Many people have heard about Oakley sunglasses for men and women but may be unsure why they are so popular, practically reaching cult status. This brief article aims to explain who Oakley are, how their sunglasses are made and give an idea of the range that is available.
Oakley founded their business in 1975 and produced sunglasses from a couple of years after that. From their humble beginnings in the USA, they have now become a popular brand worldwide, developing exclusive styles of sunglasses for men and women not only for the obvious, but they also produce specialist designs and ranges especially for sports use. Oakley have developed and grown by blending science and art to produce some outstanding designs that also incorporate their technologically sound High Definition Optics system.
High Definition Optics improves the quality of vision for the wearer by greatly reducing visual distortion. Oakley sunglasses for men and women have optimised polarisation exceeding 99% with coatings being moulded to the lens at the molecular level. (For more information on the technology Oakley uses visit their website.)
Oakley sunglasses come in a variety of ranges divided into active, polarised, lifestyle, special and limited editions. For example, the lifestyle range includes the Gascan range (from around 80) and these have High Definition Optics and Plutonite lenses giving 100% protection against all UV rays and provide excellent impact protection. Some ranges are coated with the Oakley HYDROPHOBIC coating that is designed to repel rain, sweat, skin oils and dust.
The Oakley range of men and womens sunglasses are certainly not cheap, but with their maximised peripheral vision and clarity, the High Definition Optics system is something pilots often insist on. An example of the polarised range of Oakley sunglasses are the Crosshair Ti. These are shielded with the Oakley Hydrophobic coating and you should be able to pick these up online for around 145 (RRP around 190).
Genuine Oakley glasses (and other products including snow goggles) carry the distinctive O which you should look for to ensure they are not cheap replicas. Although one would not recommend sitting on them often, they are hard-wearing and will keep their looks for a long time making them a good investment against non-branded mass produced High Street store men and womens sunglasses.
