The Oakley Contrail 4147 sunglasses bring a modern edge to the classic pilot silhouette. Released in 2021, this aviator-inspired frame features a distinctive double-bridge design and sharp, angular lines that set it apart from traditional teardrop aviators. Built from lightweight C-5 alloy—a proprietary fusion of five metallic compounds—the Contrail balances durability with all-day comfort. At 57mm lens width with a 14mm bridge and 144mm temples, it’s sized for medium to large faces and works particularly well on oval, square, and heart-shaped face shapes.
The Contrail’s real advantage lies in its Prizm lens options. Unlike standard tints that simply darken your view, Prizm technology selectively filters light wavelengths to enhance color and contrast in specific environments. Developed over 15 years using hyperspectral imaging—the same method satellites use to analyze light—Prizm lenses are tuned to boost the colors that matter most while muting visual noise. The result is sharper detail recognition, reduced eye fatigue, and better depth perception whether you’re driving, on the water, or navigating daily life.
Available in ten lens options including Prizm Black, Prizm Grey, Prizm Sapphire, and polarized variants like Prizm Black Polarized and Prizm Tungsten Polarized, each lens is purpose-built for different light conditions. All Prizm lenses are made from Oakley’s impact-resistant Plutonite material, which blocks 100% of UVA, UVB, UVC, and harmful blue light up to 400nm—protection that’s built into the lens material itself, not just a surface coating.
The C-5 alloy frame is engineered to absorb impact and spring back into shape, providing flexibility without sacrificing strength. Adjustable silicone nosepads let you dial in the fit, while molded earsocks grip securely without slipping during activity. The Contrail is fully prescription-ready, compatible with Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses that come laser-etched with the ellipse logo for proof of authenticity. Whether you need single vision, progressive, or polarized prescription lenses, this frame accommodates your vision needs.
