Oakley Sunglasses

 Oakley is mostly known for their quality sunglasses and ski goggles, and was founded by Jim Jannard in California,USA in 1975, where he developed motorbike hand grips, and then sold them at motocross events. He called them “The Oakley Grip”, and were very different to any other grips riders had been using. In the 1980’s he moved on to goggles and sunglasses, and is now a world leader in innovative design, creating new and exciting products.

 Oakley sunglasses are engineered to maintain a comfortable, secure fit. The company’s patented  “Three-Point Fit” ensures that each frame makes contact only at the bridge of the nose and behind the temples. This retains optics in perfect alignment and eliminates the discomfort of ordinary frames that hook the ears and mount with unbalanced pressure points.

All Oakley sunglasses are optical class 1, with highest quality optical properties.  They conform to the essential safety requirements of the PPE directive 89/686/EEC and meet the health and safety requirements of major international standards.

 Every single pair of Oakley polarized sunglasses achieves 99.9% efficiency in blocking polarized light waves. Harsh glare is caused by light waves bouncing off flat surfaces and water, and can be up to 10 times as bright as ambient light. With Oakley polarized lenses you’ll definitely keep the sun from impeding your vision.

Oakley’s polarization technology surpasses industry standards for clarity, performance and durability. Common techniques of incorporating polarization films into lenses by lamination (using adhesive to sandwich the film between lens layers) and drop forming (sandwiching then heating and pressing over contoured forms) can cause haziness and optical distortion. Oakley uses an injection-moulding process to infuse the lens material around the filter. This liquid fusion creates bonding at a molecular level, allowing the filter to achieve the highest possible level of performance.

The sun emits radiation in the form of tiny particles of energy called photons.  The radiation includes harmful ultra-violet (uva & uvb) radiation, which is known to cause long term damage to our skin and eyes.  The uv400 lenses fitted to all Oakley sunglasses provide 100% protection against this harmful UV radiation.

 Plutonite is used for all Oakley lenses. It is made of polycarbonate, making the lenses lightweight, offering superior comfort, clarity and protection against ultraviolet radiation and impact resistance. In fact, this impact resistant material blocks out 100% of all UVA, UVB and UVC radiation. The protection is formulated into the lens material, as opposed to a thin surface film that can become scratched, leaving dilated pupils exposed to ultraviolet leaks. Shielding has nothing to do with the darkness or colour of the lens, so even clear non-tinted Oakley lenses will still provide full UV protection.

The wrapped around, raked-back design of Oakley eyewear provides further protection by blocking UV from the periphery. The lens materials and frame geometries of Oakley sunglasses provide unsurpassed protection against high-velocity and high-mass impact.

Filter categories:

Lenses are available in various shades and a range of colours and tints.  The European standard helps you choose sunglasses by providing a system of filter categories that describe the darkness of the tint.  These filter categories are explained below.  It is important to remember that all Oakley sunglasses offer the same level of UV protection whatever the filter category.
