Oakley is known for high-tech in an unmistakable design. The new Kato glasses are intended to build on this. The mask-like design is a real eye-catcher.

Sports eyewear and military equipment have been the speciality of US eyewear manufacturer Oakley for almost 45 years. But the colourful glasses have also been celebrated for their unmistakable style since the 80s. The new Oakley Kato is designed to combine state-of-the-art technology with epic style. This is ensured by the frameless lens, which even fits snugly around the nose. The integrated bridge not only provides the Robocop look, but is also designed to create a Mask-like feel to the eyes. This is also intended to increase the field of vision and improve wearer comfort. The Kato is available with Oakleys Prizm discwhich has already proven itself in ski and bike goggles. This improves contrast perception.

The temples are made from a high-strength yet lightweight nylon composite material and are adjustable at a joint, allowing them to mould perfectly to any head shape. The rubberised insides of the temples ensure slip resistance and comfort. Three nose pads in different sizes are supplied. This allows the Kato to be adapted to a wide variety of nose shapes. For 270 Euro the stylish sports glasses from the cult brand from California are available.
