Oakley Feedback Polarized Sunglasses
A Wire Frame Built for the Active Woman
The Oakley Feedback is the first wire frame sunglass purpose-built for the active woman. Oakley achieved this by pairing a lightweight C5 alloy wire front with warm acetate stems, a combination that had never been done before in the Oakley lineup. The result is a classic aviator silhouette that wears with the refined look of metal and the all-day comfort of a precision-tuned performance frame.
C5 Alloy Frame Construction
The front frame is made from Oakley's C5 alloy, an ultra-lightweight material engineered to hold its shape under daily wear and active use. The double-bar bridge and teardrop lens shape are instantly recognizable as aviator, but the proportions and fit points are calibrated for a woman's facial geometry. Acetate temples add warmth and tactile comfort where the frame meets the ear, and Unobtainium earpads grip more firmly as perspiration increases, so the fit actually improves during activity rather than loosening.
Oakley Three-Point Fit
Oakley's Three-Point Fit holds the lens in precise optical alignment by making contact at only three points: the bridge and both temples. This eliminates the pressure points and lens distortion that come from frames that grip the face. No-snag nosepads keep the fit comfortable on the nose without creating a pressure ridge, and the Unobtainium earpads ensure the frame stays exactly where you put it from the first hour to the last.
Lens Technology
The Feedback is offered with Oakley's Prizm polarized lenses and with a gradient polarized option. Prizm lens technology is engineered to fine-tune color and contrast for specific environments, amplifying the details that matter most in bright outdoor and on-water conditions. The 6 base lens geometry curves with the face to maximize peripheral coverage and minimize the gap between the lens edge and the brow, reducing light intrusion from above.
All lens options carry Oakley's HDO (High Definition Optics), which meets or exceeds the optical clarity standards set by the American National Standards Institute. Polarized lenses cut reflected horizontal glare from water, pavement, and sand, a significant benefit in South Florida's year-round sun.
The Feedback is also compatible with Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses, making it a practical daily driver for anyone who requires vision correction.
Oakley Brand
Established in 1975 and headquartered in Southern California, Oakley holds more than 600 patents and is one of the most widely worn performance eyewear brands in the world. The Feedback sits within a broader lineup that world-class athletes depend on, but its wire construction and aviator geometry give it a versatility that moves from the water to an evening out without looking out of place.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Oakley Feedback sunglasses polarized?
- Yes. The Feedback is available with polarized lenses, including Oakley Prizm polarized options. Polarized lenses eliminate reflected horizontal glare from water, sand, and pavement, which is particularly useful in bright coastal conditions.
- Are the Oakley Feedback sunglasses for men or women?
- The Oakley Feedback is designed specifically for women. The C5 wire front, aviator shape, and Three-Point Fit geometry are all calibrated for a woman's facial proportions. That said, the classic aviator silhouette is unisex in style and can be worn by anyone who finds the fit works for them.
- What is Oakley's Three-Point Fit?
- Three-Point Fit is Oakley's frame retention system that contacts the face at exactly three points: the bridge and both temples. This holds the lens in precise optical alignment without clamping the head, eliminating pressure points and distortion caused by conventional grip-style frames.
- Can I get the Oakley Feedback with prescription lenses?
- Yes. The Feedback is compatible with Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses. Contact Island Water Sports or an authorized Oakley optician to order prescription-ready frames.
- What does Prizm lens technology do?
- Oakley Prizm lenses are engineered to fine-tune specific wavelengths of light, enhancing color and contrast for particular environments. For outdoor and on-water use, this means sharper detail in bright, high-glare conditions compared to a standard tinted or grey lens.
- What is the difference between Prizm polarized and gradient polarized lenses on the Feedback?
- Prizm polarized lenses use Oakley's proprietary spectral tuning to amplify specific colors and contrast while also blocking reflected glare. Gradient polarized lenses transition from a darker tint at the top to a lighter tint at the bottom, reducing overhead sun while keeping the lower field of view brighter. Both are polarized and block reflected horizontal glare; the choice comes down to whether you prefer tuned contrast or a natural gradient look.
- What does the Oakley Feedback come with?
- Each pair of Oakley Feedback Polarized Sunglasses includes a protective carrying case.
