Oakley Feedback Sunglasses
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
A Wire Frame Built for Active Women
The Oakley Feedback Sunglasses are the first wire frame sunglass Oakley designed specifically for the active woman. The foundation is a C5 alloy front, an ultra-lightweight proprietary metal that delivers the clean, open look of a classic aviator without the bulk. Warm acetate stems complete the silhouette, adding a refined material contrast that sets the Feedback apart from standard wire frames.
Oakley Technology Inside Every Pair
C5 Alloy Construction
C5 alloy is Oakley's high-purity metal formulation. It is lightweight, corrosion resistant, and strong enough to hold precise geometry through extended daily wear and active use. The wire front stays true to its shape without adding weight to the face.
HDO Lenses with 6 Base Geometry
Every lens is built to Oakley's High Definition Optics standard. HDO delivers optical clarity that meets or exceeds ANSI Z87.1 standards for impact resistance while eliminating the distortion common in non-prescription curved lenses. The 6 base curvature wraps the eye for broad peripheral coverage without visual warp at the edges.
Prizm Lens Technology
Select variants carry Prizm lenses, Oakley's tuned-wavelength technology that fine-tunes contrast and color rendering to make specific details stand out in everyday and outdoor environments. Prizm lenses are not simply tinted glass; each is engineered to enhance particular light wavelengths so the wearer sees more detail with less visual fatigue.
Polarized and Gradient Options
The Feedback lens lineup spans polarized, Iridium, and gradient constructions. Polarized lenses cut glare at the horizontal plane, which is particularly useful on water and wet pavement. Iridium is Oakley's anti-reflective coating technology that balances light transmission without darkening the scene. Gradient lenses shade from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom, reducing overhead glare while keeping ground-level vision clear.
Fit Engineered to Stay in Place
Three-Point Fit
Oakley's Three-Point Fit system holds the frame at exactly three contact points, eliminating the pressure that causes conventional frames to slip or pinch. The result is a fit that stays aligned to the optical axis whether you are walking, on the water, or driving.
Unobtainium Earpads
Unobtainium is Oakley's proprietary grip material. Its defining property is that grip increases with moisture, so the Feedback holds more securely when you sweat or get wet rather than less. The earpads sit at the end of the acetate stems and provide the tactile contact that keeps the frame from sliding.
No-Snag Nose Pads
The nose pads are designed with smooth edges that do not catch on hair or skin. They distribute nose-bridge pressure evenly, which reduces the fatigue that comes from wearing a wire frame for extended periods.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are Oakley Feedback sunglasses polarized?
- The Oakley Feedback is available with polarized lenses. Polarized construction eliminates horizontal glare, making these sunglasses well suited for water, driving, and bright-sky conditions. Not every variant includes polarization; the variant picker on this page shows which lens constructions are currently offered.
- What is Prizm lens technology in the Oakley Feedback?
- Prizm is Oakley's wavelength-tuning lens technology. It selectively filters light to enhance specific colors and contrast rather than simply darkening the view, which helps the wearer pick out detail in everyday and outdoor environments with less eye strain.
- Are Oakley Feedback sunglasses good for active use?
- Yes. The Feedback was designed specifically for the active woman. The Three-Point Fit holds the frame steady to the optical axis, Unobtainium earpads grip harder when wet, and the lightweight C5 alloy front minimizes weight during movement.
- Can I get replacement lenses for Oakley Feedback sunglasses?
- Yes. The Oakley Feedback is a current frame in Oakley's lineup, and replacement lenses are available through the Oakley accessory program. Island Water Sports can assist with sourcing replacement lenses and nose pad kits in store and online.
- What is Unobtainium and why does it matter on the Feedback?
- Unobtainium is Oakley's proprietary grip material used on the earpads of the Feedback. Its key property is that it gets grippier when it contacts moisture, so the frame stays more secure during active wear and water activities rather than sliding off.
- What does HDO mean on Oakley sunglasses?
- HDO stands for High Definition Optics. It is Oakley's optical standard that ensures lenses meet or exceed ANSI Z87.1 impact resistance requirements while eliminating peripheral distortion. All Feedback lenses are built to the HDO standard.
- What is the difference between Prizm Grey and Prizm Rose Gold lenses?
- Prizm Grey is tuned for true-to-life color rendering in everyday and general outdoor light, making it a versatile all-conditions choice. Prizm Rose Gold is tuned to enhance contrast by warming up the color rendering. Both are Prizm lenses built on HDO optics. The variant picker on this page shows which frames each lens is paired with.
