It was only a matter of time. Oakley have been perfecting
open-edge lens architecture for years, giving athletes
like runners and cyclists a full field of vision with
no frame rim to block downward view. In a completely separate
lab, our metallurgists were toying with 425,000 watts
of plasma lightning to shape X METAL®, an ultra-lightweight
titanium alloy. Somehow the performance fanatics and the
metal heads got together and spawned a design that mixes
art and science so completely, you can't tell where
one ends and the other begins. This is what happens when
our athletes and engineers are allowed to mingle without
an adequate supply of paint balls.
Here's where it goes over the top: The lenses are
optimized with Oakley HYDROPHOBIC™ coating, a permanent
shield against water sheens and a smudge-resistant barrier
against skin oils and lotions. That means the unbeatable
clarity of HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) stays
razor sharp and clear, and with lens contours that maximize
peripheral view, it's a performance advantage that
borders on unfair. You also get the industrial-level impact
resistance and 100% UV filtering of pure PLUTONITE®
lenses, plus optional IRIDIUM® lens coatings that
reduce glare and balance light transmission.
This lightweight all-metal frame stays in place with
a Three-Point Fit that takes advantage of supple UNOBTAINIUM®
components, specially formulated to increase grip with
sweat. Custom-engineered spring hinges add even more comfort.
