Oakley Sunglasses-Alighi Collection

As a sports brand, Oakley often uses various sports and sports personalities as inspiration behind the creation of new products in addition to improving and reviving existing ones. The latest Oakley creations come in the form of the new Oakley Alinghi range of sunglasses, comprising of five innovative and incredibly slick designs.

The name and inspiration behind the Alinghi collection comes from the Swiss Alinghi sailing team. Oakley has designed these sunglasses in honour of the world renowned sailing team; the defenders of the 33rd regatta and the America’s Cup trophy which is the oldest active trophy in international sport.

The collection of Oakley Alinghi sunglasses have been designed with unique colours and feature only the most advanced forms of glare protection and the optical superiority of Oakley HD Polarized lenses. The Alinghi sailing team for a number of years have been avid fans and wearers of Oakley’s polarized optics, which is why in honour and support of the team, every individual can now also appreciate and experience that same exceptional performance and protection.

There are five designs within the Oakley Alinghi collection-:

First up, we have the Oakley Alinghi Fuel Cell with its ultra contemporary, slick and streamlined aesthetic, unique Plutonite Oakley lenses and durable, lightweight O Matter frame.

The Oakley Alinghi Hijinx is the next style in line with its strong design, dual cam hinges, Plutonite lenses, and side contours which use Oakley patented XYZ Optics for widescreen clarity.

Thirdly the Oakley Alinghi Square Whisker is an ultra lightweight, durable and comfortable style that boasts a thin frame with a highly sleek and ultra stylish finish thanks to the incorporation of digital sculpturing along its defined temples.

The fierce Oakley Jawbone is already a highly renowned style and the Oakley Alinghi Jawbone moves a step beyond with every design aspect engineered around the clarity and protection of Oakley’s High Definition Optics. The new architecture ensures there’s nothing to diminish that unbeatable visual clarity, still achieving maximum comfort and the perfect fit of a flexible and flawless frame design.

Last but not least, the Oakley Alinghi Scalpel is a further design which oozes an aggressive, competitive attitude. Boasting an aesthetic style that can transcend from street to sport, the Alinghi Scalpel offers an incredibly high level of performance whereby the design is combined with the use of science so that every curve maximises peripheral vision to the point of perfection.

Ultimately, the collection of Oakley Alinghi sunglasses are designed to convey the precision, strength and winning attitude as demonstrated by the Alinghi sailing team. With Oakley’s unique use of its own technologies and design elements, the result is a superbly impressive and innovative collection of sunglasses that each posses their own character, flawless quality and intense function.
