Technology in Detail
NanO-Matter™ Frame Material
The NanO-Matter™ frame is produced through a precision injection-moulding process that results in a material that is both extraordinarily light and highly resilient. Unlike conventional frame plastics, NanO-Matter™ retains its structural integrity and colour even under prolonged exposure to sunlight — it will not darken, warp, or become brittle over time. The material's inherent flexibility means it can absorb everyday knocks and flexes without cracking, making it ideal for active lifestyles. The result is a frame that feels almost weightless on the face while standing up to the demands of sport and outdoor adventure for years of reliable use.
TruBridge™ Unobtainium® Nosepad System
The TruBridge™ system uses Unobtainium® — a proprietary high-grip material — in the nosepad construction to deliver a fit that actively improves as conditions become more demanding. Unobtainium® has the unique property of becoming grippier when wet, meaning that perspiration or rain actually enhance retention rather than causing the frame to slip. The adjustable design allows personalised positioning for different nose bridges, ensuring both comfort and optical alignment are maintained throughout activity. Combined with Unobtainium® earsocks on the temples, the entire contact surface of the frame works together to keep the eyewear firmly in place at all times.
Prizm™ Lens Technology
Prizm™ is Oakley's advanced lens technology born from years of research into how the human eye and brain work together to perceive colour. By precisely fine-tuning specific wavelengths of light passing through the lens, Prizm™ amplifies the colours that matter most in a given environment, enabling sharper detail recognition and faster reactions. The spectral tuning is built directly into the molecular structure of the lens material itself — not applied as a surface coating — ensuring consistent, long-lasting performance that will not degrade. Prizm™ differs from conventional tinted lenses, which simply darken everything uniformly; instead, it acts more like a precision equaliser, selectively enhancing the colours that reveal the information you need most.
High Definition Optics® (HDO®) & Plutonite® Lens Base
Every Prizm™ lens is constructed from Plutonite® — Oakley's proprietary high-purity optical-grade polycarbonate. This material is impact-resistant, meeting and exceeding ANSI Z87.1 standards for high-velocity and high-mass impact resistance, while also providing 100% protection against UVA, UVB, and UVC radiation up to 400 nm. Oakley's High Definition Optics® (HDO®) system, combined with XYZ Optics®, corrects the distortion introduced by curved sport lenses by tapering the lens in the vertical, horizontal, and thickness planes simultaneously. The result is razor-sharp, distortion-free vision across the entire field of view — including the periphery — so you can trust every detail you see.
Prizm™ Jade — Optimised for Bright Light
The Prizm™ Jade lens fitted to this variant has a 14% light transmission rating, placing it firmly in the bright-light performance category. The base lens colour is grey, offering true-to-life colour rendering with enhanced contrast rather than an artificially warm or cool tone. This makes the Prizm Jade ideal for intensely sunny conditions — on the golf course, at the beach, cycling, or during any outdoor pursuit where harsh, direct sunlight is a factor. The jade mirror coating further reduces surface glare and adds a stylish, distinctive appearance that perfectly complements the Satin Black frame. Whether you are reading fast-moving objects or scanning a wide landscape, Prizm Jade gives you the edge in demanding light conditions.
Ergonomic Sport Design
The Futurity Sun's large rectangular shape is a deliberate nod to the Oakley Sutro, one of the brand's most celebrated sport silhouettes, reinterpreted with a fresh aesthetic. The wrap-influenced coverage zone maximises protection from peripheral light and wind, while the full-rim construction maintains structural rigidity around the lens. The design is classified as a universal fit, making it accessible to a wide range of wearers. The frame's geometry is also co-engineered with the Prizm lens to maintain precise optical alignment, so the lens curvature and field of view work in harmony rather than introducing visual artefacts at the edges of sight.
About Prizm™ — How It Works
Conventional sunglasses operate like a simple volume dial — they reduce all light uniformly, which darkens the scene but does nothing to improve the quality of what you see. Some lenses improve contrast, but they are designed for a wide range of environments and therefore represent a compromise for any specific sport or activity. Prizm™ works more like a precision audio equaliser: it selectively amplifies specific parts of the colour spectrum that are most important in a given environment while leaving other wavelengths largely unaffected. The technology was developed using hyperspectral imaging — a technique used in scientific and aerospace applications — which allowed Oakley to analyse real-world light environments with extraordinary precision and identify exactly which wavelengths needed to be tuned for each sport or activity. The outcome is a lens that provides not just more contrast, but the right contrast: colours appear as they truly are, detail recognition is dramatically improved, and moving objects in your peripheral field are easier to track. This translates directly into better performance and safer, more confident decision-making in the field.
Every environment places unique demands on the human visual system. In any given sport setting, there are objects and surfaces where colour differentiation is critical — whether that is reading the break on a green, tracking a fast-moving ball, or assessing terrain while cycling at speed. Prizm™ lenses address this by targeting the colour receptors in the eye that are most relevant to each environment, ensuring that the signals reaching your brain are as accurate and information-rich as possible. The benefit is compounding: sharper detail perception leads to earlier reactions, which leads to improved performance and enhanced safety.
Prizm™ Jade for Golf & Outdoor Bright-Light Performance
When playing golf well, you need to accurately read light transitions across the course, judge distances precisely, and distinguish the texture and grain of grass surfaces — especially on the green. The Prizm™ Jade lens makes colour separation easier and more intuitive, allowing you to distinguish subtle variations in turf quality and surface texture that would be easy to miss with conventional lenses. You will notice changes in surface condition that might otherwise be overlooked, contrast improvements that reveal differences in grass quality, and the separation of green shadows that helps you read light transitions across the fairway and green more accurately. Beyond golf, the 14% light transmission of the Prizm Jade lens makes it an outstanding performer for any bright-light outdoor activity where you need clarity and contrast without compromise.
