The ski mask is suitable for all lovers of active winter sports, both for beginners and professionals.
Company founder Jim Jannard was an avid biker and often participated in motorcycle racing. In 1975, he began selling parts and grips for motorcycle handlebars out of the trunk of his car. Grips resisted the sweat generated by athletes' palms and became very popular in BMX and motocross.
Jim decided not to stop there and in 1980 created the first prototype of the Oakley 0/20 motocross mask, which would later be renamed the O-Frame. Its special feature is the use of a wide lens made of unbreakable Lexan plastic. At that time, this was an innovative solution that was used by literally a couple of companies specializing in motocross products.
What you probably don't know is that Oakley is named after the dog of company founder Jim Jannard. The dog's name comes from the English word "oak" - "oak". Therefore, the company’s first logos did not feature futuristic fonts or the laconic “O” icon that we are accustomed to. Instead, they depicted an ordinary acorn! True, he’s quite cool - in a motorcycle mask (O-Frame prototype? :)) and boots.
Previously, motorcycle racers rode on the track wearing glasses with separate glass lenses that could break and were difficult to clean from dirt. The Oakley O-Frame mask turned out to be a very successful model - it fit snugly to the face, gave excellent visibility for those times, cleaned well, and its lenses turned out to be very durable. The success of the model is eloquently evidenced by the fact that its production continues to this day.
Separately, it is worth noting the excellent ventilation of the Oakley O-Frame - the young company in the early 1980s was one of the first to use double lenses with ventilation holes on the top edge in motocross. The mask hardly fogged up, which made it a success among skiers.
Even today, Oakley maintains a strong connection to motorsports. Almost every version of the frame is developed in two versions - to meet the needs of both motorcycle racers and skiers and snowboarders. The motocross and MTB versions belong to the “MX” family, while the winter sports versions of the masks belong to the “Snow” family.
This is probably why in 1983 the Oakley O-Frame began to be available with lenses designed for winter sports. From this moment begins the history of Oakley ski optics.
Despite the success of O-Frame masks among fans of winter sports and the active development of the business for the production and sale of sunglasses, the range of Oakley “winter” optics until the mid-1990s. was limited to only four models - O-Frame, L-Frame. Pro-Frame and E-Frame. Moreover, they were not used latest developments companies that were already heavily used in their line of sports sunglasses.
This could not continue for long, and in 1996 the most recognizable Oakley ski mask was launched on the market - A-Frame. It was with her that many Russian and foreign users began to get acquainted with the brand. It was produced in huge quantities in a wide variety of frame and lens colors. And, naturally, it absorbed all the company’s advanced technical achievements.

Starting with the A-Frame ski mask, Oakley began to rapidly conquer the ski optics market by releasing new model masks every 3-4 years:
- 2002 - saw the light Oakley Wisdom, the world's first ski mask with a lens that focused on maximum vertical visibility;
2005 - cult favorites entered the market Oakley Crowbar;
2006 - the first mask aimed specifically at a female audience was presented Oakley Stockholm;
2008 - Oakley's budget line of ski masks was replenished with a very popular frame Ambush, which came to the “Snow” collection from the motocross line;
2009 - sales of the model began Oakley Splice.
With the exception of Wisdom, all models continue to be produced today without undergoing any significant changes. At the same time, they remain relevant and are in constant demand among winter sports enthusiasts. This is what thoughtful design means, which is sometimes ahead of its time.
A real boom in the creation of new models of Oakley winter optics has occurred in the last 5 years - the company has released 10 (!) new frames, many of which have already seriously pushed aside competitors.
The secret to the success of Oakley ski masks lies in a very thoughtful design, a number of unique technical features and close cooperation with leading athletes in their sports.
Oakley ski goggle lenses. Review
Unlike sunglasses, whose lenses are made exclusively from proprietary Plutonite polycarbonate, Oakley ski optics can be divided into two large families, depending on what material is used to make their lenses:
- Unbreakable Lexan plastic became the basis for the younger line of masks: the Oakley Ambush, O2, Twisted, Catapult, as well as O- and E-Frame models. This is not to say that the use of Lexan makes these masks inferior to others on the market. Its use has long been a standard for the rest of the ski optics industry - such reputable brands as Dragon, Anon, Electric, etc. make their lenses for top models of masks from it. Lexan is distinguished by very high strength and flexibility, reliably protecting the eyes from external mechanical influences. So even comparatively budget models Oakley ski masks “keep the brand” at a high level.
Oakley Plutonite signature polymer used in the senior line, which includes all other frame models, such as A-Frame, Canopy, Crowbar, Airbrake, etc. Oakley Plutonite allows you to obtain crystal clear, completely optically correct and at the same time durable and wear-resistant lenses.
