Product Information

Full details

The Oakley Sphaera Slash Sunglasses are designed for athletes and active individuals seeking performance eyewear that minimizes interference and maximizes field of view. A key benefit is the reduced cheek crash due to the alternative lens shape, while a potential consideration is the specific fit required for the 'no-slip grip' features to be most effective. These sunglasses feature a lightweight O Matter™ frame, a front vent for enhanced airflow, Prizm™ Lens Technology for optimized color and contrast, and Unobtainium® components for a secure fit.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the "slash" lens shape?

The alternative "slash" lens shape is designed to reduce contact with the wearer's cheek, minimizing friction and potential irritation during high-impact activities.

How does Prizm™ Lens Technology improve vision?

Prizm™ Lens Technology fine-tunes vision by enhancing colors and contrast in specific environments, making details sharper and more vivid.

Will these sunglasses fit comfortably with a helmet?

Yes, the design of the earsocks and the lightweight frame are intended to provide a comfortable and secure fit with most helmets.

How do I clean my Oakley Sphaera Slash Sunglasses?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the lenses or damage coatings.

Are these sunglasses suitable for all sports?

The Sphaera Slash is optimized for sports performance with features like enhanced airflow and a secure grip. They are particularly well-suited for activities involving dynamic movement.

What makes the Unobtainium® components effective?

Unobtainium® is a synthetic material that increases its grip when exposed to moisture (like sweat), ensuring the sunglasses stay securely in place during strenuous activity.

Can I replace the lenses on the Sphaera Slash?

Lens replacement availability depends on the specific model and may require professional service. Please refer to Oakley's official support for information on replacement parts.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or are sliding down the nose.

Ensure the Unobtainium® nosepads and earsocks are clean and free of oils. If the fit is still not secure, consider consulting an optician for potential fitting adjustments or replacement parts.

Lenses are fogging up during activity.

Verify that the front frame vent is clear of debris. Ensure the sunglasses are positioned correctly on your face for optimal airflow. Cleaning the lenses can also help improve air circulation.

Vision seems distorted or colors appear unnatural.

This may indicate that the Prizm™ lens technology is functioning as intended by enhancing specific colors. If you experience discomfort, ensure the correct lens type for your environment is being used. Consult the product documentation for specific Prizm™ lens benefits.

Cheek interference persists despite the slash lens shape.

Slight adjustments to the nosepads may help reposition the sunglasses. For persistent issues, the unique lens shape might not be optimal for your specific facial structure.
