Oakley Fuel Cell

When you need a visual boost, keep the Oakley Fuel Cell handy. Of course, it'll do more than just boost your vision. It'll also provide comfort and style at the drop of a hat. Oakley sunglasses always have tricks up their sleeve, and the Fuel Cell certainly doesn't disappoint.

These sunglasses aren't about blending in, they're about standing out. That's why Oakley has given them such a distinctive form. The frame front has a slick, agile feel to it that instantly makes waves and turns heads wherever it appears. Trust us when we say these shades demand respect. The stylish frame also hides some cunning tech. Formed from Oakley's O-Matter material, it's extremely light, giving it an almost weightless quality. O-Matter is also ultra-strong, so it won't buckle under pressure. This is a frame that's ready for whatever life throws at it.

This is an Oakley sunglass, so stunning visual performance is a must. The Fuel Cell gives you exactly that thanks to High Definition Optics (HDO), which provides clarity when you need it most. HDO works so well that not even varying light conditions will distort your view. You can enhance the lenses even further with Oakley's Iridium coating. It works by finely tuning light transmission to match your environment, and is especially useful in bright lights thanks to its glare-fighting abilities. If you're keen to mix it up even more, Oakley also offer their outstanding HD Polarised lenses.

Thanks to the filtering abilities of Oakley's Plutonite lenses, your eyes will be safe from UVA, UVB and UVC as harmful blue light up to 400 nm. So no matter how strong the sun is, your eyes will stay protected and your will vision remain clear.

Oakley has also covered impact protection. Should you face a projectile head-on or suffer a heavy fall, your lenses will take it. In fact, Oakley lenses are so strong that they easily meet ANSI Z87.1 basic impact standards. They also meet ANSI Z87.1 standards for optical precision thanks largely to their Plutonite construction.

Then there's dual lens polaric ellipsoid geometry. This is Oakley's way of shaping a lens to perform at its best. And it works brilliantly, allowing for much wider peripheral vision. The three-point fit is another hidden feature that makes a big difference. It stops you having to constantly adjust your sunglasses by keeping them in perfect optical alignment. This also ensures that your vision is kept sharp.

With all of their bases covered, Oakley Fuel Cell sunglasses combine both style and substance. Oakly never force you to choose between a sunglass that'll perform and a sunglass that'll keep you looking cool. Instead, they offer sunglasses like the Fuel Cell that have both athletic prowess and style.

Unobtainium grips means the sunglasses will stay where you want them and with at least 600 other patents Oakley is nothing like you’ve ever seen and nothing like you’ve ever worn.

And at Sunglasses Shop we’ve been fans of Oakley sunglasses since it first came to us all those years ago. Oakley’s blend of science and art means we can stock some of the best known and best loved sunglasses in performance and lifestyle eyewear.

The Story of Oakley Sunglasses

For Oakley, it all started with a mad-scientist Jim Jannard. He believed that everything could be made better. In 1975 Jim started out with just $300 and made a motorbike handgrip made from a uniquely new material, Unobtainium. It fitted the rider’s hand better than anything before it. It actually increased grip with sweat too.

Next came Jim’s real breakthrough. The O-Frame goggle, with its perfectly cylindrical arc, stayed on the MX scene for the next 17 years. Riding stars championed the goggles’ clarity and wide peripheral view.

The first Oakley sunglasses were Eyeshades and Tour de France cyclist Greg Lemond loved the protection it offered and was the first pro to approach Oakley.
Today Oakley is the mark of excellence for those who cannot compromise on performance. The designs blend technology and with more than 600 patents. It’s become a science at Oakley, but a science that’s combined with art to produce some of the best engineered sunglasses on the planet.

These days many regard Oakley’s research and development method as second to none and perhaps that’s their secret. But don’t take our word for it (well actually you should because we are the experts) but Oakley are worn by the elite for a reason. But you don’t need to be the best of the best to get the best.

Why Choose Oakley Sunglasses?

Oakley’s technology is immense too. The High Definition Optics (HDO) are unrivalled in their clarity. Your eyes won’t shift as they readjust their focus as can happen with inferior lenses, and you get the best impact protection too. And it’s not just in the lens, the frame will hold up just as well.  As we said, there's 600 patents and more.

A huge choice of lens tints gives you balanced light transmission for wherever your sport takes you; can improve depth perception or colour recognition and come in polarised, photochromic options. Iridium coatings will help with harmful UV and infra red and many are prescription friendly too.

Oakley redefine, transcend and reject convention.
