Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

You won’t find satellites or lunar rovers on Oakley's product list but when they engineer a frame for unparalleled durability and minimized weight, they earn their place in the space race. That’s because they start with the same metal used in orbital vehicles, titanium, and they craft it into alloys like this memory metal. It offers a flexible, adaptable fit while achieving a weight that seems to forget about that whole gravity thing. Matched with supple Unobtainium components that increase grip with sweat, it’s the secret behind the all-day comfort of the Nanowire 4.0. Oakley took the unbeatable clarity and precision of High Definition Optics (HDO®) and matched them with a permanent Hydrophobic coating that gives water sheens the slip, repels dirt and dust, and even maintains a smudge-resistant barrier against skin oils and lotions. The back of each lens has anti-reflective coating, and the lens curvature maximizes peripheral vision with XYZ Optics. Iridium lens coating balances light transmission so the rays you need are boosted while the ones you don’t are reduced. Optical performance and impact resistance meet ANSI Industrial Standards, and the Plutonite lenses filter out 100% of all UV.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where are those glasses?, October 25, 2008

By 

Tsubasa1 "Musically Disapointed..." - See all my reviews

I have owned these glasses for about 2 months now and I can confidently say that I am very satisfied with my purchase. They are so light that you almost forget that they are on your head. They are great at providing full coverage for my eyes and the polarization provides great clarity on those really bright days.

The only downside is that they are a bit on the expensive side. I cant testify to the durability; if past purchases of Oakley prove to be the bench mark you are in for a long ownership. (Assuming you don't loose them!)

On the plus side for Amazon these were about $150 cheaper on Amazon then they were at the retailer (in Singapore)....buy them while they still have stock!

5.0 out of 5 stars You Get What You Pay For, June 18, 2010

This review is from: Oakley Men's Nanowire 4.0 Iridium Polarized Sunglasses (Apparel)

This review is for black frame/black iridium lenses

These are hands-down the best sunglasses I've ever worn. If you tend to wear sunglasses for extended periods, especially in harsh conditions, there's a good chance you understand the benefits of splurging on good eyewear. For me, function is more important than form though these glasses bring both together in a fantastic package. They are a certainly a little pricey but to me they are worth it.

The Pros:
1. The optical clarity is flawless through entire field of vision.
2. The polarization cuts out almost all glare. I generally wear only polarized sunglasses but the technology used here is noticeably better than anything I've used previously.
3. Incredibly light weight and comfortable. It's very easy to forget you have them on.
4. Excellent coverage.
5. Look great.

The Cons:
1. Lower price would be great but they are worth the premium price tag.

I can't really rate durability yet but with the flexible titanium frame and lenses that meet ANSI standards, I'm hoping they last a very long time. Time will tell.

The bottom line: I'm very satisfied with my purchase and believe they are worth every penny I paid as long as they hold up the way Oakleys generally do.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love them!, June 30, 2011

I bought these because my other Oakleys sprouted legs and ran away when I was deployed(ensure you keep an eye on them all the time) I've owned these for over a year and can honestly say that if you ever try using other glasses you will really appreciate these...they are light, clear, consistent and light (yeah it's worth mentioning twice) I use them for trekking, climbing, hunting, fishing(AWESOME BTW), work, driving, bicycling... pretty much anything which would benefit wearing sunglasses/eye protection and love them... I love them and I'm thinking about getting another pair just in case since this model is now discontinued... Oakley was dumb getting rid of these!
