Technology

The impressive technology helps to make sure your eyes are protected and that you can see as if you were not even looking through a lens.


Originally a motorcycle brand, Oakley understood the need for performance eyewear that stays put on your face. The company used the technology it had originally developed for motorcycle grips and adapted it to make high-friction earsocks that grip your head. Oakley sunglasses were so successful that that they have become the brand’s flagship product, although Oakley still sells lots of other gear. The company owns some 600 patents for sunglasses, and the Oakley name has become a synonym for premium shades.
