Features

Any purchase of the Oakley Radar EV Path sunglasses comes with a protective hard case thrown in for good measure – meaning you can keep them extra safe when they’re not in use.

As well as your choice of Prizm lenses, these glasses are also available with Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses. It’s not much good protecting your eyes from the sun if you can’t see where you’re going in the first place, so this’ll be a much appreciated option for many. 

“The lenses improve your view of the route ahead, and help you to pick out obstacles you might ordinarily have missed.”

We’ll be touching on the Prizm lenses properly shortly but it’s worth pointing out that Polarized and Iridium lens options are available here. Also, shout out to the Oakley performance shield lens technology with HDO. What is that exactly? Well, the HDO stands for High Definition Optics. It means the lenses optimise safety and performance, and have the beans about them to meet the uncompromising demands of professional athletes. Clear, sharp and accurate vision is the order of the day here, with Oakley essentially serving up enhanced clarity for the wearer.

Prizm Lens Technology

Oakley’s Prizm Lens Technology is, in a nutshell, all about elevating contrast and colour so that the wearer can see more clearly and in greater detail. The lenses improve your view of the route ahead, and help you to pick out obstacles you might ordinarily have missed. There’s a range of them because each one has been designed with certain sets of outdoor colours in mind.

Depending on the environment you’re primarily spending your time in, you’ll want your lenses to let in a different amount of light. This is what Prizm Lens offer. The Prizm Snow Sapphire lens, for example, has a light transmission score of 13%. This is because the above-the-clouds-sun, and reflection off the snow, will be incredibly bright already. The mountain biking focused Prizm Trail Torch lens, on the other hand, has a light transmission of 35%. This is because, when on the back of your mountain bike, you’ll so often be riding trails situated under shady trees.

Conclusion

The Oakley Radar EV Path has an RRP of £161. The Julbo Aerospeed, meanwhile, is comparatively cheaper – priced around the £100 mark for the non ‘Reactiv’ versions. Both products are excellent in their own right, it’s just that with the Oakley product you’re paying a little bit extra for the vision-enhancing technology and unrivalled comfort.
