Oakley Sunglasses for Women

Over 50 Olympic medals were awarded to the snowboarders, speed-skaters hockey players and other athletes that relied on Oakley’s high performance eye wear during the 2006 winter games in Turino, Italy. The company has proven that it’s medal worthy in terms of function, but what about fun- and fashion for that matter? Oakley has designed the first eyewear collection exclusively with women in mind. This gender-specific collection includes three new designs with lenses available in a magnitude of colors and gradient shading. The Plutonite lens material helps filter out 100% of damaging UV, UVB and UVC rays, as well as up to 400 nm. of harmful blue lighting. Its high definition meets ultimate Oakley fashion with a free sleek eyewear case available with every purchase. Grapevine and Script designs are available for any prescription.
