Oakley was founded in 1975 by Californian Jim Jannard, who named the company after his English Setter. In the brand’s earliest days, Jannard made motocross grips in his garage. His goal was to give athletes an edge with a more ergonomic product.
That solutions-oriented, edge-seeking spirit quickly led to innovations in eyewear, beginning with the O Frame motocross goggles in 1980 and the Eyeshade cycling sunglasses in 1984. By the mid-1980s, Oakley had become a go-to brand for elite athletes and action sports communities. From the iconic Frogskins to cutting-edge Prizm™ lens technology, Oakley has consistently combined science, bold design, and athlete insight to push the boundaries of sport. Over the years, Oakley has become an active lifestyle brand with a broad range of products. That same function-first, innovation-driven approach has extended to apparel, protective gear, and accessories for athletes who go all out in demanding environments.
Oakley makes rugged, functional products designed to give athletes an edge. From sunglasses and goggles to apparel and protective gear, everything is designed and manufactured to enhance performance and safety. The brand’s look is as bold as its performance. With angular lines, futuristic forms, and a design language shaped by sport, Oakley stands out everywhere it goes, whether on the road, in the mountains, or downtown.
While conventional lenses simply darken vision, Prizm lens technology enhances clarity, colour, and contrast by filtering certain light wavelengths. This allows athletes to pick up crucial visual details, a key to performance and safety in sports like skiing and cycling.
All the company’s lenses are made from this material, which is designed to block 100% of UVA and UVB light up to 400 nm.
Oakley’s High Definition Optics® standard solves the problem of the distortion caused by lens curvature. This ensures clarity and accuracy across your entire field of vision.
