About Oakley Sunglasses
As the undisputed leader in performance eyewear, Oakley continues to advance sport technology and redefine the lifestyle market with patented optical innovations. Numerous patents have been awarded to the inventions behind the company's High Definition Optics® (HDO®). HDO® virtually eliminates the problems of ordinary lenses, including distortion that bends light (so objects aren't really where they appear to be) and optical flaws that magnify images in the manner of prescription lenses made for somebody else.
Eyewear is our passion. Some may say we're obsessed and that's okay. Since 1978, Oakley has led the way in maximizing lens style and technical performance. Right now, it's only getting better for you. Oakley polarized lenses are engineered with a liquid infusion process that bonds the polarizing filter at the molecular level, eliminating the haze and distortion found in conventional technologies. Below are seven exclusive Oakley technologies that put our polarized lenses at the top of the game. We make the difference, and you reap the benefits when you strap a pair of Oakley's on your head.
* High Definition Optics® (HDO®) - All Oakley polarized lenses utilize HDO®, a collection of technologies that include patented innovations for unbeatable optical clarity and performance.
* Axis of Polarization - The orientation of the polarizing filter is critical for performance, so Oakley polarized lenses maintain the uncompromising precision of EN1836 standards.
* Infusion Molding - Our lens material bonds to the polarizing filter at the molecular level to eliminate haze and distortion.
* Lens Colors - You can match your optics to your environment by choosing from a spectrum of optional lens tints.
* Polarized Emission - This measure of polarization efficiency exceeds 99% in Oakley polarized lenses, a performance level unsurpassed in the industry.
* Impact Resistance - Oakley performance eyewear meets all impact resistance standards of the American National Standards Institute.
* HydrophobicTM - Oakley Hydrophobic technology helps keep vision clear and sharp by preventing water buildup and repelling oils and contaminants.
About Oakley Goggles
Sports categories that rely on Oakley goggle technology include motocross, snowboarding, skiing, BMX and mountain biking. Launched in 2006, OAKLEY STOCKHOLMTM was created specifically to offer women the ultimate in goggle performance technology. The company's 3D cranial geometry ensures a precise fit, and innovations such as ram-air surge ports provide fog-cutting airflow that is augmented with F3 anti-fog coating. Optically correct Oakley goggle lenses are engineered to maximize peripheral and downward vision while optimizing impact protection. In addition, a legacy of decades in motocross has resulted in the most optically advanced tear-off system in the industry.
