The special edition is designed with the colors of the Lance Armstrong Foundation logo and "LIVESTRONG" is laser etched at the bottom corner of its pure Plutonite lens.
For the first two releases in its coveted series of LIVESTRONG frames, Oakley chose two of its most technically advanced performance sunglasses: the single-lens sport shield known as Radar and the dual-lens eyewear called Flak Jacket.
As with the new special-edition M Frame, component colors salute the foundation log and "LIVESTRONG" is laser etched on the lens. Included in the custom packaging is a specially tagged Microclear bag for lens cleaning and eyewear storage.
The third release in the special-edition series was Straight Jacket, a performance design that shares several premium features with Radar and Flak Jacket.
This includes Oakley's High Definition Optics (HDO), 100% UV filtering, Unobtainium components that increase grip with sweat, and a permanent Hydrophobic lens coating that maintains a smudge-resistant barrier against skin oils, sunscreens and lotions while repelling dust and preventing water from leaving sheens that can corrupt vision.
Located in Austin, Texas, the Lance Armstrong Foundation empowers and inspires those who are living with cancer. The foundation is resolved in its belief that in the battle with cancer, unity is strength, knowledge is power and attitude is everything.
Forced off his bike in 1996 by excruciating pain, Armstrong was diagnosed with testicular cancer that eventually spread to his lungs and brain.
He underwent surgery and chemotherapy that eroded his muscles and gave him permanent kidney damage. Refusing to quit and ignoring the slim odds of survival given by doctors, Armstrong gradually rebuilt his body and went on to win the Tour de France seven years in a row.
