You peel your P-40 for a boom-and-zoom when two bogeys bear down, forcing you into a high G turn that feels like the blood in your brain is coming down over your eyes. Just another day at the office for the Flying Tigers. Their shark-faced fighters are an icon of World War II, and their volunteer flying group became synonymous with independence, daring prowess and just plain guts.
We’re honoring the Flying Tigers with this special edition of Oakley GASCAN® eyewear. The art on the stems looks like we tore it off a fuselage that’s seen some action, and two unique versions are available. Both are matched with lenses that excel in bright sunlight. Flying Tigers GASCAN® comes complete with a commemorative pin, a custom packaging box for collectors and a custom printed MICROCLEAR™ bag for lens cleaning and eyewear storage.
The optics of GASCAN® are cut from the curve of a single lens shield then mounted in the frame to maintain the original, continuous contour. We utilized HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) for unbeatable clarity that takes full advantage of XYZ OPTICS®, a patented technology that offers razor-sharp vision along the entire lens curve. The O MATTER® frame material is lightweight yet meets all ANSI Z87.1 standards for impact protection because we matched it with lenses of durable PLUTONITE®, a material that filters out 100% of all UV. As far as comfort, if you’ve never worn sunglasses with a true Three-Point Fit, you don’t know what you’re missing.
