They surpass expectations, stand up to the extremes of extreme sports, and make an emphatic style statement, too. While you’re going for your personal best, there’s no reason not to look great getting theretheir own. They surpass expectations, stand up to the extremes of extreme sports, and make an  Oakley is devoted to authenticity, to making the best products on the planet by letting invention lead the way. Fueled by the synergy of uniting design and production under a single roof, its visionaries are compelled to identify problems, created solutions, and wrap those solutions in art. Their pursuit of perfection is inspired every time an athlete chooses to wear Oakley equipment in competition, not because they're paid to do so, but because it pays to do so. For a quarter of a century, Oakley has been obsessed with the design and manufacture of inventions that defy convention. Driven by contempt for the commonplace, the company has dedicated itself to creating products that dismiss the standard and stretch the human imagination Standards for optical purity and protection are set by ANSI, the American National Standards Institute. ANSI has developed a testing series called Z87.1 that establishes rigid guidelines for lab analysis. Oakley’s Plutonite® lenses exceed the optical performance requirements of ANSI Z87.1 while providing superior protection against high-mass and high-velocity impact. Our durable, lightweight lens material blocks 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light. Oakley® shredded the blueprints of spherical shielding. A complete reinvention of single-lens optics, POLARIC ELLIPSOID™ geometry spans the full visual range with breathtaking clarity. Precise contouring provides the best possible equalization between each point along the arc of a lens and the wearer's eyes. This minimizes distortion at all angles of vision. This breakthrough allows dual-spherical lenses to convey light waves with unmatched fidelity. By providing correction along three axes--not just two--XYZ Optics™ maintains clarity over the full angular range while minimizing distortion caused by refraction. It allows for wrapped, raked-back configurations that maximize peripheral vision and protection against sun, wind, and side impact.

PLUTONITE Oakley's proprietary lens material inherently blocks 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light. Durable, lightweight Plutonite® provides startling optical clarity and protection against high-mass and high-velocity impact, exceeding the ANSI Z87.1 performance requirements of the American National Standards Institute. A critical mass of optical technology, High Definition Optics® (HDO®) is the fusion of POLARIC ELLIPSIOD lens geometry, XYZ Optics, and Plutonite lens material. HDO maintains precise angulation and correction for lens astigmatism, refractive power, optical clarity, prismatic power, and imbalance, basically anything that can come between your optic nerve and the rest of the world.

IRIDIUM Metallic oxides are vaporized at extreme temperatures and fused to the lens at the molecular level. By varying the composition and degree of saturation, Oakley Iridium® can produce a spectrum of lens hues, tailoring transmission from 9 to 92% of available light. Each lens coating is specifically formulated for optimum balance between reflection, transmission, and absorption.

POLARIZATION A performance advantage in sports applications, polarization shields the retina from eye-cringing glare. Oakley rejected the industry standards and devised an injection molding process that infuses the lens material around the intricated polarizer. This protects the filter, minimizes distortion, and maximizes visual acuity. Polarized Oakley eyewear benefits from the UV and impact protection of Plutonite lens material, the glare reduction and contrast enhancement of Iridium lens coatings, and the wide-angle clarity of XYZ Optics. Proprietary geometry allows for wrapped, raked-back configurations that maximize peripheral vision and protection.

FRAME TECHNOLOGY Oakley's three-point fit ensures that frames contact the wearer only at the bridge of the nose and the temples, providing comfort and adaptability. Oakley X Metal® combines a new metallurgical process with innovations in architectural mechanics. O Matter® frames are engineered with flexible polycarbonate that minimizes weight while maximizing durability. Wires™ are created with an ultra-lightweight alloy of five metallic compounds. Unobtainium® earsocks and nosebombs provide a soft yet secure grip, increasing adhesion with perspiration. emphatic style statement, too. While you’re going for your personal best, there’s no reason.
