Oakley Custom

Oakley have worked hard for their reputation as a premium eyewear specialist. They pass tests for clarity with flying colours, are known for their lens strength for safety, and their broad range of frames means there is something to suit just about anyone’s face shape – or taste.

After playing around with a set of the Radarlocks, we wanted to look at something that didn’t scream ‘XC nerd’ as much. The Radarlock are an awesome set of glasses, and their shape and design is all about performance and ease of use. But for some, the Racing Jacket has a bit more style. The frame encloses the whole lens, but opens via the lower ‘jaw’ to allow for lens changes.

The frame, jaw, lenses, etching, logos, ear socks and thru bolt can all be changed in the custom program. You can make them match your bike, your helmet, your eyes or even your favourite footy team.

We played around for a little while until coming up with this (use a picture of the glasses). But you can do the same via the Oakley Custom page, (http://au.oakley.com/custom/) and choose from seven different models.

We’ll have a full review of the Oakley’s in a coming issue. But why not check out the custom site and play around?
