Nicky Hayden Signature Series OIL RIG Sunglasses The purr of cylinders becomes an angry growl and sweat steams body armor as he leans 325 pounds of aluminum and attitude low enough to scrape a slider and taunt the limits of sanity. He’s Nicky Hayden, The Kentucky Kid who became the MotoGP World Champion in 2006. We’re saluting him with a special edition of Oakley OIL RIG, an aggressive style worthy of a racer whose world rips by at more than 200 mph. Made for collectors and speed fanatics, this is the second edition of the Nicky Hayden Signature Series OIL RIG. We redesigned the metal icons for a new “split” look and kept the highlights, including custom graphics with Nicky’s traditional racing number. The Polished Black frame is matched with Black IRIDIUM® coated lenses to fuel clarity in bright light while reducing glare. Nicky’s signature is laser etched at the corner of the lens, and a custom printed MICROCLEAR™ bag is included for lens cleaning and frame storage. The comfortably lightweight frame of durable O MATTER® includes sculpturally integrated hinges with dual cam action. This premium design puts technology on the fast track with POLARIC ELLIPSOID™ geometry that creates a single continuous contour of PLUTONITE® lens material. HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) opens the throttle on peripheral vision with startling clarity. With OIL RIG sunglasses, the velocity of innovation blurs the line between science and art, and it salutes one of the hardest working racers on the circuit. 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

Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare, cheap
just picked up a pair today, returned the gas can's and i gotta say i made the right choice. these glasses are not too over priced considering they are LTD signature glasses. also popped on the polorized lenses cost a bit but well worth it as well. they are super light and fit just right. can't complain all together it was about 300.00 out the DR but i'm happy. that is with the polorized lenses as well, great buy not huge on pinkk O but people just hate cuz they are jealous.

I love these sunglasses! I had a pair of Riddles that I loved, but they were really heavy. These are super light and comfortable. They are a little loose on my face, but I'm a girl and they're guys sunglasses, so I figure they fit the guys a little more snug. Love them!

Nicky Hayden Oil Rigs

Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare
Picked up my pair of these sunnies last Friday, haven't been off of my head since. Not bad, seeing as how I'm light sensitive and wear sunnies inside as well as outside. They are nice and sturdy and stand up to the rigours of rattling around in my backpack when I'm on the bike as well.
Excellent set of sunnies, up there with my my Maui Jim's :0
