The Oakley brand has been built upon the innovative and futuristic ideas of
one Jim Jannard, self-proclaimed mad-scientist and inventor. Jim, a staunch
anti-functionalist, held firm the belief that ‘everything in the world can and
will be made better’ and he made it his mission to improve upon the function and
aesthetics of all number of products, from motocross equipment to sunglasses and
beyond.
Initially operating from his garage with only $300 capital, Jim developed a new
kind of motorcycle handgrip which was noted amongst industry pro’s for it’s
pioneering design and patented ‘Unobtainable’ material, which increased grip
with sweat.
Following this success, Jim went on to create the ‘O Frame goggle’ with its
unique curved lens in the perfect arc of a cylinder. It was this invention which
catapulted Jannard’s unique fusion of art and science onto the MX racing circuit
where the ‘O Frame’ dominated for the next 17 years.
Encouraged, Jim continued on his quest by reinventing sunglasses for sports,
cleverly incorporating his previous ‘Eyeshades’ invention, a design that began
an evolution of eyewear from simple accessory to essential equipment.
The brand was quickly approached by world class competitors including Greg LeMond, who went on to become a three-time winner of the Tour de France; Tri-athletes Scott Tinley and Mark Allen, and professional road racing cyclist Lance Armstrong who demanded nothing less than the high performance and excellent protection provided by Oakley’s products.
Since its humble beginnings in 1974, Oakley has been at the forefront of design technology, and has been awarded more than 540 patents worldwide.

Oakley Thump Pro Polished Black
512MB Oakley Thump Pro
We took the premium sound, patented optics and all-day comfort of THUMP 2 and engineered them in a completely new architecture. This sport design is even more lightweight, and it adds the durability of sweat resistance and the convenience of interchangeable lenses. THUMP PRO launches a new era in sport training.
Coaches and trainers know that athletes have one-track minds — at any given moment, the human brain is focused on a single thing. Divert attention from the burn of exertion and your training will find a whole new level. That’s why we invented THUMP PRO, digital music eyewear in a sport design that fuels your training session with the music that moves you. Whether you’re running, biking or pushing your potential with any kind of workout, THUMP PRO will help you find your limits and just as easily ignore them. Athletes have endured the “ball and chain” of portable players for a quarter of a century. Cords dangle. Wires tangle. The base unit knocks around. The speakers jam into the ears and completely block out the environment with an all-or-nothing design. Oakley solved all these problems.
Here’s why THUMP PRO is an essential training tool:
THUMP PRO combines three decades of Oakley optical innovation with the convenience and performance of cutting-edge audio. This isn’t just a state-of-the-art song player or a world-class optical instrument. This is a training tool that brings out the athlete in you. Its crystal clear sound bathes the brain in music that lets you endure the burn and take your training to the next level.
