The latch mechanism is useful well beyond its original inspiration. One thing we have never done is link it with a shield and a lens shape that is clearly Oakley. The lens is inspired by the original Oakley® frame: Eyeshade, which is undisputedly Oakley. The 5B cylindrical lens is flat enough to allow the latch to function properly, while opening up multiple use cases for the product. Side shields are included to block additional glare, whether you are on the water, in the snow, or in any environment with lots of sun. And extending the use case of the latch mech, the clip effectively holds the side shields in place.
