Oakley 3D Gascan Peepers Review: Pimp But Pricey

6:10AM September 20, 2011 | Mat Honan

3D movies are here to stay, for at least another year. So why are you still picking up crappy disposable specs every time you hit the multiplex? Oakley’s 3D Gascan shades promise better optics — and permanence. More »


Oakley’s 3D Glasses Arriving Just In Time For Tron: Legacy

12:20AM October 29, 2010 | Kyle VanHemert

Personally, I’m hoping all this 3D business will just go away if I ignore it long enough, but if you’re riding the wave, you might want a decent pair of 3D spectacles. Oakley’s new Tron-branded pair should be suitably futuristic. More »

Badass Oakley Roddler Stroller Gives Your Kid an Early Chip on His Shoulder

3:00AM November 21, 2008 | Adam Frucci

If you’re looking to start your kid off with both a tough-guy attitude as well as an air of entitlement, you can’t go wrong with the ludicrous Oakley Roddler stroller. While it’s a concept that’s apparently “inspired” by Oakley, it looks more inspired by a combo of overpriced strollers and military aircraft.

Oakley Split Thump MP3 Players Reviewed (Verdict: Actually Not Bad)

7:20AM February 26, 2008 | Jason Chen

Oakley’s Split Thump sunglasses aren’t exactly popular outside of the mullet-sporting bounty hunter demographic, but if you can get past the looks (tough to do), it’s actually a decent sunglass-MP3 player. Tech Digest says the drag and drop file loading from both Windows and Macs was incredibly easy, plus the volume is quite loud and drowns out the mean things people around you are saying. The noise insulation and the dark lenses ensure that you’ll never have to actually face the fact that you’re wearing MP3 sunglasses. [Tech Digest]

Oakley’s ‘O Lab’ Shoots Ball Bearings at, Drops Weights on Sunglasses

Oakley sunglasses are expensive. But apparently, they’re expensive for reasons other than the recognisable “O” logo that’s stuck on them. Nope, they’re resistant to shattering if something strikes them, unlike other sunglasses that’ll happily embed shards of themselves in your eyes when hit. They can also withstand 2 pound weights falling on them and handle lasers better than other glasses. They test all these things in the “O Lab.” The Nice folks at NotCot got to check out the O Lab, providing photos and video of the machines used to test expensive sunglasses. More »

7:30AM July 4, 2007 | Seamus Byrne

Oakley has just released a pair of radical-looking polarized sunglasses, made out of some miraculous substance the company has dubbed Nanowire. If you wade through the marketSpeak it’s actually a lightweight titanium alloy with “memory” that can stand up to some heavy bending and snap right back to where it was before. Every piece of technology that goes into these $300 sunglasses is creatively named—you simply must get a load of this. More »
