® broke fashion rules.
® is our idea of a repeat offender. Instead of separate lenses, it has a single contour of pure
® lens material. The sculptural frame takes advantage of C-5™, a lightweight alloy of five metal compounds. If you’ve never experienced the comfort of our straight-stem designs, you need to ditch ordinary shades that hook your ears and fit with unbalanced pressure points.
Here’s the deal with a frame this innovative. Normally, when a single lens shield goes across both your eyes, you end up with optical distortion at the sides. Not so with
PROBATION because it utilizes
POLARIC ELLIPSOID™ geometry, an innovation of
HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) that maintains clarity all the way to the peripheral edges.
PROBATION meets all
ANSI Z80.3 standards for optical performance and precision, as well as Z80.3 basic impact standards. As far as UV protection goes, our proprietary lens material filters out 100% of all UV, not just
UVA or
UVB.
Check out the options for PROBATION, including IRIDIUM® lens coatings that reduce glare and balance light transmission to maximize your vision. For environments where glare is a serious problem, consider Oakley HDPolarized lenses. They block 99% of reflected glare without the haze or optical distortion common with ordinary polarized lenses. Multiple frame/lens color combinations are available for PROBATION.
