Best Oakley Driving Sunglasses of 2022

Driving is one of, if not the most important, situations where the right pair of sunglasses can help keep you safe. With the right pair of Oakley driving sunglasses, you can stay glare-free while offering your eyes optimal sun protection.

What to Look for in Oakley Driving Sunglasses

We discuss everything you need to consider when buying driving sunglasses in our Driving Sunglasses Buyer's Guide. In this roundup we will quickly cover the proprietary technology Oakley uses which make for a better on-road experience.

Frame Technology

Lightweight, durable, grippy, and comfortable. Oakley driving sunglasses check all the boxes. O Matter frame material is incredibly resilient and lightweight to meet your everyday needs without weighing you down. Unobtainium grip nosepads and temple arms will keep the sunglasses glued to your face so readjusting them is never an issue. With wraparound fits for extra coverage to lifestyle designs for every occasion, Oakley driving sunglasses meet a wide variety of preferences.

Lens Technology

When it comes to lenses, Oakley has it dialed. PRIZM, Oakleys contrast enhancing lens technology, works by manipulating the light spectrum through boosting colors your eyes are more sensitive to and filtering out the dull colors. This leads to better separation of colors and maximum detail. We recommend PRIZM polarized lenses for driving because the polarized filter will cut glare bouncing off car bumpers and windshields, making it easier for you to focus on the road ahead. Dive deeper into the world's leading lens technology in our Oakley PRIZM Guide.
