Celebrate the Tour with these sweet shades. – By Jen See
To celebrate the 2017 Tour de France, Oakley has released a new line-up of special edition eyewear. The collection combines Oakley’s distinctive styling with technologically advanced materials. The goal is to provide the best possible performance for elite and everyday athletes alike.
Three new models comprise the collection: Evzero Path Prizm Road, Jawbreaker Prizm Road, and Radar EV Path Prizm Road. Each is etched with the Tour de France logo to celebrate the world’s biggest race. Yellow trim along the frames of both the Jawbreaker and the Radar commemorate the leader’s jersey at the Tour.
There’s also a new special edition of the Radar Pace, Oakley’s smart eyewear. The Radar Pace features a voice-activated coaching system that aims to change riders’ training habits with more feedback. The Radar Pace collects performance data such as heart rate, power output, speed, cadence, distance, and time. Analysis happens through a phone app, and the Radar Pace will pair with your existing sensors through ANT+ or Bluetooth connections. The colourway of the Tour de France Radar Pace’s iridium coated lens celebrates the regions of France.
Oakley’s Tour de France collection comes equipped with Prizm lens technology. Prizm works to fine-tine the colours you see and enhance the clarity of your vision. According to Oakley, Prizm brightens whites, while saturating yellow, green, and red more intensely. Oakley has designed Prizm lenses to fit the demands of specific sports and they aim to highlight the colors you most need to see on the bike, while filtering out visual noise.
The goal of Prizm’s unique lenses is to make it possible to see the road texture and hazards more clearly. This should make for a more confident – and fast – riding experience, especially on descents and on less-than-optimal road surfaces. Oakley also uses Prizm technology in their snow collection, among others.
A long time cycling sponsor, Oakley supports multiple teams competing in this year’s Tour de France. Watch for Dimension Data, Trek-Segafredo, Team Sky, BMC Racing Team, Tinkoff, and Giant-Alpecin, who will all be rocking Oakley designs.
