Polarized WHISKER Brown/Bronze (12-850)

Polarized WHISKER Brown/Bronze (12-850)

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)

Love 'em...
Date: November 2, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare

Needed new specs for baseball & golf. These things are amazing. Could always pick up the flight of the ball regardless of how bright the sun was. Super-light, but tough. PLayed catcher a few times and they really got knocked around, but never a scratch. Since mine are prescription, I paid a nice piece for them. But they are worth every penny. Best glasses I have ever owned.

Light and comfortable. Good optics. A nice pair of mid price range specs for daily use.

My first Oakley purchase, and based on performance, not my last.
