Oakley Sphaera Slash Polarized Sunglasses - Matt Carbon Frame / Prizm Deep Water Polarized Lens

Oakley Sphaera™ Slash Sunglasses

Craftsmanship & Construction

The Sphaera™ Slash is built around Oakley's lightweight yet durable O Matter™ frame, designed for long-lasting comfort without adding unnecessary weight. An integrated front vent improves airflow during high-intensity activity, while the distinctive lens shape helps minimise cheek interference when moving.

Unobtainium® nosepads and moulded-in earsocks increase grip as moisture builds, helping the sunglasses remain securely positioned during demanding sports or when worn with hats and helmets.

Waterproof Performance

While not waterproof eyewear, the frame incorporates moisture-activated Unobtainium® contact points that maintain grip in wet conditions. The Prizm™ Deep Water Polarized lenses reduce glare from reflective water surfaces, making them particularly well suited to marine environments.
