Oakley founded in 1975, with nearly 575 patents and 1100 trademarks is a major sport and lifestyle brand that produces high performance sunglasses, goggles, prescription lenses and frames. Its leading brand portfolio includes Eye Safety Systems, Fox Racing, Mosley Tribes, Oakley, Paul Smith Spectacles and Oliver People. The Oakley Fives Squared Sunglasses is another innovative Sports/ Athletics sunglass. If ordinary sunglass does not fit, then Fives Squared is the way to go.
Condensed Cranial Geometry:
We know that conventional sunglasses stick out at the sides, but this Fives Squared sunglass make use of Condensed Cranial Geometry is a tapered design that could curve with your face. Besides, it produces a comfortable fit and offers protection on small to medium faces because wind, UV and projectiles do not avoid the challenge of tighter targets. The sculpturally integrated hinges are made with dual cam action that helps fit perfectly well to the wearer’s head size without applying any pressure and is designed in a way so as to always return to its desired position. This construction also accounts for greater durability. Dimensional reliefs and Metal Square O Icon design of the sunglass gives it a cool, street-smooth style.
Three-Point Fit:
The Three-Point Fit helps comfortably hugs the nose and behind the ears while they hold the lenses in accurate optical alignment, thereby maximizing comfort. This Oakley Fives Squared eyewear comes with High Definition Optics (HDO) that gives you clear, crisp images while it blocks the glare from water, snow or other reflective surfaces guaranteeing you the best visual performance.
Frame material:
This sunglass features an O MATTER frame material making the sunglass stress-resistant, impact-resistant, light-weight and adds to your all-day comfort. The optical precision & performance and impact protection of this sunglass conforms to ANSI Z87.1 basic impact standards. The 8.75 base lens curvature of the eye wear provide extended peripheral vision and better side protection against sunlight, wind and impact. The XYZ Optics, one of the patented innovations does not distort light/images like most sunglasses and maintains sharp, visual clarity in all directions/angles.
Plutonite Lens coating:
This Oakley Fives Squared Sports & Athletic sunglass also utilizes a substance called Plutonite for coating the lens that filters out and blocks 100% of UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light up to 400 nm from the sun. On using, we found that the Plutonite is placed right in the lenses than simply being a coating. The FIVES SQUARED can be suitably fitted with Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses (+2.00 to -4.00 combined power); therefore this pair of sunglass will help you see whatever you want to see pretty clearly. There is an optional IRIDIUM lens coating available that helps in the reduction of glare and precisely balance light transmission.
Available Lenses:
Oakley has a gamut of colours available for corrective lenses and if you go for the non-prescription version, there is a wide range of stylish hues to choose from. Many a times, truer colour recognition is important when you are trailing down a mountain. There are a wide range of lenses available including Warm Grey, Black Iridium & Black Iridium Polarized for bright sun or Grey for medium bright light.
100% UV protection & increased visual contrast:
When you require visual contrast and increased depth perception, go for Bronze Polarized or Dark Bronze, both of which perform exceedingly well in bright sunlight. The polarized lens on this sunglass will kill 99% of glare without disturbing your vision with the haze and distortion generally found with ordinary polarized lenses. You do not have to worry about breaking because if the arms come off, they can pop right back into place. Also, the sunglass is anti-scratch resistant and does not scratch easily.
Accessories:
Sunglass accessories including Large Soft Vault, Large Metal Vault, Fives Squared / Fives 3.0 Replacement Lenses and Lens Cleaning Kit are available which you have to purchase individually. It is recommended that you get a large metal vault case for added storage protection.
Drawbacks:
One of the disadvantages is that this sunglass tends to sometimes fog in the cold. They are also a bit loose if you have a small head and the bridge above the nose is slightly bigger and so they may occasionally slide down.
Conclusion:
Created for outdoors wear, this Oakley sunglass is rough and tumble and is subjected to thorough testing before prior to being polarized. The lens does not pop out of the frame and its shatter-proof property makes it easily one of the most popular sunglasses among professional athletes.
