In addition, customers can choose lenses that utilize photochromic technology, a benefit of Oakley's partnership with Transitions Optical. Oakley lenses that are Activated By Transitions feature specially engineered colors including those that maximize visual contrast to improve depth perception in low-light environments.

Oakley's new STRAIGHT JACKET eyewear is based on a highly successful frame design that originated more than a decade ago. This new edition combines aggressive styling with the unbeatable performance of High Definition Optics (HDO), as well as patented XYZ Optics to maintain clarity at all angles of vision.

Protection meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for both high-velocity and high-mass impact, and the pure Plutonite lenses filter out 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm. The durable, lightweight O Matter frame utilizes soft Unobtainium components to increase grip with perspiration, part of a Three-Point Fit that holds the lenses in precise optical alignment and offers all-day comfort.

MINUTE 2.0 is a new edition of a popular sport performance frame that was specially engineered for a comfortable fit on small to medium size faces. With the patented innovations of Oakley HDO, it exceeds all standards of ANSI Z87.1, the industry's yardstick for optical precision.

MINUTE 2.0 includes premium features found in the new STRAIGHT JACKET, including Plutonite lenses, O Matter frame material, Unobtainium components, UV protection, and a precise Three-Point Fit. This performance eyewear also meets all ANSI Z87.1 standards for impact protection.

In addition to photochromic lenses, customers can choose Iridium lens coatings that are specially formulated to reduce glare and balance light transmission, as well as polarized lenses to optimize performance and safety in environments that threaten vision with blinding glare. Both eyewear styles can be fitted with Oakley prescription lenses that offer the benefits of HDO.
