Oakley Airbrake

Earlier this year something special landed at Sunglasses Shop. It was the Oakley Airbrake. 's so good Shaun White has actually changed his snow eyewear to a pair of these incredible goggles. That should say it all. The world’s most successful and talented extreme sports athlete actually changed his gear to Oakley Airbrake. That’s how good Oakley Airbrake is. It’s a big deal.

Many offer the promise of an easy to change lens system, but few deliver. And in that lies the beauty of Oakley Airbrake. Using Oakley’s tried and tested SwitchLock system, at the flick of a switch and a lock into place your lens is different. Your view is better. Your performance is mountain-top.

If you snowboard you’ll know that changing your lens hardly happens. It’s a hassle, one that keeps you away from actual snowboarding and since Oakley released the Jawbone lens the SwitchLock tech has revolutionised the lens changing world.

And the world has a habit of changing its mind – pretty quickly too, if it chooses.

As we said earlier, lens changing is nothing new in the snowy world of goggles but conventional technology can have some serious drawbacks. Vision can be skewed with the uneven pressure on inserted lenses, impact protection can be compromised and more importantly changing the lens can be a real drawn out affair.


Oakley SwitchLock. Problem solved

The architecture of the Oakley Airbrake offers you comfort all-day. The Airbrake frame is crafted from durable and lightweight O Matter with a rigid front and a flexible chassis, so the front eliminates nasal area pressure while maximising airflow. Pressure around your face is evenly distributed, and Airbrake will work perfectly without a helmet too. There’s also triple layer of polar fleece foam that balances pressure and wicks away moisture. And of course Oakley’s UV beating Plutonite lenses offers the best in clarity with anti-fog F3 tech and a thermal barrier of between the dual lens.

Whatever your surface Oakley Goggles are designed for the best. Whether you’re shredding snow-capped mountains or destroying dirt tracks it’s performance and protection all the way down, over and along with Oakley goggles.

Of course, it’s Oakley so it’s the best in frame construction and design and that means protection and clarity in each and every corner. You’ll see clearer with the extended size lenses and their anti-fog properties. But it’s as much about the Oakley attitude.

Don’t take our word for it (well actually you should because we are the experts) but Oakley goggles are worn by the elite for a reason. But you don’t need to be the best of the best to get the best. You can really give the elements a show too though.

Oakley are fanatics about everything to do with gravity, risk and snow capped peaks. Try on a pair of their goggles, you’ll see why the best wear them. They’re that great.
