Oakley Racing Jacket TransitionsOakley Racing Jacket Transitions
Oakley has partnered with Transitions Optical to create lenses that darken and lighten automatically. The patented innovations of Oakley optics are blended with photochromic technology which actively tunes the amount of light that reaches your eyes. Even better, the lenses include base colors that precisely balance light transmission and boost visual contrast to improve depth perception. This unique blend of innovations gives you the ultimate in performance and comfort while improving safety in environments ranging from overcast to bright sun. Jet Black/Black Persimmon to Grey (13-710) We poured adrenaline into optical armor for high-G assaults on common sense. The patented innovations of Oakley’s HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) give RACING JACKET® a range of peripheral clarity unrivaled in the industry. Ram-air surge ports provide defogging ventilation, and UNOBTAINIUM® components keep the hingeless, lightweight frame securely in place. Please note: These photochromic lenses are enhanced with performance base colors, so they do not fade to clear in the absence of sunlight. See our prescription lenses for additional options in photochromic lens technology. Note that prescription lenses for RACING JACKET® are available only in the non-vented lens version, but the frame itself still offers venting technology. Also note that photochromic lenses darken in response to UV light, and car windshields block most UV. RRP: £175
