When the premier edition of OIL DRUM sunglasses hit the
streets, people got out of its way. That kind of thing
tends to happen when a perfect storm of science and art
makes style so aggressively original that it calls down
its own thunder. The idea of outdoing it was the furthest
thing from our minds but when the legends of sports, music
and life called it their own, we felt obligated. This
new edition comes with redesigned stems that carve even
more dimension with sculptural grooves and new icons.
Durable yet lightweight O MATTER® frame material
is shaped with a unique geometry that offers a comfortable
fit on medium to large faces. We engineered it with sculpturally
integrated hinges that work with dual cam action, and
shaped the contours to create 8.75 base lens curvature.
That's how it offers such a wide peripheral view,
and thanks to HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) and
XYZ OPTICS®, you get razor-sharp clarity at every
angle of vision. PLUTONITE® lens material helps protect
that vision with 100% UV filtering. All that technology
achieves a design that meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for
optical performance and impact protection.
This frame can be fitted with Oakley Authentic Prescription
Lenses (+2.0 to -3.0 combined power) in a wide range of
options. For the non-prescription version, you can choose
lenses with IRIDIUM® coating that balances light transmission
and reduces glare. Optional Oakley polarized lenses remove
99% of glare without the haze and optical distortion found
with ordinary polarized lenses. As far as lens color,
go with Black IRIDIUM® or Grey Polarized for truer
color perception in bright sun, or Grey for the same benefit
in medium-bright sun. Select the Dark Bronze or Bronze
Polarized lenses for enhanced visual contrast and improved
depth perception in bright sunlight.
