Lens

Like all Oakley goggles, the Flight Trackers use Oakley’s exclusive Prizm lenses. They work to filter specific wavelengths of light, emphasising colours to which your eyes are more sensitive and blocking those that distract you, which in turn maximises visibility and clarity. Being able to differentiate between different types and textures of terrain is invaluable, especially if you’re all about making the most of any and all conditions. Dips and contours, icy patches and powder stashes, you’ll be able to distinguish between them and detect previously unseen details in the landscape.

Mother Nature can be a wily mistress, and it’s not uncommon for the weather to change drastically in the blink of an eye. Whether the storm’s rolling in, or the sun finally punches through the clouds, Prizm lenses offer great performance across a variety of lighting conditions. They’ll quite literally change the way you look at the mountains.

While it borrows many features from the Canopy, one area that the Flight Tracker differs is in its use of toric lenses. Still relatively new on the scene, toric lenses are an amalgamation of spherical and cylindrical styles, offering a best of both worlds approach.

Curved horizontally and vertically, but with a slightly flatter angle along the Y (vertical) axis. This is the most optically correct option on the market currently and is strategically designed to reduce glare points and avoid distortion. The shape gives extra volume inside that works with the venting on the top and bottom of the frame to allow air to flow through the goggles to alleviate steam and fog building up on the lens.
