Which Oakley is for You?

In general, Oakley sunglasses are divided into three main categories: sport, active, and lifestyle. Each area has distinct benefits. We'll give a brief explanation below.

Of course, the sport category is self-explanatory. These models focus on those who will be wearing their glasses while participating in a sports-related activity. There are several models to choose from, including specific ones, like the Radar Range for golf. The sports models are meant to withstand the rigors of activity as well as enhance any athlete's most important sense -- their vision.

The active line of sunglasses walks the line between sport and style. The glasses are rugged and functional but have a sense of fashion that also makes them a good choice for everyday use. The frames in this family tend toward the lightweight,like the Oakley Monster Dog. making them very comfortable to wear for long periods.

And finally, the lifestyle family is the choice that takes a fashion-first approach. The selections from this category will make certain that you stand out in a crowd. However, these glasses aren't just about looks. You'll still manage to protect your eyes from UVA/UVB/UVC rays while still looking your very best.

For added benefits, selections from each family come in a polarized version. These are great if you participate in a lot of activities in which glare must be at an absolute minimum. Also, for those that need glasses for environments where the lighting changes frequently and intensely, Oakley offers PhotoChromic versions of the Jawbone, the Flak Jacket, and Radar models from their sport collection.
