Oakley have been perfecting open-edge lens architecture for years, giving athletes a full field of vision with no frame rim to block downward view. In a completely separate lab, metallurgists were toying with 425,000 watts of plasma lightning to shape X METAL, an ultra-lightweight titanium alloy.
The lenses are optimized with Oakley HYDROPHOBIC coating, a permanent shield against water sheens and a smudge-resistant barrier against skin oils and lotions. That means the unbeatable clarity of HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS (HDO) stays razor sharp and clear, and with lens contours that maximize peripheral view, its a performance advantage that borders on unfair. You also get the industrial-level impact resistance and 100% UV filtering of pure PLUTONITE lenses, plus optional IRIDIUM lens coatings that reduce glare and balance light transmission.
These lightweight, all-metal framed sunglasses stay in place with a Three-Point Fit that takes advantage of supple UNOBTAINIUM components, specially formulated to increase grip with sweat. Custom-engineered spring hinges add even more comfort.
For the ultimate in performance, this edition of HALF X is optimized with Oakley polarization. Glare isnt just an annoyance its a performance killer. Oakley polarized lenses are engineered to block those blinding rays. Oakley make polarized lenses with a liquid infusion process that bonds the lens material to the polarizing filter at the molecular level, eliminating the haze and distortion that comes with ordinary polarized lenses. Thats how they achieve polarization efficiency greater than 99% with the best possible clarity and optical precision.