All Oakley masks are marked "HDO" - "High Definition Optics"(“High Definition Optics”). This means that when designing and manufacturing lenses, a set of measures is used to achieve the maximum reduction in the level of optical distortion. It is very comfortable to look through them - the eyes do not experience strain, because... the lens does not “make noise” and gives a clear picture.
Like sunglasses, Oakley ski masks use lenses of variable thickness that become thinner from the optical center to the edges. This ensures that the entire curved surface is free of distortion and maintains optical correctness for peripheral vision. This is especially important for ski optics, because... It uses dual lenses that are visibly set back from the face by the frame to prevent fogging.
All Oakley lenses made from Plutonite are ANSI Z87.1 certified, which was developed specifically to evaluate the protective properties of optics used in industrial applications. They reliably protect the eyes from any penetrating impacts from various objects - be it the edge of a mountain ski or a sharp branch in the forest.
Lifehack from Cluttermussen! After the Oakley mask has served its purpose on the slope, it can be safely used when working on a machine or with a tool! Whatever one may say, ANSI Z87.1 is an industry standard.
Oakley masks tested to ANSI Z87.1 can be used in airsoft, however, their use as tactical goggles in real combat and police special operations conditions is not recommended. For these needs, it is better to choose masks produced by a separate division of the company - Oakley Standard Issue (Oakley S.I.), the range of which is aimed specifically at law enforcement agencies. Their glasses pass the more demanding penetrating impact test - MIL PRF 31013.
In the mountains, snow and ice greatly distort the view of the relief. Sometimes, for our eyes, the entire slope merges into one big white mess, and we do not see the elevation changes and do not “read” the microrelief. In such conditions, optics are required not only to protect our eyes from bright light and ultraviolet radiation, but also to qualitatively improve our visual perception.
Therefore, a very positive feature of Oakley ski masks is the wide choice of filters for them. You can choose one or more options to “tune” your optics to specific riding or climbing weather conditions, choosing the optimal color balance and visual contrast. The right lens will emphasize shadows, remove “noise” from reflected light and help you see the terrain in detail during descent or ascent.
Classic Oakley Contrast Lenses
The easiest way to get a clear picture on a snowy slope is to use a color contrast filter. To give color to their lenses, Oakley adds a coloring pigment at the stage of obtaining polymer granules. This allows you to make the future lens colored throughout its entire thickness. The filter is not coated with any kind of spraying or coating, and no colored film is glued into it. Thanks to this, chips and scratches do not change the contrast and darkening of the lenses. This also has a positive effect on the transparency and optical correctness of filters.
In addition to a large number of color contrast filters with varying degrees of transparency, Oakley uses several series of lenses in its masks, which have unique technical features.
Oakley Iridium lenses
Some Oakley lenses are coated with a layer of colored metal oxide as thin as 12 nm, which creates a bright, mirror-like surface... These are Iridium coatings, and you can easily spot them on Oakley masks on the slopes or in the store. They significantly dampen the glare of reflected light, making the lens more contrasty. In addition to this purely utilitarian function, Oakley Iridium coatings perform another one - masks with such filters look very cool!
Be careful. Although Iridium coatings are resistant to wear relative to their thickness, they are still not recommended for use by adherents of “forest freeride” - pine paws and branches can scratch their surface relatively quickly.
Oakley Prizm lenses
Newest generation lenses in the Oakley range, first introduced in 2014. For the research and development of this optical technology it took the company 15 years of painstaking work. Prizm lenses use a complex technical solutions, allowing you to achieve very high clarity, detail and contrast in certain lighting conditions in a certain area. This effect is achieved due to the fact that the filter weakens most of the color spectrum, focusing on blue and orange shades. This significantly increases the contrast of the snow cover and gives the rider the opportunity to very accurately “read” the microrelief of the slope, see obstacles and correctly build a line of descent.
Correctly selected for the expected weather conditions, Prizm filters perform at the same level as the best polarized lenses for ski masks and at a lower price. Ultimately, this also affects the safety of riding - with a sharp change in shadow and light, for example, when a rider leaves a couloir or a dense forest, he is not blinded by the change in lighting and his eyes do not have to readjust. This allows you to maintain concentration on the track and take into account all the details of the terrain.
History of development and principles of operation of Oakley Prizm lenses
All lenses in this series have their own specialization for certain sports. Oakley Prizm "winter" filters are available in five options, differing in color contrast and suitable for different weather conditions and lighting. The undeniable advantages of Prizm lenses also include their versatility. One filter can cover a fairly wide recommended range of lighting conditions and eliminate the need to change the lens/mask during frequent weather changes.
