If you get a sinking feeling that the world is disappearing before your eyes, it’s probably just hiding in a haze of glare. When light reflects off flat surfaces, the resulting glare can be 10 times brighter. That’s not a good thing if you’re driving a car, avoiding a water hazard on the back nine or playing any sport to win. Oakley polarized lenses block glare with efficiency greater than 99%, and they are made with a process that eliminates the haze and optical distortion found in ordinary polarized lenses.

You won’t find satellites or lunar rovers on Oakley's product list but when they engineer an eyewear frame for unparalleled durability and minimized weight, they earn their place in the space race. That’s because Oakley start with the same metal used in orbital vehicles, titanium, and then craft it into alloys like this memory metal. It offers a flexible, adaptable fit while achieving a weight that seems to forget about that whole gravity thing. Matched with supple UNOBTAINIUM® components that increase grip with sweat, it’s the secret behind the all-day comfort of OAKLEY NANOWIRE™ 4.0.

Oakley took the unbeatable clarity and precision of HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) and matched them with a permanent HYDROPHOBIC™ coating that gives water sheens the slip, repels dirt and dust, and even maintains a smudge-resistant barrier against skin oils and lotions. The back of each lens has anti-reflective coating, and the lens curvature maximizes peripheral vision with XYZ OPTICS®. IRIDIUM® lens coating balances light transmission so the rays you need are boosted while the ones you don’t are reduced. Optical performance and impact resistance meet ANSI Industrial Standards, and the PLUTONITE® lenses filter out 100% of all UV.

OAKLEY NANOWIRE™ 4.0 comes with an Oakley Torpedo case and includes a lens cleaning cloth of the highest quality. For frame stems with even more sculptural styling, take a look at Polarized NANOWIRE™ 1.0 or Polarized NANOWIRE™ 2.0 and its unique lens shape. For a single-lens design, experience Polarized NANOWIRE™ 3.0. If you need corrective eyewear, prescription lenses can be made for this frame.
