Dodging 240 lb. linebackers while running a sub-4.4 40 demands the best in optical clarity. That’s why 11-time National Champion USC chooses Oakley football shields with HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) technology. From high school to the pros, Oakley is the football shield brand of choice.

Using HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) technology, Oakley football shields eliminate the distortion found in the industry’s first-generation polycarbonate visors. Oakley uses PLUTONITE®, a proprietary synthetic that sets a new standard for durability. Whether it’s helmet-to-helmet collision, eye gouging or wind blow debris, PLUTONITE® offers the highest level of protection. But it’s not just the material that makes Oakley shields better. It’s the geometry.

Oakley uses injection molding to shape PLUTONITE® with unique curvature. The contours are designed with CAD/CAM engineering to maintain clarity at all angles of vision, even at the sides, so peripheral view is optimized. PLUTONITE® inherently blocks 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm. That means even clear Oakley shields filter out all the bad rays.

AFR lens treatment comes standard with all Oakley football shields, which translates to anti-fog performance and improved scratch resistance. Optional lens tints allow the player to precisely tune light transmission for game conditions, offering yet another competitive advantage with Oakley technology.
