Summer with Oakley Sunglasses
Summer 2013 is set to be a big one for Oakley Sunglasses with a plethora of new releases making good on their promise of ’science and art combined’. Oakley Sunglasses take the very pinnacle of eyewear technology and years of industry experience and roll it into a stylish summertime package! Undoubtedly, Oakley have the world’s best lenses and with over 600 patents protecting their lenses alone it is easy to see why. With Oakley’s HD and XYZ Optics, you have 100% clarity at all times with 0% refraction of light. This means that your vision will never be distorted which cuts out all of those annoying sunglass headaches you may get from other brands. They are considered to be the healthy option when it comes to eyewear with their patented Plutonite lenses blocking 100% of UVA, UVB and UVC rays to ensure that your eyes are safe and sound at all times. This is thanks to the inherent properties of Plutonite; a polycarbonate compound with a unique chemical structure – they are the only lenses in the world that don’t have to apply a UV protection coating, the lenses themselves already do it! This means that even if you scratch or dent the lenses, providing there isn’t a hole in them, they will still completely block those harmful rays – even their clear lenses do it.
Clearly then, Oakley Sunglasses are the healthy choice, but what about style? Well, Oakley Sunglasses’ new releases for 2013 combine this awesome eyewear technology with seriously cool styling including new additions from the Oakley Frogskins Sunglasses and Oakley Holbrook Sunglasses sitting next to the new kids on the block; the Oakley Two Face Sunglasses, Oakley Frogskins LX Sunglasses and Oakley Style Switch Sunglasses. Oakley use a combination of their patented O Matter frame material with other brilliant materials including acetate and their C-5 Metal Alloy. O Matter is designed to be ultra-lightweight whilst being super durable and flexible, tested to the same level as industrial strength eyewear, Oakley Sunglasses with O Matter frames will protect your eyes from any debris that may fly up. Acetate may be used by a lot of other sunglass companies, however Oakley use it to create wonderful colour and design schemes. The Oakley Frogskins LX Sunglasses and Oakley Holbrook LX Sunglasses are made from acetate and you only have to look at some of the colours to understand why Oakley have used acetate on these awesome frames.
Customisation is a big part of Oakley Sunglasses’ mantra and the new Oakley Style Switch Sunglasses take this to a whole new level. They incorporate Oakley’s outstanding Switchlock technology which had previously been reserved for sport’s specific sunglasses. Switchlock allows for quick and easy lens changes and this has seen people from across the world clambering to get their hands on this innovative frame. Each pair comes with two sets of lenses, primarily one for bright light conditions and the other for dark or overcast conditions; an invaluable asset for anyone who will be using the sunglasses for any prolonged period of time.
Jim Jannard, the founder of Oakley, had the original idea of taking something that someone has done before and making it better than anyone has ever seen. This is still prevalent in today’s Oakley Sunglasses and you can guarantee that any pair you get will be of the highest possible quality. All Oakley Sunglasses come with a 1 year manufacturer’s warranty as standard for that added piece of mind and as the UK’s largest online retailer of sunglasses and watches, here at Shade Station we will always have the most up-to-date and on trend Oakley Sunglasses. Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+ and Vine for all the latest news and views from the fashion and sunglasses world, plus exclusive behind the scenes access to all the top brands…

Sneak-a-Peek: Oakley Jupiter Carbon Sunglasses
The Oakley Jupiter Carbon Sunglasses are one of the newest releases to come out of Oakley Sunglasses HQ and they may look a little familiar…but don’t let that fool you! Those of you who remember the Oakley Jupiter Factory Lite Sunglasses will be able to draw this comparison, however they are very different indeed; from the material that they are made of, right through to subtleties in design. First of all, lets discuss the similarities; they both have an almost identical shape and profile on your face, patented Plutonite lenses which are 100% UVA, UVB and UVC protective and both of their lenses feature Oakley’s HD and XYZ Optics which completely cut out refraction of light and therefore the optical clarity is second to none! Oakley have over 600 patents to protect this technology so you can be sure that you won’t find this kind of innovation elsewhere.
