Our sunglasses never follow the formula of fads because
if you walk with the herd, you step in a lot of crap.
Our pros didn’t get where they are by running with
the pack, and when it comes to originality, they’re
not afraid to turn the world sideways. That was the inspiration
behind this Oakley creation, a smooth edge of street style
that lays down fresh lines and makes its own mark. If
you’re done being a slave to stale ideas, SIDEWAYS
is how you bust out of the straight-and-narrow.
Each stem of this lightweight acetate frame is signed
with a tilted, inlaid metal icon and highlighted with
chiseled grooves. We shaped the lenses with 8.75 base
curvature, which means they wrap around your eyes to extend
peripheral vision. Optical precision meets ANSI Z80.3
standards with the innovations of HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS®
(HDO®), including XYZ OPTICS® for startling clarity
at every angle of view. The durable frame is engineered
with sculpturally integrated hinges and matched with PLUTONITE®
lenses for impact protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 standards,
and the lens material filters out 100% of all UV.
This frame can be fitted with Oakley Authentic Prescription
Lenses with combined power between +2.0 and -3.0. Various
lens options are available for the non-prescription edition,
including polarized lenses that cut glare with 99% efficiency
while eliminating the haze and distortion found with ordinary
polarized optics. The optional lens with IRIDIUM®
coating balances light transmission while reducing hazy
glare.
To maintain color recognition, choose the optional Grey
lens color for medium sun brightness. Dark Grey and Grey
Polarized lenses are available for bright sun. When visual
contrast and depth perception are critical, boost them
with Dark Bronze, Bronze Polarized or VR28® Black
IRIDIUM® lens.
