The original DERINGER™ was a guy who invented pistols, so we figure the name hits the mark for a frame that’s trigger happy with tech like TWIN SHOCK™. It’s a hinge innovation that allows for hyper-flexing, and this ultra lightweight titanium frame combines it with UNOBTAINIUM® earsocks for a comfortable fit. The nose pads of DERINGER are adjustable, and stem art adds caliber to style.
We always keep originality in the crosshairs, so the stems of DERINGER get the Oakley treatment with true metal icons and dimensional refinement. The UNOBTAINIUM earsocks are specially formulated to increase grip with sweat. With TWIN SHOCK hinges, you won’t have the constant inward pressure of regular flex hinges. Instead, the twin tines of durable and lightweight titanium allow the stems to flex beyond their normal open position. DERINGER is available in two sizes so you can lock and load with the right fit. A collection specific case is included for storage.
Oakley is renowned for optical technology, our company’s innovations in frame architecture have always been the gold standard for precision, performance, durability and design. The latest Oakley breakthrough is a hinge mechanism that comes in two forms: MONO SHOCK and TWIN SHOCK, developed for Rx eyewear and sunglasses. Inspired by pro racing, the structures are similar to leaf springs used for shock absorption. MONO SHOCK has a single “tine” (a slender projecting part, like the tines of a fork) that bridges the frame and the ear stem. TWIN SHOCK utilizes two.
Here are the key benefits:
Durability. The peerless architecture is sturdier than conventional hinges because no springs are used. Instead, the mechanism is a solid component that takes advantage of a durable yet lightweight alloy of titanium, a premium metal that resists corrosion.
Flexibility. Oakley formulated the alloy to be flexible. When you push an ordinary frame stem even a subtle distance beyond its normal open position, you risk breaking the hinge. With Oakley’s new design, the stem simply springs back to where it should be.
Comfort and fit. There is no inward pressure when the frame stems are in their normal open position. Subtle flexibility of the entire frame accommodates a wide range of head sizes.
Distinctiveness. This is a recognizable design feature, unique in its architecture and distinguishing in its simple beauty.
