OIL RIG Sunglasses When we created our premier OIL RIG, we put an embargo on conventional thinking and made fossil fuel out of ordinary designs. This latest edition comes with redesigned stem architecture that puts the icon of innovation in the crosshairs of dimensional grooves. Art meets attitude in a sunglass that carries a single continuous lens across contours of lightweight O MATTER® frame material. Our unique geometries curve the frame so even medium-size faces get a precise fit that doesn’t stick out at the sides. The sculpturally integrated hinges are engineered with dual cam action, and the linear ear stems provide a comfortably secure grip. HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) takes advantage of POLARIC ELLIPSOID™ lens geometry to maintain clarity while curving the lenses for optimal side protection and extended peripheral view. Our PLUTONITE® lens material filters out every ray of UV, and both impact protection and optical precision meet ANSI Z87.1 standards. Multiple lens options are available including IRIDIUM® lens coatings that balance light transmission and reduce glare, and you can get Oakley polarization that removes 99% of eye-straining glare without the haze and optical distortion found with ordinary polarized lenses. For truer color perception in bright sun, choose the Warm Grey, Black IRIDIUM® or Grey Polarized lens. The Grey lens is optimized for medium-bright sun. For enhanced visual contrast that boosts depth perception in bright sun, get the Tungsten IRIDIUM® or Bronze Polarized lens. Comfortable fit on medium to large faces via extended wrapped frame geometry Precision and durability of sculpturally integrated hinge mechanisms with dual action CAM Durability and all-day comfort of lightweight, stress-resistant O Matter® frame material Integrated sculptural metal icon accents Optimized peripheral view and side coverage of Polaric Ellipsoid™ lens geometry Optical precision and impact resistance meet or exceed ANZI Z87.1 optical and basic impact standards UV protection of Plutonite® lens material that filters out 100% of UVA / UVB / UVC & harmful blue light up to 400nm Maximized clarity at all angles of vision with patented Oakley XYZ Optics® Glare reduction and tuned light transmission of Iridium® lens coating (optional)

Best sunglasses period
Date: June 17, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare
These sunglasses are perfect! Earlier this year they actually saved me from fracturing my eye socket by taking the force of the impact without breaking or even scratching! Needless to say, I am very very happy with these, Oakley definitely stands for something other than "a popular brand". If you want quality and protection for your eyes look no further.

In Your Face
Date: June 11, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, No glare Cons: wear points
The Oil Rig is a pair that I would describe as "In Your Face". Its a big pair of sunnies that give you total coverage from the rays. The frame is very big and busy with text covering the frame leaving the observer curious to comprehend what's going on there. As for the new improved Icon. It has a 3D effect which only adds to the "In Your Face" claim I am giving this pair of sunnies.
A very nice fit and comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Only small issue is that the text wears off at the contact points.

Many nods & compliments
Date: June 8, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity Cons: wish red or gold text was available too!
White Oil Rig with Text is a great look, a wide windshield lens (vs. Oil Drum's two eyepiece lenses). It would tend to reason that a white frame would be surf or ski themed, but not so. It looks good as an accessory with casual wear or something more "corporate" in nature. I get a good deal of people asking about these, so it's easy to let them try them on and have a look themselves. What appears to be a very large frame doesn't look or feel large at all when you're wearing them. Great all around protection from the sun! I have 1st generation Oil Rig, with larger Square O logo, the newer castle-style logo is neat, now that it is available thru the custom program in many colors...

An aggressive shield
Date: May 22, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity
As the gascan model has increased in popularity, many similar models have appeared. The Oil Drum, and now the Oil Rig have followed that path. With larger stems, the scupting has had more flexibility, and the large shield lens covers more than enough of your vision.
They do tend to be on the heavier side, but O Matter keeps the weight managable. For an everyday pair, these fit the bill very nicely.
