For years, Oakley has been the leading name in sports eyewear. Oakley has sponsered such professional X-Game athletes as Brian Lopes, Mike Metzger, Gretchen Bleiler, Kristi Leskinen, and countless others. Whether it's BMX biking, snowboarding, golf, motor sports, or everything in between, the athletes all share the need for optics that withstand the harshest environments and deliver the absolute best in clarity.
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.
"Whether you're changing your look or optimizing your vision for changing light conditions, Oakley offers a full spectrum of lens color options..." Learn more about Oakley Sunglasses found at FramesDirect.com.
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.
