25/07/2005
Oakley, Inc., a manufacturer of premium sunglasses and apparel, and wireless communications company Motorola, Inc., have announced the expected availability of Razrwire bluetooth eyewear in early August. Razrwire is the world's first eyewear to combine patented Oakley optics with bluetooth wireless technology.

Bruce Hawver, vice president of companion products, Motorola's mobile device business, said: "Motorola and Oakley are bringing innovative wearable technology to life. With this one-of-a-kind Bluetooth-enabled mobile eyewear, active consumers can stay connected while moving from one environment to the next.”

For durability and all-day comfort, the Razrwire frame is made of Oakley's proprietary O-Luminum, an alloy 40% lighter than pure titanium. Custom engineered spring hinges provide a secure, adaptable fit, and soft Unobtainium components increase grip with perspiration for virtually any activity your involved in. The Plutonite lenses, which filter out 100% of UV and harmful blue light, feature Oakley's patented XYZ Optics, an innovation that maximizes clarity at all angles of vision throughout all surfaces of the wrapped lens contours.
