Oakley Wind Jacket Sunglasses

The Oakley Wind Jacket Sunglasses are a special rendition of Oakley's renowned Split Jacket sunglass. The Wind Jacket has been engineered with snap-in gaskets for a protective seal and added a removable strap for a secure fit. Originally designed with motorcycle riders in mind, the removable gasket minimizes air flow across your eyes at high speeds. Complete with Switchlock™ Technology for quick and easy lens changing. This interchangeable lens design is essential gear for any life with high velocity.

Attach the eye gaskets when you’re headed out to face the wind, or remove them when you want the look of regular sunglasses. Of course there’s nothing regular about Oakley Wind Jacket Sunglasses, and the sport-inspired styling is highlighted with true metal icons.

The Oakley Wind Jacket sunglasses come with a hard storage case and two sets of lenses, tinted lenses for maximized vision during the day, and clear lenses for when the sun sinks at the end of the day. As standard with all Oakley sunglasses, a microclear bag for lens cleaning and frame storage is also included.

Oakley Eyewear Technology

Oakley Unobtainium Gasket

Oakley created a new unobtainium gasket system to help minimise airflow around the eyes. This system was designed with motorcyclist in mind, for whom travelling at high speeds comes with the drawback of increased wind effects and all the dust and debris that come with it. With the added design benefit of being removeable.

Oakley Switchlock Technology

Oakley took the idea of “adapt and conquer” to the extreme. With SwitchLock, the lower part of the frame rim opens to allow easy access for quick lens changing, and a suspension system holds the lenses in place so stresses on the frame do not affect the optics. The proprietary technology is combined with the company’s premium lens innovations to give athletes a level of visual clarity and protection unrivaled in the industry.

Oakley Lens Suspention System

Stress sucks. It can compromise HDO by causing optical distortion. Introducing a revolutionary frame architecture that creates a suspension system for your lenses. They virtually float around the orbital space, isolated from compressive stresses for maximum optical clarity, comfort and fit.

High Definition Optics (HDO)

Proprietary geometries, high performance materials and state of the art design and production techniques allow Oakley to create sunglasses that maintains optical correction for refractive power, optical clarity and prismatic power. These three classifications are measured by a global stndard ANSI Z87.1 for optical performance ratings. Oakley is the gold standard and best in class, as evident in Private Pilot'magazine's sunglasses test results comparing all eyewear manufacturers.

Hydrophobic

Oakley has developed a proprietary hydrophobic lens treatment that repels water, oil, perspiration and dust, which makes cleaning sunglasses a breeze. Oakley's hydrophobic coating is available in two forms; it comes as a standard permanent lens treatment on certain select Oakley sunglasses, including the Oakley Flak Jacket sunglasses and Oakley Jawbone sunglasses, and also comes in a user-applied cleaning and hydrophobic kit.

Impact Protection

The lens materials and frame geometries of Oakley sunglasses provide unsurpassed protection against high-velocity and high-mass impact. For high-velocity impact testing, a quarter-inch steel shot is blasted froam a pneumatic cannon at 102 mph / 164 kmh. The high-mass impact test uses a metal spike (more than half a pound of weight / half a kilo) dropped from over four feet. The unique combination of wrapped, raked-back lens geometries and durable Plutonite lens material lens material allows Oakley eyewear to exceed the standards of these impact tests, established by the American National Standards Institute.

UV Protection

Oakley sunglasses provide unbeatable protection against the damaging rays of ultraviolet radiation. The Oakley Plutonite lens material inherently blocks 100% UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light. The protection is formulated into the lens material, as opposed to a thin surface film that can become scratched, leaving dilated pupils exposed to ultraviolet leaks. Shielding has nothing to with the darkness or colour of the lens, so even clear Oakley lenses provide full protection. The wrapped, raked-back architecture of Oakley sunglasses provides further protection by blocking UV from the periphery.

Plutonite Lens Material

Lightweight Plutonite lens material offers superior comfort, clarity and protection against impact and ultraviolet radiation. Maintaining the proven safety charateristics of Oakley sunglasses, the impact-resistant material blocks 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light. Plutonite is the only lens material able to achieve the performance standards required by the digital design and production technologies utilised by Oakley.

Three-Point Fit

Oakley sunglasses are engineered to maintain a comfortable, secure fit. The company's patented Three-Point Fit ensures that each frame makes contact only at the bridge of the nose nd behind the temples. This retains optics in perfect alignment and eliminates the discomfort of ordinary frames that hook the ears and mount with unbalanced pressure points. Some earstems are sheathed in Unobtainium, an Oakley innovation that actually increases grip with perspiration.

Frame Composition

Engineering breakthroughs in structural materials allow Oakley to produce lightweight, high performance sunglasses that maintain superior protection and comfort. The polymers in O Matter sunglasses are formulated for high durability, as well as controlled flexibility for improved safety during impact. To produce the ultra-strong, ultra-lightweight chassis of Oakley wire frames, five metallic compounds are fused into a cingle C-5 alloy. Both frame materials maintain resistance to ultraviolet radiation, humidity, thermal shock and chemical exposure.
