Oakley Radar EV Prizm Sapphire Snow Cycling Glasses

The Oakley Radar EV Prizm cycling glasses are the successor to the legendary Oakley Radar, but with many upgrades. After decades of research and testing with world’s best athletes, it turned out that the lens frame was partly in cyclists’ field of view. Oakley got down to work on this and designed a larger lens that provides a better and larger field of view. Another new addition are new ‘surge ports’ to retain a cooling stream of air. The lightweight yet incredibly sturdy frame is created with Oakley’s own O-Matter material. Combined with the HDO and Plutonite lens material, this results in better protection for your eyes. In short: say goodbye to your old Radar, because the new Radar EV Prizm is so much better! This Radar EV builds on the legend created by the old Radar. “The king is dead, long live the king.”

Fit & Protection

A good fit means better results and protection. The combination of the flexible, durable O-matter material with the Plutonite lenses guarantee maximum protection in all conditions!

HDO

HDO stands for High Definition Optics, which in turn refers to the curvature of the lens itself. This curvature matches the natural curve of your eyes, ensuring you’ve always got a crystal clear and distortion-free view.

Field of View

Special optimised lens for cycling. The largest challenge was creating a lens that has a certain shape and size without the frame obstructing your view. This appeared a tough one, because during cycling you often have your head down, while you are looking up. But with this lens Oakley offers a field of view that is as large as necessary without any blind spots.

O-Matter

Impact resistant frame material that can handle the most extreme of conditions. This material is super light but incredibly durable. Controlled flexibility increases the impact resistance and also helps improve everyday comfort.

Plutonite lens material

One of the most optically pure materials used in modern glasses. The material ensures a clear view of what’s ahead and is capable of withstanding almost any impact. The lens filters out 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC, and harmful blue light frequencies up to 400 nm. There’s no separate coating on the lens. Rather, the lens itself is what offers protection from UV rays.

Impact Protection

After decades of innovation, Oakley Performance glasses offer an incredible level of no-compromise protection against high speed impacts and heavy impacts. The protection comes from the use of high-grade materials and the unique Oakley lens/frame design combination.

Three-Point Fit

A patented innovation which ensures the frame only touches the nose and sides of your head. This system ensures the lens is optimally aligned and the glasses feel comfortable, without causing the pressure points found with glasses fitted with hooked legs.

Ventilation

Thanks to the special “surge” ports, the air is channelled over the lenses to prevent them from fogging up. This way these glasses better meet the wishes of their users.

Prizm Sapphire Snow

The Radar EV Prizm Sapphire Snow lens is suited for sunny and partly overcast days thanks to its 13% light transmittance. The Prizm technology filters colours you don’t want to see and turns dull colours into warmer colours, which leads to better colour contrast. At first glance, the lens seems to have a blue colour, but the Sapphire Snow can ‘change’ colour. It’s no photochromic lens, but when light enters the lens from behind, it looks more pink than blue. This makes its user look through a mellow, comfortable pink lens. The more outside light hits the lens, the bluer it becomes. As a result, its wearer is looking through a mellow and comfortable pink lens. The more light comes in from outside, the bluer the lens becomes. The blue colour is picked up the most and then filtered more to what should be the real colour signal, making not only the blue colour brighter and deeper, but also the red and green colours. This 'colour enhancement' is much more relaxing for the eye throughout the day.
