Oakley changed the world of sport sunglasses with the introduction of PRIZM. This cutting-edge lens technology allows you to better see the details in your environment and improve your performance no matter what activity you enjoy. In the case of trail enthusiasts, PRIZM Trail has been the go-to option since it is specifically designed for a trail environment.
PRIZM Trail allows you to spot rocks, roots, and dips ahead of time so you can react faster and have a safer riding experience. Following the success of PRIZM Trail, Oakley engineers created PRIZM Trail Torch. This new PRIZM Sport addition features a torch iridium coating to kick aesthetics up a notch. See how PRIZM Trail Torch stacks up against the tried and true PRIZM Road in the video below.
