Oakley Meta sunglasses allow you to:
-
Automatically record your outings and synchronize them with Strava or Garmin without taking out your smartphone: everything goes directly through the glasses.
-
Respond to voice commands: trigger photos and videos, view your statistics or activate a function while driving.
-
Film hands-free from your own perspective with a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera, perfect for capturing picturesque views of the Seine riverbanks or a fast descent into the Fontainebleau forest.
-
Receive notifications, listen to music or podcasts via open speakers integrated into the branches without covering the ambient noise essential for safety in Parisian traffic.
-
Operates in rain and wet conditions thanks to IP67 certification. A real asset for tackling sudden downpours and wet roads in Paris and the Île-de-France region during the mid-season.
Features of Oakley Meta sunglasses
The Oakley Meta model is designed for active use, both in the city and on the road. Its well-thought-out ergonomics guarantee comfort and reliable support, even at high speeds.
Prizm Road and Prizm Trail lenses
Oakley's innovative Prizm technologies optimize contrast and the perception of terrain details: manhole covers, cracks, cobblestones, wet areas—everything is visible sooner. A real advantage for routes around Versailles, in Boulogne-Billancourt, or in the Montmorency woods.
O-Matter frame
O-Matter, an Oakley exclusive polyamide, is lightweight, strong, and resistant to impacts and temperature variations. It retains its shape and integrity even under heavy use.
Unobtainium inserts
This technical rubber increases its grip on your skin as the effort intensifies. The glasses stay firmly in place, whether you're climbing the hills of Meudon or enjoying a road ride.
Frameless wraparound single-lens design
For an exceptional panoramic view — a real plus in urban traffic or in a peloton.
The photochromic version
Ideal for the changeable weather of the Île-de-France region: fog in the morning, sun at midday, clouds in the evening. The lenses automatically adapt to the light and ensure constant comfort throughout your outing.
Are the Oakley Meta shoes right for you?
Oakley Meta sunglasses are an excellent choice if you:
-
drive daily in Paris and its metropolitan area;
-
practice road cycling or gravel cycling;
-
Enjoy modern technologies and quality optics;
-
use Strava, Garmin or want to film your outings from your point of view.
On the other hand, if you mainly ride with a full-face helmet on enduro tracks or if you need interchangeable lenses for mountain bike races, it is better to choose a more specialized model.
Conclusion
The Oakley Meta represents a new generation of cycling glasses. For cyclists in Paris and the Île-de-France region, it is one of the most advanced and versatile options currently available: wide field of vision, good terrain perception, comfort, and integrated ride tracking.
Take the time to try them out with your helmet, choose the ones that suit you — and enjoy safer, smoother and simply more comfortable rides.