Antifog coatings on Oakley lenses
No matter how good the filter is, all its advantages can be negated if the mask fogs up a lot. And the more attention an optics manufacturer pays to the problem of combating condensation on the surface of the filter, the better. In addition to the fact that Oakley masks use double lenses, which have already become traditional for the entire ski mask industry, very resistant hydrophobic antifog coatings of two types are applied to their inner surface - F2 And F3:
- "Fog Free"- “no condensation”;
"Fog Free Forever"- “forever without condensation.”
They prevent moisture from condensing, and if this happens, they accelerate the process of its evaporation from the surface of the filter. The F3 version is more durable.
Oakley Ski Mask Frames
As in their sunglasses, in the frames of their ski masks, Oakley developers use proprietary O‑Matter nylon, which is durable, flexible and almost does not lose its elastic properties in the cold. In addition to it, Oakley winter optics use a flexible frost-resistant urethane frame on which two layers of foam of different densities are attached. Together, they provide ventilation to the mask and also absorb the resulting shock loads during falls and collisions of the rider, further protecting the face area around the eyes. Also, layers of foam ensure a tight and uniform fit of the mask.
Design of Oakley mask frames using the Crowbar model as an example. 1. Three layers of foam of different densities for a precise and soft fit. 2. Eyelets guide the strap when putting the mask on a massive helmet. 3. Silicone strips on the inside of the strap. 4. Soft fleece layer on the inside of the frame.
Oakley masks are very flexible, but at the same time they restore and maintain their original shape well, thanks to the use of rigid O-Matter nylon elements in the frames. Thanks to this, the pressure of the mask is evenly distributed along the entire contour of the frame, without pressing on certain areas of the face. Also, the certain rigidity of the frame of the mask greatly simplifies the life of the rider during the process of replacing lenses.
The inner surface of Oakley frames always has a matte texture in order to completely eliminate glare inside the mask.
Along the inner contour of Oakley ski frames, where they come into contact with the face, there is a layer of fleece that performs two functions at once. On the one hand, it does not irritate the skin, because... it is kept dry. On the other hand, by absorbing, distributing and evaporating moisture from its surface, fleece additionally prevents the condensation of water vapor on the inside of the lens.
Most Oakley winter and motocross mask frames feature special strap guides that allow the optic to remain snug and evenly pressed against the face when worn over the helmet. The strap itself is equipped with one or more strips of silicone that make it literally stick to the surface of the helmet. At the same time, they do not interfere at all with adjusting the strap length, passing freely through the adjustment buckles.
SwitchLock mechanism in Oakley Airbrake mask © altitude-blog.com
Oakley Airbrake, Airbrake XL and Airwave 1.5 masks are equipped with the SwitchLock system - a mechanism quick replacement lenses, which can safely be considered perhaps the most reliable on the market. A special lever that releases and locks the replaceable filter can be used even without removing gloves or mittens.
Oakley mask design
Of course, for many riders, a ski mask is not only a purely utilitarian piece of protective equipment, but also a stylish accessory that sets them apart from other skiers and snowboarders.
And Oakley cannot take away its special style. Many famous frames, such as Splice, A-Frame and Crowbar, can be easily recognized by their memorable shape, without regard to color or brand logo. Oakley frames come in a great variety of colors. They range from strict black and white colors to signature unique combinations. At the same time, when creating a ready-made “lens-frame” set, the company’s designers try to harmoniously coordinate their colors.
Speaking about the design of Oakley masks, one cannot fail to mention the “Signature Series” collection - certain frame colors are dedicated to leading athletes - skiers and snowboarders with whom the company cooperates or has ever collaborated.
Oakley ski masks. Our review
The reincarnation of Oakley's most popular and recognizable mask is the A-Frame, which was released in 2014. The company's most popular ski frame really needed an update because... its geometry remained unchanged for 18 years!
Oakley A-Frame 2.0
The new version of the A-Frame has a more streamlined shape and a thin frame profile, becoming less bulky in appearance and lighter in comparison with its predecessor. The lens in version 2.0 has become less susceptible to condensation due to the increase in ventilation holes. The developers positioned it closer to the rider’s face, which allowed for a noticeably increased view compared to the original frame from 1996.
Otherwise, the updated version 2.0 remains the “good old” A-Frame mask. The designers even retained its signature feature - eye-catching ventilation ports in the frame, which improve air circulation on the inner surface of the lens, reducing the risk of fogging.
Frame:
-
Great for medium to small volume faces/heads. It fits well not only on men, but also on women and teenagers.
Thin
Excellent ventilation.
