Oakley Split Jacket Sunglasses - Polarised Lens

Lenses

• OO Black Polarised Vented - 12% light transmission for bright sunlight conditions, Oakley HDpolarised technology for total clarity and glare reduction. Protection index 3. Vents provide airflow and prevent misting.


• Yellow Vented - 90 light transmission for flat to low light conditions. High contrast lens, ideal for low-light sport applications such as target shooting or night skiing/snowboarding.

Oakley HDPolarised
Oakley HDPolarised technology surpasses the industry standards for clarity, performance and durability. Oakley uses an exclusive injection moulding process to infuse the lens material around the filter, this liquid creates a bond at molecular level, allowing the filter to achieve the highest possible level of performance. Common techniques of incorporating polarisation films into lenses by lamination include using adhesive to sandwich the film between lens layers or using heat and pressure to bond the film between layers; these methods can cause haziness and distortion.

Switchlock Technology
With Oakley’s new Switchlock Technology, the lower part of the rim opens to allow easy access for quick lens changing, letting you optimize performance in any light condition. The revolutionary design holds the lenses with a suspension system so stresses on the frame won’t affect the optics. With ordinary frames, flexing can change the surface contours of the lenses, causing optical distortion. The new architecture ensures there’s nothing to diminish the unbeatable clarity of High Definition Optics® (HDO®), and you still get the optimized comfort and fit of a flexible frame design.

Iridium Lens Coating
Oakley Iridium lens coatings allow the wearer to tune transmission for any light condition. Superheated metallic oxides are fused to the lens at molecular level, permanently bonding to create a uniform filtering layer that optimises contrast and minimises glare. Tuned to transmit from 9 to 92 percent of available light, the coatings are specifically formulated for optimal balance between reflection, transmission and absorption, depending on the targeted environment for usage.

Pivot the nose piece to unlock the lower jaw and open it for easy lens changing. There’s minimal handling involved, so dirty fingers don’t get all over the lens. The quick-release system closes with a cam that locks each lens securely in place.

Oakley Tree-Point Fit
Oakley engineered the pivoting system with a release mechanism that lets you remove and replace the nose piece with a different size to customize the fit. A comfortably secure fit is essential for athletic competition, so Oakley started this new design with the company’s legendary Three-Point Fit. Instead of hooking the ears like conventional frames, a Three-Point Fit ensures the frame touches the wearer only at the bridge of the nose and the sides of the head. Oakley combined the proprietary fit with specialized bridge geometry and strategically placed flex zones to give the frame a broad range of flexibility while directing stresses away from the lenses. That way, the optics can do their job without the distortion of subtle bending and bowing.
