Oakley Fives Squared

As fashionable as they are cutting-edge, Oakley Fives Squared sunglasses are perfect for people who love a challenge and demand both innovation and style from their sunglasses.

Complete with Oakley's High Definition Optics (HDO), the lenses in the Fives Squared sunglass augment vision and make contrast sharper and colour more visible.

The lenses are also carefully crafted with a 8.75 base lens curvature for improved peripheral vision and protection at the side of the sunglass. This technology interacts superbly with XYZ Optics to make sure vision is perfect at every angle, and as a result of these two ground-breaking innovations, the Fives Squared meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for clarity of vision.

Lens technology is taken a step further with the optional Iridium coating, which offers added protection from glare and tunes light transmission, allowing these sunglasses to brush off the irritation of varying light conditions.

Oakley has forged the lenses in the Fives Squared frame from super-strong Plutonite, meaning that they meet ANSI Z87.1 basic impact standards with ease. It isn't any wonder that Oakley has such a renowned reputation for creating extremely tough sunglasses.

With all of this quality built into the lenses, Oakley has made sure that the frame itself is also engineered to perfection by constructing it from ultra-light O-Matter, offering both durability and sumptuous comfort.

These shades are also perfect for when you're on the go, with Oakley's three-point fit system ensuring that the Fives Squared stays firmly in position at all times.

Designed for small to medium-sized heads, the Fives Squared features condensed cranial geometry, which hugs the temples for a sublime fit. This fit is further augmented with the sculpturally integrated hinge mechanisms and dual cam.

The Fives Squared has all the style associated with fashion-based sunglasses fused together with the advanced technology associated with sporting shades. Oakley's ability to blend both style and supreme functionality has lead to the creation of a pair of sunglasses that offer everything and more.

And at Sunglasses Shop we’ve been fans of Oakley sunglasses since it first came to us all those years ago. Oakley’s blend of science and art means we can stock some of the best known and best loved sunglasses in performance and lifestyle eyewear.

The Story of Oakley Sunglasses

For Oakley, it all started with a mad-scientist Jim Jannard. He believed that everything could be made better. In 1975 Jim started out with just $300 and made a motorbike handgrip made from a uniquely new material, Unobtainium. It fitted the rider’s hand better than anything before it. It actually increased grip with sweat too.

Next came Jim’s real breakthrough. The O-Frame goggle, with its perfectly cylindrical arc, stayed on the MX scene for the next 17 years. Riding stars championed the goggles’ clarity and wide peripheral view.

The first Oakley sunglasses were Eyeshades and Tour de France cyclist Greg Lemond loved the protection it offered and was the first pro to approach Oakley.
Today Oakley is the mark of excellence for those who cannot compromise on performance. The designs blend technology and with more than 600 patents. It’s become a science at Oakley, but a science that’s combined with art to produce some of the best engineered sunglasses on the planet.

These days many regard Oakley’s research and development method as second to none and perhaps that’s their secret. But don’t take our word for it (well actually you should because we are the experts) but Oakley are worn by the elite for a reason. But you don’t need to be the best of the best to get the best.

Why Choose Oakley Sunglasses?

Oakley’s technology is immense too. The High Definition Optics (HDO) are unrivalled in their clarity. Your eyes won’t shift as they readjust their focus as can happen with inferior lenses, and you get the best impact protection too. And it’s not just in the lens, the frame will hold up just as well.  As we said, there's 600 patents and more.

A huge choice of lens tints gives you balanced light transmission for wherever your sport takes you; can improve depth perception or colour recognition and come in polarised, photochromic options. Iridium coatings will help with harmful UV and infra red and many are prescription friendly too.
