Buy Oakley Sunglasses Online

A Giant in the Industry

Oakley is undoubtedly one of the planet's most famous eyewear manufacturers. The iconic company logo "O" on the side of the temple alone has become a symbol that no longer needs introduction anywhere in the world. Originally designed for motor sports, the eyewear brand is well-known in the sports eyewear and sunglasses industry. The dedicated team of designers works closely together with top athletes to get inspired by their experiences and further improve the already high-quality standards. Above all, the brand scores with its customers for modern designs and the combination of organic and artificial elements which lend the extravagant shapes their very own look.

The Name Oakley

James Jannard, who started his one-man business in his own garage in 1975 with $300 in seed money, named the company not after the famous markswoman, Annie Oakley, but after his dog, an English Setter.

The first product - the innovative B-1B handle for BMX handlebars, which was grippier rather than slippery when wet or in contact with sweat. Jannard sold them from the boot of his car at motocross events.

In 1980, the founder of Oakley then designed the first safety goggles under the name O-Frame, whose design also served as inspiration for the relevant logo. Four years later, the Oakley range expanded to include the sports glasses "eyeshades". However, the rapid rise to a global brand did not begin until the three-time Tour de France winner Greg Lemond began using the company's products.

Today, it’s hard to imagine Oakley not being worn by stars and starlets. Actors like Bradley Cooper, Reese Witherspoon, Antonio Banderas and Jessica Biel never leave the house without them. For motorcycle superstar Valentino Rossi and Pippa Middleton, sister of the Duchess of Cambridge and sister-in-law to Prince William, there is no alternative to the innovative lenses and future-oriented eyeglass frames of the subsidiary of the Luxoticca Group.

Not only stars choose Oakley sunglasses but also the film industry in Hollywood. Oakley Sunglasses for men and women alike have already made famous appearances in action films such as Black Hawk Down, X-Men, Blade 2, Mission Impossible 2, Drive Angry and Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

It's this worldwide success that makes Oakley eyewear one of the most counterfeited eyeglasses in the world. Which is why the names "Foakley" (fake Oakley) or Joke-ley have gained notoriety all over the globe. Spellings such as Oakly or Oclay can be found on the imitations and fakes, which have already appeared in some renowned Internet shops.

The 33 Chilean miners did not have to worry about imitations in October 2010 when a journalist who reported on the ten-week mine accident contacted the company. The reporter inquired if Oakley would donate sunglasses to the workers who urgently needed eye protection after weeks in the dark. The company didn't have to be asked twice and sent 35 pairs of Oakley eyeglasses from their Oakley Radar sports glasses with a special tint.

Sunglasses Models

The Oakley Holbrook is a timeless frame in a classic design, which blends in with cutting-edge technology. Inspired by the movie stars of the 1940s, 50s and 60s, the sunglasses equally rely on performance and style.

Oakely's Gascan, on the other hand, is not the standard equipment of a pyromaniac. Instead, the design is so unique that even the oval logo had to be specially adapted for the frame.

When referring to Frogskins, the company isn't speaking of a more or less questionable French delicacy. In fact, it is a unique eyewear design from the 80s.

The Oakley Jawbreaker doesn't refer to a new term in the boxing but is still the flagship model for top athletes.

At the same time, the Half Jacket 2.0 has nothing in common with the sequel to Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam masterpiece, except that the lens technology in combination with the futuristic frame is no less uncompromising, so that both top and amateur athletes can keep up with the competition in the changing light.

A fuel cell is not for storing energy but rather an energy converter. The same applies to the Fuel Cell. The model is a mixture of art and technology to draw clear lines for those who not only want to walk through life but also leave their footprints behind.

With Flak 2.0, Oakley raises its performance to a new level, at the same time also taking the style on the journey. The eyewear model offers a full-size frame, whose special feature is an increased lense surface, where every millimeter is designed to optimize the peripheral vision and be a protection against wind and weather.

With Oakley Twoface, the eyewear manufacturer is not alluding to Harvey Dent from the Batman universe but has undeniably relied on its surfing and skating tradition, combining two different materials, O Matter® and aluminum, to create an expressive look.

With the Oil Rig, Oakley has thrown conventional thinking out the window and imposed on its designers an embargo for typical shapes. The result is a unique rig that truly stands out from the crowd.

Glass Properties and Technologies

Oakley Prizm is a revolutionary lens technology that tunes your vision precisely to the respective environments or to the wearer's needs in certain sports.

While the concept behind Oakley High Definition Optics is, in principle, self-explanatory, HD Polarized is not to be mistaken for the next technical level in the entertainment sector but is rather glare control providing uncompromising clarity. These are sunglass lenses with a special filter that protects the eyes by filtering reflected light from snow and water surfaces.

The same applies to OO® Red Iridium® Polarized. The lenses are a must, especially for cyclists and runners, as glaring light on flat surfaces can quickly lead to eyestrain. As much as 99% of the glare effects from paths and asphalt are neutralized, which also leads to improved depth perception.

Oakley’s Plutonite® lens material is a durable and optically pure lens material, which guarantees exceptional impact protection that goes far beyond the norm. The glasses are put to the test under extreme conditions, as Oakley is committed to continually bringing the highest performing eyewear to market. In addition, Oakley's unique manufacturing process allows even clear lenses to filter 100% of the harmful UV rays, preventing eye diseases such as snow blindness or opacity of the eye lens.

The so-called True Digital™ (OTD) correction lenses provide a stable and clear view, as well as a good peripheral vision. The conception of the lenses was specifically aimed at the "high horizontal" frames which are curved along the sides. This reduces blurring and distortion to a minimum so that movements in the peripheral visual field are better perceived. And with the OTD Edge™ you are going beyond the limits of your own prescription. Because of this technology, the selection of lenses for "high horizontal" sunglasses could be extended from +4.00 to -6.00. Thus, advantages, such as the extended peripheral field of view, have become favourites among customers.

With TruBridge™ Technology wearers of Oakley eyewear don’t have to worry about missing a trend. The revolutionary technology adapts to the width and depth of the wearer’s nasal bridge in the form of four different types of nose bridges, which guarantee a perfect fit.

Lenses which automatically darken or adjust their colour, depending on the respective light intensity, are called photochromic / photochromatic / phototropic. Self-tinting lenses are often used in the field of optics to protect against changing light conditions.

Equipment

The Oakley Microbag not only serves to store the glasses, but can also be used as a spectacle cloth, so that the best glasses on the planet get the proper care. The bag is made of microfine material, which is why it was christened "Microclear" and should be the only thing that touches your lenses.

With the purchase of glasses, the purchase of a corresponding eyewear case is almost essential. Again, Oakley can serve with a small but fine and elegant selection. Soft- and hardcover cases are also, of course, included. Particularly recommended are the cases from the Vault series, in which the models are as safe as in Fort Knox.

They may be called auxiliary glasses, but Oakley's interchangeable or replacement lenses are simply not off the shelf, but each pair is custom-made and, of course, subject to the same quality and care standards that have made the Oakley brand world-famous.

Leashes for sunglasses are also a part of the inventory. Nevertheless, like all the other accessories, the Americans don't do things by halves. Instead, there are adjustable quality leashes made of durable nylon with fasteners made of Unobtainium®.

Tinfoil® has absolutely nothing to do with aluminum foil. In fact, it is the result of Oakley reflecting on its industrial design tradition by combining mechanized hinges with stainless steel, to shake up the conventional world of metal frames.
