OIL DRUM Brown Smoke/Dark Bronze (03-407)

OIL DRUM Brown Smoke/Dark Bronze (03-407)

OIL DRUM Sunglasses When the premier edition of OIL DRUM sunglasses hit the streets, people got out of its way. That kind of thing tends to happen when a perfect storm of science and art makes style so aggressively original that it calls down its own thunder. The idea of outdoing it was the furthest thing from our minds but when the legends of sports, music and life called it their own, we felt obligated. This new edition comes with redesigned stems that carve even more dimension with sculptural grooves and new icons. Durable yet lightweight O MATTER® frame material is shaped with a unique geometry that offers a comfortable fit on medium to large faces. We engineered it with sculpturally integrated hinges that work with dual cam action, and shaped the contours to create 8.75 base lens curvature. That’s how it offers such a wide peripheral view, and thanks to HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) and XYZ OPTICS®, you get razor-sharp clarity at every angle of vision. PLUTONITE® lens material helps protect that vision with 100% UV filtering. All that technology achieves a design that meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for optical performance and impact protection. This frame can be fitted with Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses (+2.0 to -3.0 combined power) in a wide range of options. For the non-prescription version, you can choose lenses with IRIDIUM® coating that balances light transmission and reduces glare. Optional Oakley polarized lenses remove 99% of glare without the haze and optical distortion found with ordinary polarized lenses. As far as lens color, go with Black IRIDIUM® or Grey Polarized for truer color perception in bright sun, or Grey for the same benefit in medium-bright sun. Select the Dark Bronze or Bronze Polarized lenses for enhanced visual contrast and improved depth perception in bright sunlight. 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 8.75 lens curvature 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 Available with Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses (+2.00 through -3.00 combined power)

Brown? My mistake...
Date: September 4, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity
Cons: feminine color

I purchased these sunglasses in the hopes they would look good if they matched my police uniform. Oops. I've had several of my co-workers "inform" me they look like women's sunglasses...even though I ordered them through the men's section!!! I like the idea of the bronze lenses. They really sooth your eyes and amplify small details in low light (which is important in law enforcement). Overall, good product, but if you're a guy I wouldn't recommend buying them in brown.

When you wanna feel like a star...
Date: May 5, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare

First of all, let me say that I've had this model for three years going on four now. I have taken these sunglasses with me everywhere, since then. I've taken them to China when I lived there for a year and they were always dependable! Glare is cut down like a hot knife through cold butter, and the Oakley's oil Drum is as durable as it is cool. I've dropped these glasses from 6 feet onto rock, (by accident of course) and they fell apart. Of course, I then realized how easily they snapped right back together to a perfect fit once again. Durable, sexy, and fit for a star. It should be noted that these glasses are big, and you will probably need a big head (like mine) for them. I plan to buy two more pairs, one in brown and one in black. And when I'm flying jets in the airforce, you can be sure that I'll be looking like a movie star.