A wide (40 mm) strap with silicone strips securely fixes the mask on the head, both with and without a helmet.
Wide choice of colors.
Lenses:
- Made from polymer Plutonite
Wide selection of interchangeable lenses - Iridium, Prizm
F3.
The first ski mask in Oakley's range to feature a Switchlock quick-change lens mechanism. Thanks to it, to replace the filter you do not need to bend the lens and frame, trying to get into the mounts. You don't even have to take off your gloves or mittens. Simply open the locking lever, change the filter and lock it back. This procedure can be done literally standing on the slope or sitting on a lift, which makes it much easier to “tune” your optics for skiing in rapidly changing weather conditions.
"Classic" lens set in Oakley Airbrake - Fire Iridium and Persimmon © altitude-blog.com
All Airbrake versions come with two optically correct Plutonite lenses - one designed for low light, the other for bright sun. In fact, this provides the functionality of two masks at once.
Oakley Airbrake also combines wide visibility with excellent ventilation. A nice bonus is that for storing and transporting a mask and a replacement lens, the Airbrake model is equipped with a soft, voluminous zippered case.

Double lenses with antifog coating F3.
ANSI Z87.1 Certificate - complete security eyes when playing any sport.
Oakley Flight Deck/Flight Deck XM Ski Mask
Oakley's first mask with the so-called "rimless" design. The thickness of the frame is kept to a minimum, its frame does not protrude onto the surface of the filter, and the lens has a maximally enlarged area to increase peripheral visibility in all directions. Part of the fastening system is transferred to the lens itself. The increased field of view makes the descent safer, allowing you to quickly monitor obstacles along the way and the ability to avoid them. And the frame, which does not protrude above the lens, allows snow and drops of water not to linger on its surface. Even if you fall face first into the snow, the mask and lens can be cleaned very easily.
Interesting fact from Clattermusen! When designing the Flight Deck, Oakley designers were inspired by the shape of the visors on the helmets of military pilots. Hence the name of the mask - “Flight Deck”, can be translated as “flight deck” or “cockpit”
Today, the Flight Deck offers the widest field of view in Oakley's ski goggle lineup. Since 2015, the company’s product range has included a version of Flight Deck XM, which has reduced dimensions.
Frame:
- Made from flexible, impact-resistant and frost-resistant O-Matter nylon.
Great for medium to large volume faces/heads.
The Flight Deck XM version is suitable for small or medium sized faces/heads (designed for girls and teenagers).
The frame has a streamlined profile and is compatible with most helmets.
A wide 50 mm strap with silicone strips securely fixes the mask on the head, both with and without a helmet.
The frame allows you to wear corrective glasses under the mask.
Lenses:
- Made from polymer Plutonite, which protects against the entire spectrum of UV radiation.
High optical correctness of Oakley HDO™ lenses.
Wide selection of interchangeable lenses - Iridium, Prizm and branded color contrast filters.
Double lenses with antifog coating F3.

Most recently, in March of this year, we presented to your attention ski goggles Oakley Airwave, which captivated users with their functionality and incredible capabilities. And today it’s time to introduce you to an updated and improved version of this technological miracle.
So what's changed?
For the new season the company Oakley, improving the series key functions glasses, introduced new version for those who want to gain technological advantages on the mountain slopes.
The new Airwave 1.5 is equipped with a small built-in display that will allow you to track your speed, jump height, vertical movement, temperature, route and even be aware of the actions of other glasses users Airwave who share their achievements with you using a smartphone.
Airwave adds over 200 ski maps to pinpoint your exact location
Use of embedded display technologies Recon's MOD Live provides you with an image that is equivalent to a 14-inch screen that is located one and a half meters away from you - to the side. Thanks to this, you have the opportunity to see at any moment what is happening and changing around you - the same altitude, route, temperature, etc.
While it's still a far cry from sci-fi movies where you see your entire field of view covered in a grid of information, the Oakley Airwave still provides a reasonably crisp and clear image without interfering with the physical image - what you see in front of you without having to to technological devices.
Another new product that improves glasses Oakley- this is the remote control remote control, which can be attached to the arm. The convenience of the remote control is that it can be used without taking off your ski gloves. The remote is designed without a display, so it needs to be durable enough to withstand a few bumps and drops that may occur when you land from a bad jump or miss a turn.
According to Oakley developers, the stated increase in time battery life means that Airwave 1.5 will work on a single charge for six hours.
Those users who are more concerned with their lenses than their technological aspects will be happy to hear that the Airwave 1.5 features Switchlock technology, so you can change lenses whenever you need it. The color palette includes orange taupe, black, red, yellow and pink.
