Although a great many people have heard about Oakley sunglasses for men and women, they may be uncertain why they are so popular, now practically reaching cult status. This brief article aims to explain just who Oakley are, why their sunglasses are so good and give an idea of the vast range available.
Oakley began their business in 1975 and started to produce sunglasses a couple of years after that. From their humble beginnings in the USA they have now become a popular brand worldwide, developing exclusive ranges of sunglasses for men and women not only for the obvious, but have also developed more specialist designs for specific sports. Oakley have developed and grown their business by merging science and art to create some outstanding designs that also incorporate their technologically sound High Definition Optics (HDO) process.
So, what is High Definition Optics? HDO improves the quality of vision for the wearer by greatly reducing visual distortion. Oakley sunglasses for men and women have optimised polarisation that exceeds 99% protection with the lens coatings being moulded at the molecular level. (For more information on the technology Oakley uses visit their website.)
Oakley sunglasses come in a variety of ranges and these are divided into active, polarised, lifestyle, special and limited editions. For example, the lifestyle range includes the Gascan range (from around 80) that has High Definition Optics and Plutonite lenses giving 100% protection against all UV rays with excellent impact protection. Some ranges are coated with the Oakley HYDROPHOBIC coating that is designed to resist rain, sweat, skin oils and dust .
Oakley men and womens sunglasses are certainly not cheap, but with their maximised peripheral vision and clarity, the High Definition Optics system is something pilots will often insist on. An example from 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).
If you buy cheap imitations of the genuine Oakley sunglasses then you are liable to be disappointed. Make sure you look for the unique O on all their products (including goggles) to ensure they are not fakes. Your new sunglasses are an investment and although they are tough, I would not recommend sitting on them often! Remember, part of the cost you pay is because of the years of development and painstaking attention to detail that Oakley provide that other non-branded mass produced High Street stores do not.
