Oakley's new Fall line will protect your peepers even in the harshest of light
Oakley has launched its latest goggles - the Fall line - a fusion of a rimless goggle and a cylindrical lens shape that provides an unrivalled peripheral view. The Fall line also comes equipped with Prizm – a lens technology that dramatically enhances detail to improve performance and provides ultra-precise colour tuning.
Because snow environments are dominated by white and lack any particular colour Oakley have created a lens that helps riders see details earlier, faster and deeper, resulting in an enhanced experience. From bright sun to snow/overcast, there are 6 different lenses, from Prizm black iridium for bright sun to Prizm HI pink iridium for snow and low light conditions. The Fall line is priced at £180.
