Oakley Split Shot Woodgrain Polarized Sunglasses
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for the Water, Designed to Last All Day
The Oakley Split Shot Woodgrain is engineered for watermen who demand real optical performance in full sun on the open water. The lightweight O Matter frame carries the visual grain and warmth of natural wood without the weight or fragility, making it a frame you forget you're wearing over long sessions on the boat, dock, or beach. The high-wrap square silhouette is shaped to block peripheral glare and stay stable under a hat brim, a detail that matters when you're moving fast or squinting into the wind.
Prizm Deep Water Polarized Lenses
Prizm Deep Water is Oakley's lens tuning optimized for open-ocean and offshore conditions. Rather than simply darkening the view, Prizm technology selectively filters specific wavelengths to make colors on and below the water surface more distinct. Contrast between the sky, the chop, and underwater structure comes through sharper and richer. The HDPolarized layer is a single-piece construction that minimizes glare from the water's surface more completely than multi-layer polarized films, so reflected light is cut without washing out the view.
Plutonite Lens Material and UV Protection
The lenses are molded from Plutonite, Oakley's proprietary optical-grade material. Plutonite filters 100% of UVA and UVB radiation up to 400nm and blocks a portion of harmful blue light. It achieves this intrinsically, meaning UV protection is built into the material itself rather than applied as a coating that can wear off. Iridium lens coating adds glare reduction and tunes light transmission to the specific environment. The optical quality meets or exceeds ANSI Z80.3 standards for both optical clarity and impact resistance.
HDO Optics and Three-Point Fit
Oakley's High Definition Optics (HDO) technology ensures that the lens prescription is accurate across the entire lens surface, including the peripheral zones where cheaper lenses introduce distortion at high wrap angles. The Three-Point Fit system contacts the face only at the two temples and the nosepad, holding lenses in precise optical alignment regardless of head movement. The Unobtanium nosepad grips more firmly as perspiration increases, so the frame does not slide down when conditions get wet or hot. The frame geometry suits medium to large face shapes.
Hat-Compatible High-Wrap Frame with Detachable Leash
The Split Shot's high-wrap profile is low enough at the top of the frame to clear a hat brim cleanly, a detail sailors, paddlers, and surf fishermen notice immediately. A detachable leash keeps the frame secured when you're in and out of the water or moving on deck. The earstems and nosepad work with the leash attachment point so the transition between wearing the glasses and clipping them off is clean, not an afterthought.
What's Included
Each pair ships with a water-resistant eyewear case fitted with an attachment clip so you can secure the case to a gear bag, pack, or PFD.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Oakley Split Shot Woodgrain sunglasses polarized?
- Yes. They use Oakley's HDPolarized technology, which is a single-piece comprehensive polarized lens construction that cuts reflected glare from water surfaces more completely than standard multi-layer polarized films.
- What is Prizm Deep Water and how does it differ from standard tints?
- Prizm Deep Water is a lens tuning engineered specifically for offshore and open-ocean conditions. Instead of uniformly darkening the view, it selectively filters wavelengths so that contrast between the water surface, sky, and subsurface features is sharper and richer. It makes the visual experience on the water more precise and less fatiguing than a flat grey or brown tint.
- Are the Oakley Split Shot sunglasses good for boating and sailing?
- They are purpose-built for on-water use. The Prizm Deep Water polarized lenses are tuned for open-ocean light conditions, the high-wrap frame blocks peripheral glare from reflected water, the hat-compatible profile clears a brim cleanly, and the detachable leash keeps the glasses secured when you are moving on deck or in the water.
- Do Oakley lenses scratch easily?
- Oakley's Plutonite lens material is formulated for impact resistance and optical durability, but like all optical lenses it can scratch if placed face-down on abrasive surfaces or cleaned with rough materials. The included water-resistant case protects the lenses when not in use.
- Does Oakley make the Split Shot in a prescription version?
- Oakley does offer Rx options for some frames through their prescription program, but the Split Shot Woodgrain sold here is the non-prescription performance model. Contact Island Water Sports or visit Oakley directly for prescription availability on this specific frame.
- What does the Oakley Split Shot review say about fit?
- The Three-Point Fit system is designed to hold the lenses in precise optical alignment by contacting the face only at the temples and nosepad rather than clamping the entire frame. The Unobtanium nosepad increases grip as perspiration builds, and the frame geometry is suited to medium to large face shapes. Fit is stable during active use on the water.
- What is included with the Oakley Split Shot Woodgrain?
- The sunglasses ship with a detachable leash and a water-resistant eyewear case fitted with an attachment clip so you can secure the case to a bag or PFD.
