Polarized FIVES Sunglasses A new rendition of a coveted Oakley design, this easygoing style comes with a smooth edge of attitude. Sports legends inspired the look, and the unique architecture salutes the fact that no two athletes are alike. We created FIVES for small to medium size faces, giving them a tapered design that fits and feels right. Highlighted with metal icons, this comfortably lightweight design is made of durable Oakley O Matter®. Take a look at the sculpturally integrated hinges and smooth contouring, and you’ll see how this frame turns form into function with stylish curvature that helps maximize protection against sun, wind and side impact. Our Three-Point Fit holds the lenses in precise alignment while offering all-day comfort, unlike ordinary frames that hook the ears or fit with unbalanced pressure points. This design showcases the extreme “wrap” and “rake” made possible by Oakley technology. “Wrap” is the side-to-side curvature of lenses; “rake” is the up-and-down curvature. With more lens curvature, you have a larger/wider field of vision and greater protection from wind, side impact and UV rays that sneak around the edges of the frame. The 8.75-base curvature of FIVES is made possible with XYZ Optics®, our way of ensuring vision stays sharp across the entire lens contour. Performance and protection are so good that this sunglass meets every ANSI Z87.1 standard for clarity and impact resistance, and with pure Plutonite® lenses, you’ll have the added protection of 100% UV filtering. This frame is available with Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses (+2.00 through -4.00 combined power), and other premium options are available. Choose a lens with Iridium® coating for precisely balanced light transmission that helps you maximize performance, improve safety and reduce fatigue caused by eyestrain. Enjoy glare reduction greater than 99% with Oakley HDPolarized lenses made with a process that eliminates the haze and optical distortion common to ordinary polarized lenses. Durability and all day comfort of lightweight, stress-resistant O Matter® frame material Comfortable fit on small to medium faces via condensed cranial geometry Precision and durability of sculpturally integrated hinge mechanisms with dual action CAM Comfort and Performance of Three-Point Fit that holds lenses in precise optical alignment Metal Icon Accents Oakley HD Polarized- Minimized glare via technology that produces the best polarized lenses on the planet with greater than 99% polarization efficiency (Optional) Optimized peripheral vision and side protection of 8.75 base lens curvature Optical precision, performance and impact resistance that meets all ANSI Z80.3 standards UV protection of Plutonite® lens material that filters out 100% of UVA/UVB/UVC & harmful blue light up to 400nm Impact resistance that meets ANSI Z87.1 basic impact standards Patented XYZ Optics® for maximum clarity at all angles of vision Glare reduction and tuned light transmission of Iridium lens coatings (optional) Minimized glare via technology that produces the best polarized lenses on the planet Oakley patented HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) provide unparalleled visual clarity and impact resistance that meets ANSI Z87.1 standards.

Date: September 21, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare
I've been an Oakley fan for quite some time now, and have several pairs of shades (including a few collectors editions) to prove it, and these are thus far the most amazing pair I have ever purchased. The fit is phenomenal and the optics are second to none. The weekend after they were delivered, I played several rounds of golf, went on a short fishing trip and did a bit of small game hunting and needless to say, they performed almost effortlessly. After a few hours, I didn't even notice I was wearing them! Two thumbs up to Oakley on another fantastic product!

Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare
This is my third pair of Oakleys. (lost my first pair) I like the way they wrap around my face without being tight. The design in the frame is stylish without being too bold. I wear these glasses when riding my Harley. They are great in protecting from the sun and wind.

Expensive Stuff...
Date: September 2, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, No glare, no water marks on lens Cons: color spectrums on tinted windows
Bloody expensive shades I ever had but it has it qualities. No doubt about that.
Only thing is the Polarized HDO does not go well with tinted cars. I see lots of color spectrums...
Will definitely bring Oakley to the limits...

Polarized Fives 12-993
Date: July 29, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare, really cool looking. Cons: Obstructed views, i didn't buy them sooner.
These are the first sunglasses I have bought where I have spent over a hundred dollars. To give you an example, these are replacing my $30 Wal-Mart specials. I had NO idea what I was missing. The clarity, color, and fit of these glasses are awesome! Going outside in the full sun, the colors of everyday objects are still radiant and clear, whereas my old glasses just made everything...dark. The only thing I don't like is the bridge piece for the nose is a little thick and is in my view. But that is by no means a deal killer as there is plenty of viewing space in the lenses. Just something to get used to. I actually have a larger head...but these fit really well. I also like the styling of the silver text is cool as I wanted more than just plain black sunglasses. Good job Oakley!

Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, No glare
These are the best glasses i have ever owned. The clarity and the way they fit to my face are unmatched by any other galsses i've tried on. Once you've had them on for a while you cant even tell they're there. To make this short, best glasses ever!

fives are five stars
Date: July 14, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, No glare
The FIVES are by far the lightest and most comfortable pair of sunglasses I have owned. I've always had a hard time finding a pair of sunglasses that fit right on by face but these ones fit great and have excellent UV blocking capabilities.

Obstructed view
Date: June 26, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, No glare Cons: Obstructed views
Just got these and really like the design, feel comfortable, and have good coverage. Only flaw that I have noticed and I can't understand why this was done, is the text Polarized is embedded on the left bottom lense. This is very irritating and very noticeable in your periphial vision. May have to trade out for the non-polarized or switch to the Flak Jacket to resolve this. If some writing in your periphial vision does not bother you, these are great.

Just picked up the new Fives, and once again Oakley comes through with quality product. Comfortable (I absolutely love that they don't wrap around the ear), they seem pretty durable, though I haven't put them to any real test yet. My only "con" thus far is the visibility, but only because I'm used to the half-jackets that have no bottom frame. I'm sure it will take little time to get used to. I have a medium size face and they fit perfect.
