Oakley's aim to defy the limits of possibility, they take inspiration from the iron will of athletes like Lance Armstrong. The cycling legend was diagnosed with cancer in 1996 and underwent grueling surgery and chemotherapy, refusing the slim odds of survival and returning to win the Tour de France seven years in a row. Today his foundation inspires and empowers people affected by cancer. Oakley and Rubens are supporting its ongoing mission by providing $20 from each sale of this Oakley LIVESTRONG™ special edition.
This salute to the ultimate survivor is rendered in the colors of his foundation logo. You’ll find the word “LIVESTRONG” laser etched near the edge of the lens, and to cut glare and balance light in bright sun, the optics are tuned with BLACK IRIDIUM® lens coating. The lenses are interchangeable to let you adapt to any environment, and the included protective SOFT VAULT® case has room for an extra set when you expand your collection.
The yardstick of performance in the eyewear industry is an organisation called ANSI, and this sunglass exceeds their uncompromising Z87.1 optical standards. You get the benefits of HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) including XYZ OPTICS® to maximize peripheral vision with clarity at every angle of view. To keep the world’s best optics at their best, Oakley permanent HYDROPHOBIC™ lens coating sheds sweat, rain, skin oils and dust.
Oakley utilized durable, lightweight O MATTER® frame material to create a comfortable design that makes an art of performance. Matched with PLUTONITE® lenses that filter out 100% of all eye-chapping UV, this sunglass meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for high mass and high velocity impact resistance. Oakley's renowned Three-Point Fit holds the lenses in precise optical alignment with UNOBTAINIUM® components that increase grip with sweat. To make the fit adaptable, the frame comes with two sizes of interchangeable nosepiece components. |