As with the Oakley Jupiter Factory Lite Sunglasses, the Oakley Jupiter Carbon Sunglasses feature lightweight carbon fibre arms which are attached with mono-shock hinges for a truly comfortable wear and the ‘three-point fit’ technology ensures that they will fit the vast majority of head sizes and shapes. Where the two frames differ is the actual frame itself; where the Factory Lites had a precision engineered aluminium centre frame, the Oakley Jupiter Carbon Sunglasses have an O Matter centre frame. O Matter is Oakley’s patented polycarbonate compound which is incredibly flexible and durable and is impact resistant to the same level as industrial strength eyewear!
Although these amazing frames are not going to be available until the summer, you can register your interest on our site and we will let you know when they arrive. Make sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for daily updates and news…

ReviewStation: Oakley Offshoot Sunglasses
With the turn of the year, Oakley Sunglasses have released a whole plethora of new models to fit into their ‘Lifestyle’ range and undoubtedly one of the stand out pairs has to be the Oakley Offshoot Sunglasses. Based heavily around the Oakley Big Taco Sunglasses (one of the biggest Oakley releases of 2012), the Oakley Offshoots add a whole new dimension to what is surely going to be a future classic. A large frame, fantastic innovative technology and unrivalled lens quality has elevated the Oakley Offshoot Sunglasses to near stardom before it has even been put on general release. In this exclusive ReviewStation blog, we are going to look at the Offshoots in detail and provide you with everything you need to know before you buy.
Let’s start by taking a look at the frame; made from Oakley’s patented O Matter compound, it is a revolution in sunglass and eyewear technology which has seen Oakley excel above and beyond their closest competitors. O Matter is a polycarbonate mixture which has a different molecular make up to regular acetate, it is this microscopic change which gives O Matter the noticeable advantage over others. Designed to be incredibly flexible yet durable, the Oakley Offshoot sunglasses are tested to the same standards as industrial protective eyewear and will keep your eyes safe and sound should anything hit you in the face, providing the user with peace of mind whatever the sunglasses are being used for. Oakley have added multi-toned and textured temple designs for the fashion minded and the range of colours the Offshoots come in will surely please even the fussiest of people out there! To complete these already amazing frames, they have been made with Oakley’s patented ‘Three-Point-Fit’ system which ensures the sunglasses will only contact your head in three places; above your ears and on the bridge of your nose meaning that they will fit the vast majority of head sizes and shapes.
Unlike it’s predecessor, the Big Taco, the Oakley Offshoot Sunglasses have a shield lens which extends to almost the full width of the frame providing the user with a wide field of sight and fantastic clarity of vision. The clarity of the lens is down to the Plutonite polycarbonate compound which Oakley make their lenses from and the uncompromisingly exact standards to which they manufacture these lenses. Oakley complete all of their Plutonite lenses with HD and XYZ Optics to ensure no refraction of light occurs as it passes through the lens; this eliminates annoying sunglass headaches and eye strain. Plutonite, along with 600 other Oakley technologies, are protected by patents so you can be sure that you will be receiving the best lenses in the world, lenses which are 100% UVA, UVB and UVC protective. As any Oakley sunglass owner will tell you, the aesthetics of the lenses are just as important as the technology put in them and therefore Oakley have made the Offshoot sunglasses with a vast range of lens colours and styles, adding Iridium coatings and Polarised filters to select models.
As we have exclusive and very early access to these sunglasses we have included an extensive video review of the amazing Oakley Offshoot Sunglasses for your viewing entertainment below. Please take a look and let us know what you think in the comments below!

