Oakley began with an “O”
Although the Oakley name can be attributed to Jim Jannard’s English Setter, it was Oakley’s first pair of goggles released in 1980 named the O-Frame that began Oakley on a path to being the undisputed leader in high performance eyewear that it is today.
Oakley is an American company based in Orange County, California. Founded in 1975, Oakley now has more than 600 patents and leading products including premium sunglasses, goggles, prescription eyewear, apparel, footwear and accessories.
Prepared for Impact
Oakley eyewear is considered to be the best protective eyewear on the market, or as Oakley would say - "the best on the planet."
All Oakley sunglasses exceed Industrial Standards for impact protection. ANSI Z87.1 is the current standard for measuring safety in eyewear. ANSI impact resistance tests are designed to analyze protection on eyewear against possible high-mass impact and the high-velocity impact.
The metal spike test (more than a pound of weight) dropped from over four feet and the high-velocity quarter-inch steel shot test (traveling at 102 mph). In both tests the objects deflected off the lenses and no fragments of the lense or frame parts expelled during impact. These tests demonstrate the durability and safety of Oakley lenses.
No distortion, no blur, no shifting of objects
No kidding…Oakley uses a process called infusion molding which produces one comprehensive, single-layered lens. This process is done without diminishing clarity and unlike some competitors who use glue and various layers of film, Oakley High Definition Optics® (HDO®) gives you the clearest, sharpest image like no one else.
The benefit of Oakley's High Definition Optics® is being able to see the danger and then avoiding it. The lenses are made of pure Plutonite, a proprietary material that offers the highest level of optical clarity available in eyewear today.
To improve depth perception and color recognition Oakley has engineered a full spectrum of lens colors. The lenses are interchangeable, provide 100% UV filtering and help you match your optics to your environment.
Polar"Eye"zed
Everyone's eyes need protection from blinding, harmful ultraviolet light and some of the harshest light our eyes encounter on a daily basis is light that bounces off the surfaces of cars, buildings, snow, water and pavement.
Oakley Polarized lenses offer unbeatable clarity and precise filtering removing glare caused by these environments.
Soldiers Perspective
Oakley maintains US standard issue, which provides the US military and law enforcement eye protection.
The Oakley Ballistic M-Frame Glasses are APEL-approved and very popular amongst the US combat troops. Soldiers who wear them as primary eyewear find them to be lightweight, comfortable and notice that they do not slip while running
