The brand started out as a manufacturer of hand grips for motocross, but entered the eyewear industry, mainly sunglasses, when it began manufacturing and selling sports goggles. The brand became well-known after being used by top athletes in various sports, including Ichiro, a former professional baseball player. Recently, the brand has been attracting attention on the fashion scene as well, as evidenced by the release of a collaborative model with “Fragment,” a design project by the charismatic Hiroshi Fujiwara of Harajuku, Tokyo. This eyewear brand combines functionality for strenuous exercise with design that is easy to use in everyday life.

Shotgun-shot-proof! The Oakley Frogskin’s unbelievably rugged durability
The Frogskin, which has long been a classic for its balance of functionality and design, uses a unique patented frame called “O-Matter®”. Compared to the acetate material used in ordinary sunglasses, the O-Matter® frame weighs 25% less, yet is twice as durable. It is also durable against ultraviolet rays, heat and cold, and is useful not only in daily life and sports scenes, but also in outdoor scenes under severe conditions. It is also fully equipped with impact resistance that retains a high degree of flexibility for a good fit. Furthermore, the lenses are made of super sturdy lenses that are said to be unbreakable even when shot with a shotgun. By incorporating an easy-to-match lens shape based on the Wellington shape into the lens, it is a perfect item for daily use.

Two fits you should know before buying Frogskin
Frogskin is available in two fits: the “Standard Fit,” which is a US size, and the “Asian Fit,” which is designed to fit Japanese face shapes. The basic shape is almost the same, but the Asian Fit is characterized by a larger nose pad portion that takes into account the height of the Japanese nose. This specification reduces the stress of the eyewear slipping down when the wearer wears it. However, even though nose pads are tailored to the Japanese, nose height and face shape vary from person to person. It is recommended to try on as many pairs of eyewear as possible to find one that is comfortable to wear.
