Oakley has also broken the technology barrier by combining today's hip audio trends
to their catalog featuring the highly-acclaimed
Oakley Thump
,
Oakley Thump 2
that stores and plays your favorite MP3's in
your Oakleys. Also, in a breakthrough partnership with Motorola, Oakley brings you
the new
Razrwire
,
utilizing Bluetooth technology that allows you hands-free mobile phone access in
your Oakley Sunglasses! Both the Thump and Razrwire models can be customized with
your prescription.
World-famous Oakley Sunglasses can be made with or without a prescription. Oakley
prescription lenses are ground to your individual prescription with optical precision
that exceeds industry standards. The Oakley RX system maps light rays in a 3D grid
to achieve precise coordination with your optical lobes and the entire surface of
each custom ground lens.

Oakley prescription lenses are engineered with our proprietary Plutonite, an ultra-lightweight
material that provides you optimum performance with maximum comfort.
Oakley RX lenses utilize color inherent technology that integrates the color deep
within the lens material. Plutonite lenses are never tinted so the color is always
rich and permanent and unlike surface tints, it will never fade. Popular RX frames
models for these lenses include
Oakley O Matter
,
Oakley Wires
and
Oakley Rimless
eyeglasses.
Protection against ultraviolet light has nothing to do with lens color. The protection
is built into Oakley's Plutonite® lens material, so full UV filtering is a standard
feature with all Oakley lenses, no matter what the hue. Even clear Oakley lenses
block 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light. The raked-back curvature
of Oakley eyewear provides further protection by blocking UV from the periphery.

Optional Iridium® lens coatings allow you to tune transmission for specific
light conditions. Superheated metal oxides are fused to the lens at the molecular
level, permanently bonding to create an optically uniform layer.
Superior Impact Protection
Oakley premium eyewear surpasses the protection requirements for high-mass impact,
as defined by The American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Part of an industrial
standard called ANSI Z87.1, the high-mass impact test requires that the lens be
hit by a 500-gram metal spike (over a pound of weight) dropped from a height of
51.2 inches (over four feet). To pass the test, no frame parts or lens fragments
that could damage the eye may be ejected during impact.

|
Oakley premium eyewear also surpasses the ANSI Z87.1 test for high-velocity impact
protection. For this test, a pneumatic cannon accelerates a quarter-inch steel shot
to 102 miles per hour. The lens is targeted straight on from three different heights,
and at seven different angles. To pass the high-velocity test, no contact between
the lens and eye is permitted during impact. In addition, no frame parts or lens
fragments that could damage the eye may be ejected during impact.

To pass the high-velocity test, no contact between the lens and eye is permitted
during impact. In addition, no frame parts or lens fragments that could damage the
eye may be ejected during impact.
This test is designed to analyze protection against low-mass objects traveling at
high speed. Real-world scenarios include being hit by kicked-up gravel while riding
a motorcycle or speeding into rockslide pebbles while freeride mountain biking.
The unique materials and geometries of Oakley's lens/frame combinations allow the
company's premium eyewear to exceed the protection requirements of the high-velocity
impact test.
