PERFORMANCE RUNS DEEP

Oakley patented materials, frame technologies and design features are engineered to meet the

demands of the world’s greatest athletes, or whatever you decide to throw their way.

we build
from the ground up

Get to know our range of patented frame materials you won’t find anywhere else.

FROM IDEA TO DESIGN

We have obsessed over things like how to make the lightest frame possible and how to build with

biomaterials, then we worked with the right people or technology to bring our ideas to life.

O MATTER™

Engineered for Oakley to provide improved strength and flexibility over traditional acetate.

NANO-MATTER®

Our ultra-lightweight durable frame material for all-day comfort and resistance to the elements.

BIO-MATTER™

Our BiO-Matter frame material is made from bio-materials having at least 56% bio-based carbon content.*

*This percentage indicates how much of the material mixture is obtained from castor oil sources versus petrochemical or fossil sources.

WE BRING THE TECH.
YOU BRING THE GRIT.

Our frame technologies are designed to maintain comfort as you take it up a gear with specific design features that eliminate pressure, support grip, and prevent your hair from getting caught.

UNOBTAINIUM®

It’s one of our first patents and it’s still going strong.
Unobtainium® is designed to increase grip with sweat to prevent
the frame from slipping.

no-snag nosepads

Eyewear can be moved from the top of your head to your face with ease.

Our adjustable nosepads that are available in our women's collection won’t snag or pull on hair.

switchlock®

When conditions change from sunny to overcast, a simple switch
mechanism releases to let you rapidly swap out lenses
to adapt to varying light conditions.

TRUBRIDGE™ +
UNOBTAINIUM®

TruBridge™ technology adapts the frame to the width and depth of the nose bridge to give prescription wearers a personalized fit that is supported by the increased grip of Unobtainium® nosepads.

PACKED WITH
IMPACT PROTECTION

Made from the purest form of optical polycarbonate, Plutonite® works together with the frame geometry of each eyewear design to provide uncompromising impact protection against high velocity impact.

FIND THE RIGHT FIT

We offer a variety of different fits to ensure your eyewear is comfortable, looks good, and stays on. To reduce pressure normally created by wearing glasses, our eyewear is designed with Three Point Fit to ensure the frame only makes contact at three places – over the nosebridge and over the ear.

The temples are constructed with a thinner design to help provide seamless headset compatibility for lasting comfort during long gaming sessions.

IT’S IN THE DETAILS

LATCH™

The Latch hinge has an interior kick-up feature that lets you clip your glasses to your shirt, allowing you safely stow your eyewear.

HOLLOWPOINT™

Inspired by hubless motorcycle wheels, the Hollowpoint™ hinge has a self-contained spring cam mechanism and internal piston, showing an elegantly minimalist design.
