Oakley Backwind 0.5 Prescription Eyewear
The contours of a sail inspired the temples of this lightweight C-5™ alloy frame, a creation called Backwind™ 0.5 that offers the sure grip of Unobtainium® and the sheer genius of Twin Shock™ hinges. This seamless blend of style and innovation is a semi-rimless design, so there’s no lower frame rim to obstruct your downward view. Ready for a life with impact, the earstems can withstand some hyperflexing when necessary, and the adjustable nose pads let you tweak the fit.
Our global headquarters is in Southern California, so we sometimes enjoy mixing wind and water in an irresponsible manner. That’s the story behind the sail-inspired shape of the temples, a design cue that makes Backwind 0.5 such an original. This is a take-you-anywhere look that’s both sporty and sophisticated. The band accent near the hinge was sparked by racing stripes, and it salutes guys who respect anything that goes fast enough to threaten bodily harm.
Match Backwind 0.5 with the superior clarity and precision of Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses. They’re available with a wide range of options.
