With the Olympics coming up in only a few months, Oakley has designed a range of sports specific sunglasses which are designed to help competitors at the highest level.

Consistently a market leader in the production of sports sunglasses, Oakley are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to create an even better and more functional pair of sunglasses – and this is evident throughout their new Radar Lock designs.

One of the key design features of the new Radar Lock range is the lockable lens feature which has been introduced specifically to meet the needs of high level athletes. This lockable lens is incredibly easy to use and features a very simple process which allows the lenses to be clipped and unclipped from the nose piece as needed.

The lockable lens is not the only new feature throughout this range and although the designs are very similar to its predecessor there are a few extra features which are designed to make the sunglasses more practical and aesthetic. For cyclists, the slimmer arms are able to slide easily under cycling helmets and other retention systems. The nosepiece has also been designed to be far less visible, allowing the wearer to focus on the task at hand.

In addition to many of the new features, the Oakley Radar Lock keeps in line with many of the regular features that you would come to associate with the brand.

In particular, the Plutonite material that is used throughout the lens creation helps to block out the majority of blue light rays in addition to 100% of UVA, UVB and UVC rays, which can be incredibly damaging to your eyes.

For the budding sports enthusiast or the professional performer, having the right sunglasses for your needs is crucial, especially when you are competing at the highest level and the Oakley Radar Lock range can provide you with a great, fashionable and practical approach to your sunglasses needs.
