OAKLEY Sutro Eyewear Collection

OAKLEY is a well-known brand that sells sports equipment as well as lifestyle products, including eyewear. With its diverse assortment, OAKLEY is at the forefront of the evolving sporting goods and equipment industry. The company’s owner and founder Jim Jannard started his business in 1975. His initial investment was $300 and he started his business in a garage. The first developed product was the OAKLEY Grip, which he began selling on the back of his car at a number of different motocross events. Currently, all of the optional rubber eyewear grips that are made by OAKLEY are made from Unobtainium. This material has also been used in the production of some types of nanometers. Since then, OAKLEY has started to diversify its product portfolio, gradually introducing several other products such as visors, elbow pads, and chin guards, as well as special sports glasses designed exclusively for BMX and motorcycle enthusiasts.

The success of OAKLEY sunglasses has exceeded all expectations. The company began to gain world fame. The production of motorcycles and ski eyewear gave a way to the leadership niche in the brand's range of sunglasses. Presenting its Sutro collection to the world, the brand was confident in the success of the catalog, and was not mistaken: these models really sell out quickly. For example, one of such products is a sunglasses model called Sutro S OO9462, which gives its customer a wide choice of 6 color combinations. The Sutro Ti OO6013 model, made of reliable titanium, is no less exciting. The eyes are immediately captivated by the slightly curved temples of an unusual shape. However, there is no need to worry about the comfort of such sunglasses, because OAKLEY always knows its business.

Since 1989, all OAKLEY sunglasses have been marked with the abbreviation HDO - High Definition Optics. It means that OAKLEY glasses have passed many laboratory tests that confirm their optical correctness. All OAKLEY sunglasses lenses, including Sutro OO9406 and Sutro (A) OO9406A models, are manufactured using high-quality Plutonite polycarbonate. A distinctive feature of this material is its excellent ratio of low weight and high strength, and at the same time, it produces crystal clear sun-protective lenses that protect against all types of ultraviolet radiation. A pair of lenses are cut from a solid piece of polycarbonate, after which they are turned and cleaned with ultrasound. After that, the lenses are not separated but used only together. This is done to give both lenses in a pair of glasses identical optical parameters. And indeed, in such a model as Sutro Lite OO9463 or Sutro Lite (A) OO9463A, it is impossible to find asymmetry.

OAKLEY has many other production specifics. The dye, which gives a certain color to the initially transparent polycarbonate, is added directly at the time of the creation of the polycarbonate granules. Thanks to this, the finish results in a lens that has the same color over the entire thickness. Due to such a technical solution, not a single chip or scratch will affect the contrast of the lenses and the degree of its darkening. Most often, small optical distortions created by glasses are invisible to our eyes, as our brain compensates for them. This is achieved due to the additional tension of the muscles around the lens and the eye itself, which often leads to premature fatigue of our vision and even headaches. The frames and lenses of OAKLEY sunglasses in the Sutro collection are designed so that no matter how they sit on the face, their focus will not be distorted.

Current collections of the OAKLEY brand, including Sutro, can offer innovative materials and modern technologies. Casual pieces contain iconic designs and classic rectangular sunglasses inspired by movie icons. Frames are mostly made of nylon plastic. Along with the everyday line, OAKLEY traditionally offers sports glasses. The temples and the tip of the nose are made of rubberized material. Among the classic models, we can find mirrored, modern, colored, or vintage OAKLEY optics. Brand sunglasses from the Sutro line are available in a variety of shapes to suit any face type. Choosing OAKLEY sunglasses means not only selecting designer products but above all, buying items made from the best materials on the market.
