Oakley Goggles Key Features

If you want the unbeatable performance of High Definition Optics (HDO), there's only one company on the planet that can make your ski goggles. HDO is just one of the technologies from Oakley's 30 year legacy of goggle innovation. There's no fogging, no visual distortion or glare and no buildup up of sweat and itching. And no wonder why Oakley goggles are the choice of today's leading ski and snowboard riders.

Oakley ski goggles are worn by snow sports’ elite including Shaun White, Eero Ettala because they know Oakley goggles take airflow, anti-fog and lens design technologies and juice them up with 100% UV filtering, unrivaled impact protection, and a big scoop of Oakley attitude. Oakley snow goggles feature the following exclusive Oakley technologies:  

HDO

High Definition Optics: Available only from Oakley goggles, HDO offers unbeatable performance by analysing prismatic power, prismatic imbalance, refractive power, lens astigmatism and pattern definition. Oakley utilises proprietry technologies like XYZ Optics to surpass these tests. HDO also includes Oakley's 100% UV filtering, as well as impact protection worthy of sports professionals.

Oakley's XYZ Optics maimises clarity at all angles of vision, even at the lens periphery where conventional lenses cause visual distortion. A standard feature of Oakley Stockholm goggles, Oakley Splice goggles, Oakley A Frame goggles and Oakley Crowbar ski goggles, the technology allows Oakley to create lens contours that extend the wearer's peripheral and up/down view.

Impact Resistance

When Oakley designs goggles, protection is at the forefront. The most stringent impact testing is called ANSI Z87.1. The High Velocity test uses a stainless steel ball travelling at 172mph. The High Mass test uses a 500g conical tipped missile dropped from a height of 50 inches. Drop ball is a test that targets the lens with a 1 inch steel ball from a height of 50 inches, and the Penetration test uses a 44g #25 needle dropped from 50 inches. 

Fit/Comfort

Developed with a 3-D CAD/CAM engineering for a true anatomical fit, Oakley ski goggles are designed to offer the highest level of comfort while maintaining a continuous seal that allows moisture to wick away from the skin. Premium Oakley goggles take advantage of triple-layer foam with polar fleece for optimised comfort. All Oakley goggles are sized to maximise your visual field while fitting comfortably and efficiently with most ski helmets. Oakley Crowbar goggles and Oakley Splice goggles feature 'outrigger' strap attachments while Oakley A Frame goggles and Oakley Ambush goggles utilise articulating strap clips, all of which distribute pressure evenly on the face with or without a ski helmet.

Anti-Fog

The Oakley Crowbar goggles, Oakley A Frame goggles, Oakley Splice goggles and Oakley Stockholm snow goggles use Oakley's proprietry F3 anti-fog coating on their inner ballistic lens. To prevent fog build up, each of these lenses can absorb a minimum of 2ml of water. Lexan lens equipped Oakley goggles (such as Oakley O Frame goggles and Ambush goggles) utilise F2, and anti-fog coating process developed specifically for cylindrical lens ski goggles.
All Oakley ski and snowboard goggles undergo vigorous testing to ensure lens and frame venting is evenly balanced to further eliminate fog build up.

Iridium Lens Coatings

Optional Iridium lens coatings reduce glare and increase contrast for improved depth perception, even under the flat light of overcast skies.

Oakley HDPolarized

Oakley HDPolarized technology surpasses industry standard for clarity, performance and durability. Common techniques of incorporating polarisation films into lenses by lamination (using adhesive to sandwich the film between lens layers) and drop forming (sandwiching then heating and pressing over contoured forms) can cause haziness and optical distortion. Instead, Oakley ski goggles use an injection-molding process to infuse the lens material around the filter. The liquid fusion creates bonding at the molecular level, allowing the filter to achieve the highest possible level of performance.

Team

Oakley goggles are worn by some of the top ski and snowboard riders in the world, including Shaun White, Terje Haakonsen, Gretchen Bleiler and Lindsey Voss.
