Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Oakley doesn't mind being repeat offenders when it comes to thrashing the world’s idea of performance. Take a look at the Inmate and you’ll see why. Assertive style with a honed edge, it’s a look that refuses to be caged or even take orders, for that matter. Five metal compounds are fused to create durable C-5™, a lightweight alloy that unlocks comfort. The frame makes contact only at the nose bridge and temples, thanks to a Three-Point Fit that utilizes Unobtanium components to increase grip with sweat. High Definition Optics (HDO®) offers unbelievable clarity while letting the lenses contour to your peripheral view. Their Plutonite lens material blocks 100% of all UVA, UVB and UVC, and even stops harmful blue light up to 400nm. When it comes to impact protection, they meet all ANSI Z80.3 Industrial Standards. The polarized lenses are engineered to block the blinding, eye-straining rays of glare that are magnified by flat surfaces such as snow, water and pavement.

Product Description

Incarcerated for not playing nice with others, the Oakley Inmate Polarized Sunglasses developed a rounded edge of refinement to conceal an aggressive nature. Oakley's three-point fit makes contact only at the bridge of your nose and the temples to ensure ultimate comfort, and ultra-lightweight C-5 alloy frames help reduce the pressure of being locked up. Curved Plutonite polarized lenses block all UV light and even stop harmful blue light up to 400nm, so when you get released from your cell you not only look like Billy Ocean, but you see the angles like him as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Shades I've Ever Owned, January 5, 2010

Bought a pair at the O store and they were stolen. I almost broke down. I absolutley loved those shades. Well, I had to buy another pair. If you're gonna buy sunshades, you gotta get polarized.

4.0 out of 5 stars Style, Protection, & Quality You Can Feel, June 2, 2010

I would first like to confess that I have not had these sunglasses for a long period of time, but from the first time I put them on, I knew they were a cut above the rest of the sunglasses I have owned. While these are not my first pair of expensive sunglasses, they are my first Oakleys and I am impressed. While a little on the heavy side (read: made with durable, quality materials), these glasses look great and draw compliments. Whether you prefer Aviator or Square Lens style sunglasses, these should be aesthetically pleasing to/for your eyes. Pictures don't accurately convey the size of these frames, but while they are certainly robust, I would be hesitant to call them huge. I liked these so much, I bought the same style in Polished Gold/Gray. The difference between polarized and non-polarized lenses is barely noticeable in my opinion, so I don't believe it justifies the difference in price, hence the loss of one star.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Polarized Model Should Be a Must!, March 2, 2010

By	M E Ewaishy "countbernadot" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Oakley Men's Inmate Iridium Polarized Sunglasses

These are the Inmate Polarized in Brushed Chrome Frame and Light Black/Dark Gray lenses which, Denzel Washington wore during the entire duration of his movie "The Book Of Eli", and through which, the movie was depicted. The effect was that eerie darkened and grayed ambiance putatively depicting life after the great gloom.

The lenses are extra dark, allowing only about 15% of light to pass and the polarization cuts 99% of the glare. It is recommended for the ultra sunny summer days where the eyes should be protected against the harmful spectrum of sunlight and the annoying bright day glare.

The glasses have a very symmetric design as well as understated character, giving them appeal to mature men with a strong sense of self awareness, and a very masculine outlook. They are not for the faint-hearted or the flamboyant type. Even women who normally prefer men's glasses will not be found sharing them with their men; they are simply too masculine to pass for unisex.

surprisingly, These glasses are very comfy to wear all day long even though Oakley describes them as Racing Eyewear , meaning very tight and they stick to your face; literally. Only be very careful putting them on in a hurry; the straight arms have a love affair with eye pupils; they tend to look for and poke your eye as an expression of that love!

All in all, if you like the Oakley brand but could not find an understated model, these should satisfy the most discerning men who are looking for a subtle statement of strength and self confidence, and full eye protection.

5-Star for design, 5-Star for appeal, 5-star for functionality, 5-Star for esoterics, f-Star for Material, and 5-Star for bang for the buck .
