Since its debut in 1994, Oakley's Jacket family of eyewear has followed its own set of rules. Born from a rejection of what sport performance eyewear "should be," it fundamentally overturned public perception with the creation of an unprecedented high-curve, dual-lens frame. Conceived for athletes who have always challenged the status quo, the Jacket style became more than just a symbol of performance.
In 2026, after more than 30 years, a new era begins. Inheriting the pioneering spirit from its founding, the Jacket family continues to evolve without losing its DNA, pushing the limits of performance. It now joins "Artifacts from the Future," part of Oakley's vision to deliver innovative products that look toward the future. These are art-infused creations, designed for the future and arriving now.
Reflecting the philosophy of eyewear that fits the face, the "Field Gear Line" apparel collection, designed in Japan, was created to fit the body. This innovative gear, designed to protect from harsh natural environments, features the same bold and uncompromising finish as the eyewear.
The new additions to the Jacket family draw inspiration from numerous frames that started it all, including the Eye Jacket (1994), Straight Jacket (1999), Racing Jacket (1998), Water Jacket (2000), and Flak Jacket (2007). The new collection elevates this inherited tradition into a design language, further pushing the boundaries of design through forms that enhance functionality and a fusion that transcends existing genres.
Plantaris SQ is a model that elevates the original Plantaris into a square form. Neoforma expresses dynamic roots and flowing, curvilinear shapes, breathing life into its spirit. Meanwhile, Terraforma makes a powerful impact with its universal silhouette and futuristic edge.
Furthermore, the Eye Jacket Redux, which reappeared in 2019, honors Oakley's heritage with a look redesigned from the original. The Suture Jacket, scheduled for release in May, takes that concept into even more challenging territory. Featuring spike details on the back of the temples, it is an evolved model that brings new design DNA to the Jacket family. Expanding the versatility of the Jacket series are Neoture and Neomata. These are prescription eyeglass frames created for individuals with a unique aesthetic, fusing a nostalgic soul with future-oriented design.
The Field Gear Line collection, originating in Japan and available globally, features items that correspond with the Jacket family. Plantaris SQ and Neomata are recommended to be paired with the jacket, tee, and pants from the iconic "Stealth" capsule collection. This "Stealth" series, which blends into the surrounding environment and combines "invisible" functionality with minimalist design and top-performing materials, carries out its mission in a way that, as its name suggests, is not immediately apparent.
In addition, the AP Vest, specially designed to protect and store gear in harsh environments, is a perfect match for the outdoor-oriented Eye Jacket Redux. A comfortable outfit can be completed by pairing Neoforma and Neoture with breathable wear like the Slick Crew and Factor Shorts, which are designed to mitigate body temperature increases even as ambient temperatures rise.
