Oakley Sunglasses

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.

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.

Engineering breakthroughs in structural materials allow Oakley to produce lightweight, high performance eyewear frames that maintain superior comfort and protection. The polymers used in “O Matter” frames (a nylon composite) are formulated for high durability, as well as controlled flexibility for improved safety during 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.

Filter category 0
80 - 100% light transmittance
clear or very light tint
recommended use - dimmed brightness

Filter category 1
43 - 80% light transmittance
light tint
recommended use - low brightness

Filter category 2
18 - 43% light transmittance
medium tint
recommended use - medium brightness

Filter category 3
8 - 18% light transmittance
dark tint
recommended use - high brightness

Filter category 4
3 - 8% light transmittance
very dark tint
recommended use - exceptionally high brightness

Categories 0 - 3 are not suitable for driving at night or under conditions of poor light

Category 4 is not suitable for driving or road use.
