In competition, the world’s best athletes lay down
lines that no one else can hope to follow. We bring that
idea to eyewear, styling it with art that has no equal.
SPLINTER is a look of street sophistication that takes
inspiration from Oakley athletes, and if you look closely,
you can see the character of our best sport frames in
the sleek sculpture of C-5™ alloy. We used that unique
blend of five metal compounds to achieve premium durability
with low weight, and it’s just one reason why SPLINTER
earns our metal icons.
Even the best style in the world is nothing without comfort,
so we designed SPLINTER with custom-engineered spring
hinges and added UNOBTAINIUM® sleeves to the temples.
That way, SPLINTER maintains a secure fit that stays comfortably
in place, even when you sweat. The frame makes contact
only at the sides of the head and the bridge of the nose,
taking full advantage of Oakley’s Three-Point Fit
that holds the lenses in precise optical alignment.
The lenses are made of pure PLUTONITE®, a material
that filters out 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful
blue light up to 400nm. Ultraviolet light can sneak around
the sides of any sunglass lens, so we engineered SPLINTER
with 8.75-base lens curvature to maximize protection.
Doing that was no simple task because extreme lens contours
can affect vision. That’s why we invented XYZ OPTICS®,
a patented technology that maintains visual clarity along
the entire lens contour, even in the periphery. Put it
all together and you have sunglasses with a level of clarity
and impact protection that meets all ANSI Z80.3 standards.
This frame is available with Oakley Authentic Prescription
Lenses (+2.00 through -3.00 combined power), and other
premium options are available. Oakley HDPolarized lenses
eliminate 99% of blinding glare without the haze and optical
distortion common to ordinary polarized lenses. You can
also get IRIDIUM® lens coatings that reduce glare
while balancing light transmission to give you the best
vision possible.
