Losing your sunglasses just got harder: The Oakley Latch

Life’s one unstable little cookie, isn’t it? Time ticks, the earth foundation shakes, winds spiral and our favourite activities take place beneath the burning orb. Your bobbing head tends to send your best sunglasses flying off your face. Or, the body jives kick them off your tee and the eyewear you handed over a totally charming pocket of coins for are gone. We’ve all broken shades. And, lost ‘em. Some, more than others. It hurts every time. Your pals at Oakley know this. And how does one of the most enduring brands in eyewear answer this problem? The Oakley Latch. Developed with help from some of the world’s best skaters (including Curren Caples), the Latch fastens onto the neck of your tee and stays put during the most aggressive of activities. Go skate, boogie, whatever you want. However, we wouldn’t recommend rocking them while you surf. More here.
