Polarized WHISKER Pewter/Black Iridium (12-849)

Polarized WHISKER Pewter/Black Iridium (12-849)

Polarized WHISKER Sunglasses Durable C-5™ alloy is digitally sculptured into the thinnest, most flexible wire frame ever created by Oakley. WHISKER® combines all-day comfort with HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) for unbeatable clarity and protection. You get razor sharp vision at every angle of view, even at the sides of lens contours that open your peripheral vision. Optically pure PLUTONITE® lens material filters out 100% of all UV (not just UVA and UVB) and provides impact protection that meets all ANSI Z80.3 standards. For added comfort and a secure fit, supple UNOBTAINIUM® increases grip with perspiration. Our polarized lenses are specially engineered to block the blinding rays of glare that are magnified by flat surfaces such as snow, water and pavement. Oakley polarization technology utilizes a liquid infusion process to bond the polarizing filter at the molecular level. That's how we eliminate the haze and distortion found in conventional technologies and achieve the best polarized sunglasses on the planet. Ultra-lightweight hi-modulus C-5™ frame material Metal Icon Accent Wrapped, raked frame geometry with 8.75 base lens curvature for better peripheral coverage Patented hydrophilic Unobtainium® earsocks ensure a snug, secure fit XYZ Optics® for maximized clarity at all angles of vision Optional Iridium® coatings to reflect glare and heighten contrast Plutonite® lens material blocks 100% UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light Minimized glare via technology that produces the best polarized lenses on the planet with greater than 99% polarization efficiency Meets ANSI Z80.3 for impact requirements Meets ANSI Z87.1 for optical requirements Available with Oakley Prescription Lenses (+2.00 to -4.00, with max cylinder -3.00 and minimum PD of 58)

These sunglasses are just awesome, they make driving in the morning when the sun is coming out so easy. I love them. Just be careful because they are very light , so i would put it in you pocket, i would recommend buy a hard case.

Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare, very stylish

Simply Awesome! I've worn nothing but Oakley products for almost 20 years and for good reason. They are light, stay on my face and last forever! This is the first pair I've purchased in 14 years...that should tell you how long my other pair has lasted...I still have that M Frame for all my activities, but this one is more stylish for going out and about...looking the part!

My second pair of Oakleys
Date: June 23, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare
Cons: lenses scratch easily

I bought these pairs of Oakleys with RX. It is great for driving and on the beach. It has polarized lenses which reduces glare and fits perfectly on my face. Be careful of the lenses since they scratch easily. Overall, great product!
