Prizm Road is Oakley’s optical treatment that enhances the contrasts specific to road cycling. The yellow/amber Prizm Road tint improves visibility of road details (potholes, stones, road markings) in low-light conditions. Prizm Road Black is a high-protection sunglass tint (VLT 9%) for very sunny days. These treatments are available on the Sutro Lite, Radar EV Path and Jawbreaker models.

Yes, the Jawbreaker is the signature model of Oakley’s cycling range, designed specifically for road cycling. Its large wrap-around lens offers maximum coverage and extended peripheral vision. The design allows the helmet strap to pass through the frame, making it easier to put on a helmet whilst wearing the glasses. It is available with Prizm Road or Prizm Road Black lenses, in a range of frame colours.

Yes, Oakley designs its cycling glasses (Jawbreaker, Radar EV, Sutro Lite) to be compatible with helmets, particularly with its own ARO helmets. The slim frame arms of the Jawbreaker fit into the vents of most helmets (Kask, Giro, Lazer). The Three-Point Fit technology ensures the glasses stay in place on the nose during exercise, without feeling tight. The Unobtanium coating on the nose and ear tips increases grip when you sweat.

Yes: the lenses on the Jawbreaker, Radar EV and Sutro Lite are interchangeable without tools. The Oakley replacement system (Quick-switch on the Radar EV, proprietary system on the Jawbreaker) allows you to change lenses in 30 seconds. Kits containing 2–3 lenses are available (Prizm Road + clear + smoke) to suit different light conditions. Oakley sells replacement lenses separately on its website and through authorised retailers.

Yes, Oakley offers a range of road and mountain bike helmets under the ARO range. The ARO 5 and ARO 7 are the road models, available with or without MIPS. They are designed to be worn with Oakley sunglasses (with a slot for the arms in the vents). The ARO 5 features MIPS Air technology and is used by several WorldTour teams.

Yes, the Sutro Lite (~28 g) is one of the lightest frames in the Oakley cycling range. Its minimalist design with a single semi-rimless lens offers optimal ventilation and an unobstructed field of vision. The Sutro Lite Sweep version is even lighter and more aerodynamic for competitive cyclists. A secure fit is ensured despite the lightweight design thanks to the Unobtanium grip.

Prizm Road (amber/yellow tint) for cloudy conditions, in the morning or late afternoon; Prizm Road Black for very sunny days. Prizm Road enhances contrasts on the road surface, which is very useful for spotting cracks or loose gravel at high speeds. Prizm Road Black (VLT 9%) offers high UV protection, essential at high altitudes or in prolonged full sunlight. For a single versatile lens, Prizm Road Jade (VLT 22%) is an excellent compromise for slightly overcast to sunny conditions.

Yes, the Oakley range offers optical correction solutions via Rx inserts (clip-ons) or custom-cut lenses. The Oakley Prescription programme allows prescription lenses to be fitted to Oakley’s flagship cycling frames. Rx inserts are fitted inside the sunglass lens, allowing you to retain UV protection whilst correcting your vision. This option is available at authorised Oakley retailers and partner opticians.

Yes: Oakley’s Plutonite lenses block 100% of UV rays and are impact-resistant to ANSI Z87.1 standards. The O-Matter frame (a lightweight, durable polymer) does not break easily in a fall. In the event of a violent impact, Plutonite lenses are designed to resist puncturing. However, a pair of glasses that has suffered a significant impact should be inspected and possibly replaced.
