OAKLEY KATO | The Future Of Cycling Or A Massive Meme?

SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/2gMWc1t

Another product review that really is less a product review and a discussion about a new bit of tech. I was fascinated by these sunnies the moment I pulled myself off the floor (having fallen over laughing at them), and just had to have a go of them myself. I must admit I don't think the camera does these justice, there really are quite impressive to look at, the moulded glass around the nose is something else.

Like always, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.


Product Notes:

The KATO by OAKLEY is a commercially oriented version of the Olympic model. Interchangeable nose pads out of non-slip UNOBTAINIUM let you adjust the distance between the lens and your eye, while the clever rake mechanism lets you adjust the tilt. This means that the KATO models can be individually adapted to any face shape. The 3-point fit and feather-light temples made of O-MATTER frame material ensure perfect wearing comfort.

FRAME:
• Disruptive design that fits close to the face
• Adjustable angle through rake mechanism to create the right fit on the cheek
• Durability and high comfort thanks to feathery light, robust O-MATTER frame material
• UNOBTAINIUM material nose pads in three different thicknesses and depths ensure a perfect fit and a non-slip grip
• Wide field of vision due to HIGH WRAP SHIELD and EXTENDED FIELD

LENSES:
• Revolutionary freeform glass design allows for extended glass enclosure and stability in key areas
• UV PROTECTION
• HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS technology for HD vision
• Contrast-enhancing PRIZM technology

Comes with 3 nose pads, a case and a microbag

The sunglasses are compliant with Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and the harmonised standard EN ISO 12312-1:2013/A1:2015.

O-MATTER:
The durable, lightweight and very comfortable O-MATTER frame material increases protection and provides a flexible fit.

UNOBTAINIUM:
A hydrophilic material used for nose pads and temple ends. The grip increases as the level of moisture (sweat) rises.

HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS:
OAKLEY has developed High Definition Optics (HDO). This term refers to a number of patented lens technologies developed in-house for special optical accuracy and fidelity. However, the HDO technology stands out not only for precision, but also for innovative impact resistance. HDO meets strict safety standards and ensures a 100% filtering of UV light. OAKLEY HDO protects the eyes and makes sure visual information will reach the brain with maximum precision.

PRIZM ROAD:
PRIZM is an OAKLEY lens technology that offers optimized visibility for specific kinds of sports and activities by fine-tuning individual wavelengths of colour. As it emphasizes colours where the eye is most sensitive to detail, PRIZM improves performance and safety. Thanks to the use of specially manufactured lens tints, the OAKLEY PRIZM technology is able to filter light that affects vision in a negative way and to emphasize colours required for perfect performance/vision. The PRIZM technology fine-tunes vision for specific sports and environments and thus sharpens visual acuity to reveal nuances that would be missed by the naked eye.
PRIZM ROAD lenses help endurance athletes to better see changes in road surfaces and obstacles like small rocks and potholes, so that they can react quickly and achieve peak performances. Besides, the lenses enhance contrasts for increased safety on public roads. The lenses offer optimized vision in bright light and in the shadows. White and yellow road markings are clearly visible and traffic signals brighter. Besides, the colours of sky and green are intensified for a pleasant ride.
Light transmission: approx. 20%
