Oakley Technology at the Olympics

Malta Independent Sunday, 24 August 2008, 00:00 Last update: about 13 years ago

With more than 540 patents, it’s no surprise that Oakley innovation is giving Olympic athletes the vision to exceed possibility. New eyewear inventions called Radar® and Enduring™ will keep victory in focus with unbeatable clarity and the most advanced optical technologies on the planet.

Oakley sculptured its lightweight Radar® frame for cooling airflow, made the fit adaptable, and created an interchangeable lens design with the latest in performance optics. The optional +RED® Polarized lens will be a favourite, helping Olympians push their limits by reducing infrared light — the key to comfort that helps athletes stay focused. Oakley polarization technology blocks 99.9 per cent of glare, and the company’s +RED® lens transmits truer colours so athletes will see every detail of their environment. A standard feature of every Radar® lens, Oakley’s revolutionary Hydrophobic™ coating repels water, skin oils and debris, keeping vision crystal clear.

A world first, Oakley’s new Enduring™ sunglass is the first sport performance eyewear made exclusively for women. The company analysed every aspect of female cranial anatomy to achieve a perfect fit. The interchangeable lenses of this comfortably lightweight frame come with Oakley’s permanent Hydrophobic™ coating. Like Radar®, all lenses feature the unbeatable clarity of High Definition Optics® (HDO®). Two sizes of nosepiece make the fit adaptable.
