The Power of The Oakley ‘O’ Frame
Oakley is an American brand which is renowned for its amazing collection of sports sunglasses made for both fashion and function. Oakley predominantly caters for the sports industry but the brand has successfully transcended itself into a huge contender within the fashion world.
The brand has been making ski goggles for athletes since the 1970’s and they have certainly set the standard for eye wear for competitive athletes, starting with their very first pair of goggles, the “O Frame”. Oakley goggles are regularly featured in action films including Spiderman, Mission Impossible 2 and X-men. They have also been spotted gracing the eyes of American Rappers Lil’ Jon, actress Daryl Hannah, and leading sports stars such as Lance Armstrong.
Oakley prides itself on designing products for sports performance and the range of goggles only emphasise
this further. From a functional perspective, they are famous for their clarity and wide peripheral. The goggle lenses are designed to avoid magnification which means that visually you can assess your surroundings accurately and precisely. They also offer superior impact protection, and 100% UV filtering which is built into the lens as opposed to the lens just being coated. This enables the goggles to last longer.
Of course, the goggles primarily serve a purpose to athletes and sports enthusiasts but are actually becoming quite the fashion statement. In a pair of these, even if you are a novice at the sport itself, at least you will look cool and stylish!
