Built for people who like their everyday shades to handle a little adventure, the Oakley Paracord Sunglasses wrap a rounded lifestyle frame around a contrast-lifting lens. A low-bridge fit, grippy nosepads, and adjustable wire-core temples make it easy to lock in a comfortable, secure hold from the trailhead all the way to apres. It's a do-most-things pair that stays put when the day gets active.

Why we like it:

The wire-core temples are the standout. You can bend them to fine-tune how the frame sits, a truly useful trick that most lifestyle frames don't offer.

Features and Functions:

What sets the Paracord apart mechanically is its wire-core temple, which lets you bend the arms to shape a custom hold. Oakley's O-Matter frame keeps it light and resistant to deforming, while Unobtanium nosepads and slip-on earsocks turn tackier as they pick up moisture. Prizm Lens Technology sharpens color and contrast, and the lenses are impact-resistant Plutonite that filters the entire UV spectrum, UVA through UVC, to 400nm. This is the Narrow, low-bridge version of the frame in Oakley's XL size, and it's offered with Authentic Prescription Lenses through Oakley's prescription program.

Bottom Line:

Paracord is the most adventure-ready of Oakley's casual frames, a lifestyle shade happy to come along on a hike or a road trip thanks to its grip and adjustable arms; think of it as a comfortable all-rounder rather than a dedicated performance lens.
