Here are the decisions you need to make… General Oakley infoAll Oakley lenses are made from pure PLUTONITE which filter all UVA UVB UVC and with High Definition Optics (HDO’s) which enable visual clarity and sharp vision. ANSI Z87.1 standards ensure impact protection. Oakley ensure their 3point fit as standard which means the sunglasses only touch the face at crucial points, at the bridge of the nose and on the ears. Predominately the frames are made of lightweight O-Matter which promises to increase the all day comfort fit. Earsocks are made from another Oakley creation UNOBATANIUM. These are added for extra comfort on the ears and increase grip as you sweat, so you wont loose these sunnies easily! OIL RIGLets start with one of our new custom frames, the Oakley Oil Rig. As ever Oakley have produced a sunglass which are ahead of their game. The Oil Rig make a statement. They are very bold, chunky and sure of themselves. And now you can make these your own. When it comes to technology, the Oil Rig are top notch. They boast precise
clarification lenses, with all your standard Oakley features. They are designed
so that they curve parallel to your face to insure precise fit that will not
protrude at the sides. The Oil Rig comes with redesigned stem architecture that
puts the icon of innovation in the crosshairs of dimensional grooves. The cut
away arms add to the Oil Rig's artistic sculptured design and feature Oakley's
universal O logo on both arms. Great for round faces and guaranteed to turn heads! So top notch sunglasses? Ten out of ten ENDURINGBecause the Oakley women demands style, sophistication and reliability, the ENDURE was created. It boasts a bang on trend visor shaped lens and feminine contours.

With all the elements the world may throw at us Oakley females, we’ll be ready to endure them all with these works of Oakley art! OAKLEY FIVES SQUAREDIf you prefer the tapered look, Oakley have developed this sports frame with Condensed Cranial Geometry so the sunglasses don’t stick out at the sides and ooze sophistication. This makes them great for sliding in under helmets if you’re a bike rider. If this is your passion, you will also find that the FIVES SQUARED come in a range of coloured lenses to benefit your ride. Warm grey and Black Iridium both help to maintain colour contrast, allowing you to easily differentiate between brown and green. There is also a Polarised Black Iridium lens for bright light, to help prevent glare. The metal ‘O’ icons on the sides add a street edge, keeping the sunglasses
both cool and sleek. One thing I would say about the FIVES is that they are a better fit for a narrower face. Not a problem for me, but just as a word of warning I have a friend who I recommended the sunglasses too who found them a little snug. Having had previous Oakley Fives, I have always put my trust in these for longevity. I'm always on my bike and aside from protection, I also want to look. good. When I received my first pair as a present from my partner, I was initially a bit cautious with the frames as they are so lightweight I thought they would break easily. However, these have been knocked off my face several times before and remained undamaged. So, although they are lightweight, are also pretty sturdy. FIVES 2009FIVES have certainly improved through the years, when I look back to my first pair of FIVES 2.0, although I worshiped them and they were cream of the crop at the time, I can't help but look at these 2009's in awe. Oakley have clearly taken on board feedback from the FIVES of the past and endeavoured to improve. The FIVES have been re-vamped into 2009! Striving for unconventionality, FIVES are now offered in a greater range of colours and exclusive design. Not only do they look superb, but the different coloured lenses offer different qualities to the wearer. For example, take the red and gold iridium lens. These block out more light than the conventional grey or black lens, great if you spend your day in bright sunlight, or have sensitive vision. Firstly, the fit. The new edition of FIVES have been adapted to fit small to
medium head, as before there were issues with the FIVES being slightly small.
The 2009's have carried forward all the worthy attributes of the past; the O
MATTER frame, XYZ OPTICS, base curvature, PLUTONITRE lenses and impact
resistance. Furthermore, the new design incorporates what Oakley have coined the
'wrap' and 'rake' technology. Research has shown Oakley that more lens
curvature, the greater the field of vision and extended range of protection from
the elements. The 'wrap' is the curvature from side to side, whereas the 'rake'
is curvature from top to bottom. This warrants as much widespread protection as
humanly possible from drying out my eyes and the distortion which can be common
of average polarized lenses. OAKLEY ANTIXAnother great pair of sports sunnies as a necessity for any activity! With smooth clean lines and an edgy sports attitude. The Oakley ANTIX are the sunglasses of pro-athletes. These sunglasses are commanding all those of you who demand a lifestyle of sports, action and individuality. Smooth lines, rounded angles, carefully moulded contours. I was taking a stroll down the high street when I first saw these beauties.
.......they were on display and they caught my eye straight away. I just
remember thinking, smooth angles, polished frame...Yeah Nice. I had to go in for
a closer inspection. Sold! When I took my Oakley's for my Antix debut, I was impressed (to say the least) at how clear the world appeared (That'll b the Thanks to HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS or HDO's for visual clarity). Not only was my view clear, thanks to the single continuous PLUTONITE lens, it was also unobstructed and with complete range. I was quite happy to chill in the sun watching the game all day, comfortable in the knowledge my eyes are being protected with 100% UV filtering. Style and colours? I opted for the Brown Tortoise/Dark Bronze (03-703). They look slick and sporty, SO in keeping! I particularly like the mottled effect on the frame. But if this isn't your style, Oakley offer a choice of lenses and frames and it depends what you're after. Opt for the Black (Black Tortoise/Black Iridium 03-701)or Grey (Polished Black/Warm Grey 03-700) which are epically good at reducing the glare and keeping a sharp focus. If you're like me, you'll go for the dark bronze lens. I took them abroad to Spain and despite the bright sunlight, I was perfectly comfortable wearing them around the pool all day. Two polarized lens options are available, and both cut glare with 99% polarization efficiency. They also eliminate the haze and distortion found with ordinary polarized lenses. LENSESWhen it comes to the colour of the lens, aside from needing to look great, you need to choose the type of lens to suit you. Here’s a little aid to get you started… IndexTransmission: The percentage of light filtered through to your eyes Index/Category: The group the lens fits into, relating to how much sun it blocked out. The higher the category, the more sun is blocked out Iridium: A mirror look lens which prevents the glare UV400: All Oakley sunglasses protects up to 400 nanometres of light Polarised: High quality long life lens. Prevents the glare arising from horizontal wavelengths when light rebounds off metallic surfaces, mirrored surfaces or the bonnet of a car to prevent you squinting.
