Oakley – Protective style from California

The Californian label Oakley has been dedicated to sports accessories for several decades. With their high functional value and unmistakable style, the products fit the philosophy of ASMC.

Protection for head, hand and foot

Oakley's portfolio includes functional underwear, hats/beanies, gloves, shoes, pilot's, ski and sunglasses and other accessories. As an outfitter for athletes, adventurers and the military, the focus is on practical aspects. The manufacturer has the various missions of the future wearers in mind when designing and manufacturing. This should also be considered when purchasing, for example: the Oakley sunglasses you choose should not only be visually appealing, but also correspond to the range of applications.

Functionality comes before style

Since 1980, Oakley Eyewear has been producing glasses that have become stars in action films on several occasions. The latest models with "M-Frame" are particularly popular and have been used in films with Matt Damon, for example. This CV is chic, but should not be a guideline when choosing a model. At its core, it is about protecting the eyes during leisure activities. These practical properties depend not only on the fit and material quality of the accessories. Whether the protection corresponds to the personal field of vision must be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Oakley boots offer grip, cushioning and warm protection in all weather conditions. To maintain this characteristic, regular care of the leather upper is important. This prevents a brittle and cracked surface that impairs functional characteristics.

Questions and answers about Oakley

What does iridium mean?
Iridium is the name given to a special type of coating on Oakley glasses that is intended to prevent reflections and improve vision in various situations, including in some models through polarization (see below). In principle, this is a contrast-enhancing lens tint for even greater contrast adjustment and greater glare protection. At oakley.com and the lens tint simulator, you can see a direct comparison between normal vision and glasses with iridium. The following different iridium coatings are available in three categories:

What does polarization mean in glasses?
Many glasses models are available with polarization or a vertical polarization filter. They are colloquially known as "fishing glasses" and are particularly interesting for drivers and boaters. They help to reduce glare, especially when the sun is at a medium altitude or the road is reflective when it is wet.

How do you change or replace nose pads?
Replacement parts are available for many glasses, but not for all models. According to Oakley, in this case you should follow the instructions on the warranty page to return the sunglasses.
