Description
Engineered for elite athletes and refined for the streets — Oakley’s Jawbreaker redefines shield eyewear with unmatched coverage and optical precision.
The Oakley Jawbreaker is the culmination of decades of performance eyewear innovation, born from Oakley’s relentless collaboration with world-class cyclists who demanded a wider field of view, enhanced ventilation, and uncompromising protection. Its signature single-lens shield construction sweeps across the face with a bold, aerodynamic geometry, while the Switchlock interchangeable lens system allows wearers to adapt to changing light conditions in seconds — a feature carried over from Oakley’s High Definition Optics (HDO) technology used in professional sports.
Every contour of the Jawbreaker’s O Matter frame has been sculpted to balance featherlight durability with all-day comfort. The Unobtainium earsocks and nosepad grip more firmly when exposed to perspiration, ensuring the frame stays locked in position whether you’re climbing a col or crossing a city intersection. The extended peripheral lens coverage not only delivers a commanding visual presence but also blocks wind, debris, and UV rays with the precision of Oakley’s Plutonite lens material.
Finished with the iconic Oakley ellipse logo subtly embedded at the temple, the Jawbreaker stands as a symbol of the brand’s “Born from Sport, Worn in Style” ethos — technical equipment that transcends its athletic origins to become a definitive accessory in contemporary eyewear culture.

O Matter is Oakley’s proprietary nylon-infused thermoplastic, engineered to remain lightweight while resisting stress and impact under extreme conditions. Plutonite lenses offer 100% UVA, UVB, UVC, and harmful blue light filtration, delivering optical clarity that meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for impact resistance.
Styling
Pair the Jawbreaker with a technical windbreaker, tapered performance trousers, and chunky minimalist sneakers for an athleisure-forward urban look. For a high-contrast streetwear edit, style them with a matte black bomber, oversized cargo pants, and a structured crossbody bag to let the shield silhouette command attention.
Brand Heritage
Founded in 1975 by Jim Jannard in his garage in Southern California, Oakley began with a single motorcycle grip handle and evolved into one of the world’s most influential performance eyewear and sportswear brands. Headquartered in Lake Forest, California, Oakley revolutionized optical technology with innovations like Prizm lens technology and Switchlock, while its eyewear has been worn by athletes across cycling, baseball, and motorsport at the highest levels of competition.
Care Instructions
- Clean lenses with the included Oakley Microclear bag or a soft microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the Plutonite surface
- Rinse with lukewarm water before wiping to remove dust and debris particles
- Avoid using household cleaners, solvents, or ammonia-based products on lenses or frame
- Store in the protective hard case when not in use to prevent impact damage
- Do not place lenses face-down on hard surfaces
- Keep Unobtainium earsocks and nosepads free of oils to maintain optimal grip performance
