Whether you're changing your look or optimizing
your vision for changing light conditions, Oakley offers a
full spectrum of lens color options. More than 40 lens
hues have been
formulated to precisely balance transmission, absorption and
reflection of light, depending on the targeted environment
for usage. Oakley optics are made of lightweight Plutonite® lens
material, an innovation that blocks 100% of all UV while maintaining
superior impact resistance.
Optional Iridium® lens coatings
are engineered to tune transmission for specific light conditions.
Oakley technology also produces the best polarized lenses on
the planet. Even prescription correction is available, achieved
with custom-ground optical precision that exceeds industry standards.
Oakley Sunglasses
Oakley was founded in 1975 by Jim Jannard, CEO
and Chairman of the Board. The success of its first product
line, handgrips for motocross motorcycles, led the company
to expand
into the design and manufacture of motocross goggles in 1980.
The prominently displayed Oakley name on the goggles quickly
gained recognition and helped establish Oakley's reputation
for functional quality and unique design.
By 1984, using the
knowledge
gained in designing, manufacturing and marketing goggles, the
company produced its first high-performance sunglass, the Eyeshades®.
The company has developed and secured over 600 patents and 800
trademarks worldwide and has incorporated those technologies
into numerous new sunglass lines including M Frames®, Zeros®,
E Wires®, A Wires®, Eye Jackets®, Moons®, the
X-Metal® series Mars®, Romeo® and Juliet®,
and a completely new thinking in eyewear called OVERTHETOPT.
The
Oakley product matrix has been expanded to now include footwear,
apparel, watches and a prescription eyewear line.
