Oakley's New Women's Specific Sunglasses Will Have Everyone Looking
Once again, our staff at Pointed Magazine is dedicated to bringing its readers the hottest products for the 2006. We have found another product, in the fashion and sunglasses category that is sure to have a few heads turning in the from the golf course to the beaches this summer with the new women's specific Dart sunglasses
Ever since Oakley started partnering with some of the most attractive women in extreme sports, their sunglasses have taken a turn that is sure to leave some of their expensive competitors in the dust with their big lens and unique combination of frame and optic colors. Whether you want to have the hottest look on the beach or out for an afternoon on your bike, the-Dart sunglasses are some of the best Oakley has released to date and they are sure to leave a lot of women talking for months to come.
As we have done with all of our consumer products, we put the Dart sunglasses to the test to see if they were worth their $150 price tag and what we saw in the testing made some of our female staff reviewers fighting to see who would be the first to wear them this spring.
The best feature of the Women's Oakley Dart is their extremely durable frames. Built for the female who, like the extreme athletes you could find them wearing them, demand a product that is built to last. Constructed of….both of our pairs of glasses withstood 3236 opening and closings before they even felt like they needed to be tightened. While we do not expect the average consumer to open and close their glasses 12 times a day, our tests prove that the frames are built to last.
As for the lens portion of the glasses, we simulated if a consumer were to drop the glasses 45 times in a 30 period what would the scratch factor be after picking them up from the pavement. We found one small scratch in the upper right hand corner of the glasses on the 43 attempt with no scratches on the outside or the inside of the frames.
For all-day comfort, the frame takes advantage of lightweight C-5™ alloy. Extended lens coverage helps protect eyes from the sun’s damaging light, and not a single ray of UV makes it through the optically pure PLUTONITE® lens material. The frame can also be customized with optional gradient lens shading.
Each frame in Oakley’s exclusive collection for women includes a fashion eyewear case.
Once again Oakley has designed a winner that is specifically for the female in mind. We must say the gold frames will make you turn your head for any girl. We highly recommend a neck rub with as many times as you will be turning to check these out.
The best feature of the glasses is their price. These could easily have been a $200 plus pair of sunglasses from any other competitor.
So if you are looking to make a statement this summer, pick up a pair of the Dart, or even more than one, in all the frame and lens colors.
