just for inside gaming setups—they hold up under outdoor light too.
- Flexible hinges to accommodate movement, while balancing sturdiness.
Lens tint options are available to match different lighting and usage preferences. Buyers can select among GUNNAR’s Amber, Sun, or Amber Max tints.
