They are the essential gear for anyone serious about their sport, providing a distinct competitive edge and enhanced safety.

Unleashing Unprecedented Clarity with Prizm TR22 Lens Technology

The heart of the Oakley Turbine Rotor's superior performance lies in its Prizm TR22 lens. Prizm™ is Oakley's patented lens technology that fine-tunes vision for specific sports and environments. It works by precisely manipulating the light spectrum, enhancing colors where the eye is most sensitive to detail and filtering out "noisy" colors that interfere with perception. For the Prizm TR22 specifically, the "TR" signifies "Target Recognition," and the "22" denotes its light transmission properties.

What makes Prizm TR22 revolutionary for shooters and hunters?

• Optimized for Medium Light: With a Light Transmission of 19%, the Prizm TR22 lens is perfectly calibrated for medium light conditions. This means it excels when the sun isn't blazingly bright but isn't completely absent either – think cloudy days, early morning or late afternoon hunts, or indoor ranges with moderate artificial lighting.
• Drastically Increased Contrast: One of the most critical advantages of Prizm TR22 is its ability to dramatically increase contrast. This is vital for distinguishing targets from their background. For a clay shooter, it means the orange target "pops" against a grey sky or green backdrop. For a hunter, it helps differentiate the subtle camouflage of an animal from dense foliage. The world simply appears sharper and more defined.
• Enhanced Detail Recognition: Beyond contrast, Prizm TR22 lenses sharpen the perception of fine details. This allows for quicker target acquisition and more accurate shot placement. You'll notice contours, textures, and subtle movements that might otherwise blend into the environment.
• Rose Base Lens Color: While the outward appearance of the lens might be subtle, its base color is Rose. This specific tint is not just for aesthetics; it plays a crucial role in filtering light wavelengths to achieve the contrast and detail enhancement unique to TR22. This rose tint is engineered to bring out reds and oranges, making targets like clay pigeons, safety cones, and even some game animals more visible.
• Reduced Eye Strain: By optimizing the light that reaches your eyes and reducing glare, Prizm TR22 lenses also help minimize eye fatigue over extended periods. This is invaluable during long shooting sessions or lengthy hunts, allowing you to maintain focus and comfort.

Imagine being on the range, a challenging set of clays launched against a backdrop of trees. With conventional lenses, those targets might blur or become difficult to track. With Prizm TR22, the vibrant orange of the clay is isolated and magnified, allowing your eye to lock on instantly and follow its trajectory with unparalleled clarity. This level of visual precision can transform your performance and significantly enhance your experience.

Engineered for Excellence: The Oakley Turbine Rotor Frame

The exceptional performance of the Prizm TR22 lenses is matched by the robust and innovative design of the Oakley Turbine Rotor frame (Product Code: OO9228-04). The Matte Black finish provides a sleek, low-profile look, but its true strength lies in the advanced materials and ergonomic design that ensure durability, comfort, and a secure fit.

• Lightweight O Matter™ Frame Material: Oakley's proprietary O Matter™ frame material is incredibly lightweight yet remarkably durable and stress-resistant. This means the Turbine Rotor eyewear can withstand the rigors of demanding outdoor activities without weighing you down or feeling cumbersome. Its flexibility allows for a comfortable fit that adapts to various head shapes, while its resilience ensures it can endure impacts and maintain its structural integrity over time. This makes them ideal for active use where ordinary frames might fail.
• Secure Unobtainium® Earsocks and Nosepads: One of Oakley's signature innovations, Unobtainium®, is a hydrophilic synthetic material that actually increases its grip when wet. This means as you perspire from exertion, the earsocks and nosepads on the Turbine Rotor will hold the glasses more securely in place, preventing slippage, even during rapid movements or intense activity. This feature is critical for maintaining optical alignment and ensuring your vision remains unobstructed, whether you're shouldering a rifle or pivoting quickly to track a target.
• Three-Point Fit System: Unlike conventional frames that can create pressure points on the ears or temples, Oakley's Three-Point Fit holds the lenses in precise optical alignment. This design touches only at the bridge of the nose and the sides of the head, distributing weight evenly and eliminating uncomfortable pressure points. The result is a secure and comfortable fit that remains stable even during high-impact activities, ensuring the Prizm TR22 lenses are always perfectly positioned for optimal vision.
• Standard Fit Design: The Turbine Rotor's standard fit ensures broad compatibility and comfort for a wide range of users. It strikes a balance between coverage and an unobtrusive feel, making it suitable for extended wear.

Together, the O Matter frame, Unobtainium components, and Three-Point Fit create an eyewear solution that isn't just about superior optics but also about unparalleled comfort and stability, allowing you to focus entirely on your task without distraction.

Protection You Can Trust: Beyond Visual Enhancement

While the primary benefit of the Oakley Turbine Rotor Prizm TR22 (Product Code: OO9228-04) is its advanced optical performance, Oakley eyewear is also renowned for its superior protection. When you're handling firearms or moving through challenging terrain, eye safety is paramount.

• Plutonite® Lens Material for Impact Protection: The lenses are constructed from Oakley's proprietary Plutonite® material, an optically pure polycarbonate that offers an incredible level of impact resistance. These lenses are tested under extreme conditions to meet or exceed the rigorous ANSI Z87.1 standards for high-mass and high-velocity impact. This means they are designed to withstand significant blunt force and projectile impacts, providing a critical layer of defense against unexpected debris, ricochets, or other hazards encountered in shooting or hunting environments.
• 100% UV Protection: Oakley Plutonite® lenses filter out 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC, and harmful blue light up to 400nm. Prolonged exposure to harmful UV radiation can lead to serious eye conditions. The comprehensive UV protection offered by the Turbine Rotor eyewear ensures your eyes are safeguarded against the sun's damaging rays, regardless of the light conditions. This makes them suitable for long days outdoors, protecting your long-term eye health.
• Optical Precision and Clarity: Beyond protection, the optical geometry of Oakley lenses virtually eliminates distortion. This high level of optical precision ensures that your vision is clear and true, without the common distortions found in lesser quality eyewear. This clarity is crucial for maintaining accuracy and spatial awareness.

Choosing the Oakley Turbine Rotor Prizm TR22 means investing in eyewear that not only enhances your vision but also provides robust protection against common threats to eye safety in demanding activities.
