Oakley Inc announced the release of RADAR and FLAK JACKET, two new eyewear inventions engineered for sport training and competition. As the first products to feature the company's new HYDROPHOBIC lens coating technology, these designs extend Oakley's three-decade heritage of innovation in sport performance eyewear.
"These new inventions offer performance benefits that make them vital equipment for athletes," said Oakley, Inc. President Colin Baden. "Sport professionals demand nothing less than the very best, and we've been answering that challenge for decades. When we developed BLADES in the 1980s and the M FRAME in the 1990s, we utilized world-class athletes to create the ultimate in performance eyewear. Athletes have won more championships and medals with M FRAME than with any other single sport product on earth. We expect RADAR and FLAK JACKET to continue building on this heritage."
"The proving ground for these new eyewear designs was in Kona at Ironman 2006. Seven of the race's top 10 finishers relied on RADAR and FLAK JACKET in the grueling 112 miles of cycling and 26.2-mile run," continued Baden. "This marked another milestone and watershed moment for Oakley's sport performance technology, made possible by all the engineers and athletes who contributed to the development of these new inventions. We are making history, again."
Featured with the new products is Oakley HYDROPHOBIC, a permanent lens coating technology that performs three critical functions. First, it prevents moisture buildup, so rain and sweat won't compromise performance during training and competition. Second, it helps prevent organic substances such as skin oils from "wetting" the lens surface, so the lenses are smudge resistant and easy to keep clean.
Third, its anti-static properties prevent the lenses from attracting dust and particles. These combined properties help prevent moisture and contaminates from corrupting vision during the heat of competition, ensuring the highest possible level of optical clarity and performance.
