Description
Champs-Élysées or County Line Sprint Ready
Built at the crossroads of aesthetic disruption and boundary-pushing performance, the Oakley Velo Kato resists the conventional with a lens design enabled by PhysioMorphic™ Geometry for a close fit to the face. The large lens shape, Unobtainium® ligature nosepad, no-slip Unobtainium® earsocks and flow conditioner tabs on the frame create a sleek, aerodynamic no-hinge system that maximizes protection, airflow and field of view to keep you locked in at all times.
The pinnacle of endurance, captured in a frame. Inspired by the Tour de France toughest climbs, this collection celebrates resilience and the relentless pursuit of glory.
For the complete ride, Velo Kato™ integrates seamlessly with the Oakley Aero helmet. To experience enhanced color and contrast everywhere you go, Prizm™ Lens Technology provides the details.
Features:
- DISRUPTIVE DESIGN: Advancements in optical design and a design methodology called PhysioMorphic™ Geometry have enabled a progressive, disruptive design and intended to fit the lens as close to the face as possible, providing optimized coverage, wider field of view, frame retention and impact protection.
- REVOLUTIONARY LENS DESIGN: Advancements in optical design have allowed the lens to be designed with an extended wrap and rigidity in key areas that mimic the structural properties of a frame.
- NOSEPADS: Comes with two Unobtainium® nosepads of different thicknesses and depths to create different offsets to give you the fit you need and no slip grip.
- HINGES: The no-hinge system maximizes protection, airflow and field of view to keep you locked in at all times.

Reviews
I got these as I nned extra sun protection. IF there's an aero advantage I doubt I make use of it.
The Good: The lens clarity and field of vision is the best I've ever had. Oakley's Prizm lens is excellent in sun but still lets in light and contrast when you transition under overpasses.
The Not So Good: Nowhere in the product description (that I saw) mentioned the arms are fixed. You can't fold them. The case is huge. My set may have been a return: the large nose piece was installed and the smaller one was just floating in the box.There was no user manual, and the warranty info was impossible to read, even with a magnifying glass.
Also, apparently other versions of this have a pivots on the inside of the arms that lets you tweak the angle and fit. These don't.
Also, it's a one and done product, as the lens and frame elemnts are integrated.
