Oakley Polarised HALF X Carbon/Black Iridium Sunglasses

It was only a matter of time. Oakley have been perfecting open-edge lens architecture for years, giving athletes like runners and cyclists a full field of vision with no frame rim to block downward view. In a completely separate lab, our metallurgists were toying with 425,000 watts of plasma lightning to shape X METAL, an ultra-lightweight titanium alloy. Somehow the performance fanatics and the metal heads got together and spawned a design that mixes art and science so completely, you cant tell where one ends and the other begins. This is what happens when our athletes and engineers are allowed to mingle without an adequate supply of paint balls.

It was only a matter of time. Oakley have been perfecting open-edge lens architecture for years, giving athletes like runners and cyclists a full field of vision with no frame rim to block downward view. In a completely separate lab, our metallurgists were toying with 425,000 watts of plasma lightning to shape X METAL, an ultra-lightweight titanium alloy. Somehow the performance fanatics and the metal heads got together and spawned a design that mixes art and science so completely, you cant tell where one ends and the other begins. This is what happens when our athletes and engineers are allowed to mingle without an adequate supply of paint balls.

Heres where it goes over the top: The lenses are optimized with Oakley HYDROPHOBIC coating, a permanent shield against water sheens and a smudge-resistant barrier against skin oils and lotions. That means the unbeatable clarity of HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS (HDO) stays razor sharp and clear, and with lens contours that maximize peripheral view, its a performance advantage that borders on unfair. You also get the industrial-level impact resistance and 100% UV filtering of pure PLUTONITE lenses.

This lightweight all-metal frame stays in place with a Three-Point Fit that takes advantage of supple UNOBTAINIUM components, specially formulated to increase grip with sweat. Custom-engineered spring hinges add even more comfort.

For the ultimate in performance, this edition of HALF X is optimized with Oakley polarization. Glare isnt just an annoyance, its a performance killer. Oakley polarized lenses are engineered to block those blinding rays. We make polarized lenses with a liquid infusion process that bonds the lens material to the polarizing filter at the molecular level, eliminating the haze and distortion that comes with ordinary polarized lenses. Thats how Oakley achieve polarization efficiency greater than 99% with the best possible clarity and optical precision.
