Already a legend. And a living legend. The Lightweight, digitally sculptured, subtle lines, unbeatable clarity…it can only be the Oakley WHISKER.

The evolution of the whisker has been a steady, meticulous climb which has reined victorious. Taking inspiration from the Oakley wire, square wire and E wire of the past, the Whisker hasn’t failed to maintain the comfort, style and Oakley finesse.

On first appearance these sunglasses are a bit delicate, but if you’ve owned a pair previously, you’ll understand, years of wear and usage have proven them technically sound. Although not delicate visually, these sunnies are hardcore.

If you’ve been a fan of the wires, then I’m sure by now they’ll have earned your trust. And if you’re a first time buyer, the credentials are here in-front of you.

Lets start with the ringleader of this particular range, the WHISKER, where the predecessors take their inspiration. The ultra lightweight high modulus C-5 frame material, the 8.75 base frame curvature and the optional iridium coating….and we’ve only scratched the surface. Although these may look a bit airy fairy, they aren’t for the faint hearted. As is proven by their upstanding traits.

If there were ever glasses built for maximum comfort, these are them. What the whisker has done for Oakley has said, yes we’re delicate, but were strong. Brimming with professionalism and conservatism, coupled with Oakley stylishness. Throw them on for any activity this summer.

Durable c-5 alloy has been digitally sculptured into the thinnest frame ever made by Oakley. This gives an adaptable fit with minimal cranium pressure, giving all day comfort. Pure PLUTONITE lenses filter out 100% UV and provide impact protection.

How to spot a Whisker

Normal (round) Whisker

Square Whisker

The difference is fairly subtle but you can spot a whisker a mile off once you know how. The Square Whisker, strangely enough, is square!

POLARIZED and TITANIUM

Ill give you the low down on the technicalities. Polarized lenses filter the light through their laminated surface which only allows vertically-polarized light through. Resulting in a reduction in glare which generally arises from reflective surfaces such as the metal of a car. Making these sunglasses good for summer cruising! And not to worry if you get a little hot under the collar because subtle UNOBATANIUM components increase grip with perspiration!

Silver is the colour of the new age. Its cool, it’s collected and it’s sleek. Aside from the obvious, it’s the God of metal Gods when it comes to sunglasses. It’s lustrous, it has a low density, but good strength and can easily be fabricated. Making it the perfect material choice for the WHISKER. Not much can come between us and our Oakleys as the titanium metal is resistant to most organic acids, sea water and chlorine. Making it the perfect choice for holidaying this summer.

SQUARE WHISKER

Pulling inspiration from the old Oakley wires and whiskers of the present, Oakley have formulated the ‘3 point fit.’ The promise being that you will only be able to feel the glasses on the bridge of the nose and side of the head. Other than this, the glasses will feel like a second skin if you will.

More stylish than before, the SQUARE WHISKERS encompass digital sculpting along its ‘sleek temples.’ Boasting further comfort and adaptations to fit to your head.

The general consensus? Elegant and reliable…we like ‘em.

Alphabetically the Whisker sits at the end of the Oakley collection - but don't worry, we have set-up a page of Oakley Whisker sunglasses with all the options in one place.
