Sunglasses Oakley for men and women

Wearing Oakley sunglasses means choosing a clear view of the world. For more than forty years, the American brand has been shaking up the eyewear industry with bold frames, precise lenses and an instantly recognisable design. Whether you spend your weekends cycling, skiing or surfing, or you simply want a reliable pair for sunny days, Oakley sunglasses combine visual comfort, full UV protection and confident style.

Oakley: a story born from performance

Founded in 1975 in California by Jim Jannard, Oakley started out as a motorcycle brand before becoming a major player in sports eyewear. The name comes from the founder’s dog, Annie Oakley, who followed him everywhere. The first major innovation, the Oakley Grip handlebar made from Unobtainium, laid the foundations of a philosophy built on creativity, efficiency and scientific rigor. More than 800 patents would follow, shaping an identity where innovation is expressed as a meeting point between technology, science and artistic vision.

The brand’s vision is to help every person unlock their full potential and performance, whether we are talking about elite athletes or everyday users. Oakley relies on core values that define its character.

Progression drives the brand to push every limit further. Passion is embedded in the very culture of the company. Performance guides every technology and every material. Altruism encourages the idea of helping everyone achieve their goals by providing the right tools. And finally provocation reveals Oakley’s rebellious spirit, always ready to challenge conventions in order to create differently.

These principles can be seen in all the brand’s major breakthroughs. In 1984, the Eyeshade appeared after Jim Jannard was dazzled by the sun while driving. The frame offers optimal protection against the wind and superior vertical and peripheral vision. It would accompany several of Greg LeMond’s victories on the Tour de France. In 1985, Frogskins were launched, inspired by pop culture and destined to become a timeless classic. After Luxottica acquired the brand in 2007, Oakley continued to innovate with the launch of PRIZM in 2014 and PRIZM Gaming in 2020.

Oakley technology serving your vision

PRIZM lenses fine-tune colours, enhance contrast and highlight details in every environment. They are made from Plutonite, an exclusive material produced from an extremely pure optical-grade polycarbonate, capable of blocking 100% of UVA, UVB and UVC rays. The range also includes polarised, mirror, gradient or photochromic versions depending on the intended use.

Oakley has developed high-performance frames thanks to O-Matter, an injection-moulded thermoplastic that resists impacts and temperature changes. Nose pads and temple sleeves in Unobtainium increase grip as moisture rises, ensuring a secure fit even under intense effort.

The Three-Point Fit system guarantees optimal comfort by allowing the frame to touch only the bridge of the nose and the back of the temples, keeping the sunglasses stable without unnecessary pressure. Some models also use the C-5™ metal alloy, known for its lightness and strength, offering a thin, robust and durable alternative.

Choosing an Oakley frame that stays with you

Choosing an Oakley frame means opting for a model built to last and designed to adapt to your lifestyle. Oakley Sutro and Radar are favourites among athletes thanks to their stability, ventilation and wide field of view, while Frogskins, Latch and HSTN are better suited to an urban use, blending style and technical features. Oakley Meta illustrate a more modern approach where design meets connected innovation.

Every frame is built to stand the test of time, with O-Matter maintaining its shape, Unobtainium components improving grip and C-5™ metal structures providing refinement and strength. Men often favour the clean lines of Holbrook or Radar EV Path, while many women appreciate softer shapes combined with mirrored lenses. Across all collections, Oakley strikes a balance between personality, comfort and long-term durability.

Prescription lenses and everyday use

On Visiofactory, your Oakley sunglasses can be fitted with Oakley RX or BBGR prescription lenses. These solutions, whether progressive, polarised or photochromic, allow you to keep the look and performance of the frames while enjoying perfectly adapted vision. Oakley sunglasses follow you in every activity: on the bike, wide frames protect you from the wind; on the slopes, PRIZM Snow lenses improve your reading of the terrain; on the water, polarised lenses or Prizm Deep Water lenses reduce glare.