In this blog we are going to take a closer look at the Oakley Plaintiff Squared Sunglasses, a new 2013 release from Oakley which combines a classic stalwart sunglass with new cutting edge design. What appears to be a hybrid between Oakley Plaintiff Sunglasses and their squared off masterpiece, the Oakley Deviation Sunglasses, the Plaintiff Squared has already created a stir in the industry with people vying for as much information as possible. Luckily you have come to the right place! We have exclusive early access to this amazing range and we are going to be sharing it with you; along with video footage, an in depth video review and the ability to pre-order these for immediate shipping when they arrive in stock.
Let’s start by breaking the frame down piece by piece. The frame itself is made from Oakley’s C-5 Metal Alloy compound, a lightweight material which will sit comfortably on your face all day and the cushioned nose pieces are adjustable for added stability. Oakley’s patented ‘Three Point Fit” system is an innovation which ensures the frame will only contact your face in three places; above your ears and on your nose which ensures that they will fit the vast majority of head sizes and shapes whilst still keeping their original contour. The Oakley Plaintiff Squared Sunglasses have an 8.75 base lens/frame curvature which wraps around your face more than a regular ‘Aviator’ style sunglass, giving you a more stylish look and protecting your eyes up to the periphery of your vision. They are also engineered with Mono-Shock Hinges; made from titanium these hinges keep up Oakley’s already high standard of impact protection and give you that extra peace of mind when you are wearing them.
All of this frame technology is undoubtedly amazing, however Oakley’s ‘pièce de résistance’ has to be their lenses. Made from Oakley’s patented polycarbonate compound Plutonite, these lenses are simply unrivaled in the sunglass world. Unlike the vast majority of other lenses, Plutonite itself is 100% UVA, UVB and UVC protective which means that even if they are scratched, dropped or chipped the lenses will still completely protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays. If you like your Oakley Sunglasses then I’m sure you will have heard the term ‘HDO’ before; this stands for HD Optics which Oakley use in their lenses to provide complete clarity of vision right up to the periphery of your sight. This term encompasses Oakley’s (also patented) XYZ Optics, an amazing innovation which tapers each lens from the middle out to the edges of the sunglass and will correct any refraction of light as it passes through the lens. Anyone who has ever bought cheaper sunglasses will be well aware of those annoying sunglass headaches you get after a prolonged period of wearing them, and it is the XYZ optics that completely cuts these out!

Sneak-a-Peek: Oakley Summit Frogskins Sunglasses
The 1980s was a fantastic era for styling classics…well, maybe not the shell-suit! But anyway, there was one fashion statement which has made a huge resurgence recently, the Oakley Frogskins Sunglasses. Originally released in1985, the Frogskins had 50 colour-ways and were available for $40.00. Over 20 years later, Oakley re-released the sunglass goliath and this year, they have released the limited edition Oakley Summit Frogskins Sunglasses.
They are a limited edition range, all with beautiful matte and metallic colours. The frame is made from Oakley’s patented O Matter material; a light a durable compound which is incredibly stress resistant. One of Oakley’s main accomplishments is creating sunglasses which are tested to the same standards as industrial eyewear, and O Matter is the foundation for all of this. It absorbs impact and dissipates the vibrations down the arms and away from the sunglasses and your face; this makes Oakley Sunglasses the favourite for a lot of athletes.
Of course, along with unrivaled protection from impact, your eyes must be protected from the sun’s harmful rays. This is where Oakley’s patented Plutonite lens material comes in very handy, the compound itself is completely UVA, UVB and UVC protective meaning that even if the lenses are scratched, scuffed or damaged, your eyes will still be protected! It is the same Plutonite material which facilitates Oakley’s XYZ and HD Optics. This technology corrects any refraction of light through the lens providing the user with clear, sharp and undistorted vision; so say goodbye to those annoying ’sunglass headaches’.
If you are looking for something a little more colourful this year, then take a look at the Oakley Summit Frogskins Sunglasses. Available in 5 different colour-ways, we are sure that you will find one that suits!
