Oakley Ten

Oakley is a dab hand at getting it right. Their sunglasses always perform with panache, even when you're under pressure. They've certainly got it right with the Oakley Ten too. Staying stylish as you dominate in the competitive arena just got easier. This is a sunglass that can do it all.

With their finger firmly on the pulse, Oakley's lens technology is ahead of the competition. Oakley has stepped things up even further with the Oakley Ten, bringing together XYZ Optics and High Definition Optics (HDO). HDO dramatically boosts clarity, allowing you to see whatever comes at you. Then there's cutting-edge XYZ Optics, which keeps your vision sharp across the whole lens. Say goodbye to poor vision away from the centre of the lens.

The lens material is important, so Oakley has given the Oakley Ten their very best Plutonite lenses. This clever material filters light and all UV Rays, as well as harmful blue light up to 400 nm.

Oakley definitely knows how to arm you for every scenario. That's why they shaped these lenses for success, giving it an 8.75 base lens curvature for unbeatable peripheral coverage. Surveying your surroundings is so easy with the Oakley Ten.

If you want to take things that touch further, you could always choose the option of Iridium coating. The coating is layered onto the lens, and finely tunes light transmission to ensure that glare from extremely bright light won't halt your path to victory. You also have you the option of HD Polarised lenses, which have been labelled "the best polarised lenses on the planet" by Oakley. After peering through them, you'll find it hard not to agree.

Sometimes, it just isn't possible to prevent impacts. The possibility of falling hard or facing projectiles head-on comes with the territory of competition. When this happens, you can count on Oakley Ten sunglasses. The lenses easily meet ANSI Z87.1 standards for high-mass and high-velocity protection. Lenses simply don't reach that level unless they are truly world-class.

The frame delivers more than just style. It's tough O-Matter construction means it'll stand up to being dropped and knocked, and it's perfect for the long haul thanks to it's lightweight feel. Oakley has also increased durability and precision are both extended with sculpturally integrated hinge mechanisms with dual cam action.

You simply can't go wrong with innovations like the three-point fit system either. It offers a simple solution to an irritating problem: a less-than-perfect fit. This can skew your optical alignment, but Oakley Ten shades stay in place to keep vision immaculate. This ingenious feature combines with the rest of the tech to ensure the Oakley Ten meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for optical performance and precision.

Whatever you're facing, Oakley Ten sunglasses will make a trusty ally. Performance and style are packaged together with luxurious comfort. This sunglass is hugely popular worldwide, and it isn't difficult to see why. Oakley have hit the nail on the head once again...

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.

Oakley redefine, transcend and reject convention.
