Oakley Sphaera Slash Polarized Sunglasses - Matte Black Frame / Prizm Black Polarized Lens

Oakley Sphaera™ Slash Sunglasses

Craftsmanship & Construction

The lightweight O Matter™ frame is engineered for durability and all-day comfort without compromising performance. The distinctive slash lens shape is designed to minimise cheek interference during dynamic movement, while an integrated front vent promotes improved airflow during intense activity.

Unobtainium® nosepads and moulded-in earsocks increase grip as moisture builds, helping the sunglasses stay securely in place whether worn alone or with hats and helmets.

Although not waterproof eyewear, the Sphaera™ Slash is designed for reliable performance in challenging conditions. Moisture-activated Unobtainium® contact points improve grip when perspiring, while Prizm™ Black Polarized lenses minimise glare from reflective surfaces and provide 100% UV protection.
