Oakley KatoM Polished Black / Prizm 24K Iridium (OO9455M-02)

Oakley KatoM: the shield that never quite touches your face

The KatoM is the modified version of the Kato. The original had its lens glued at the sides; this one uses a mechanical mount: the lens is anchored and can be removed, so it takes official replacements. That is what turns it into sunglasses for years rather than for a season.

At Centro Óptico Alpedrete we have spent more than 20 years fitting and adjusting Oakley in a physical shop, with our own workshop. This is a frame you try on and have adjusted by hand: we send it out fitted, not just sold.

Design: frameless, only what you need

There is no frame: lens, nose pads and temples. The lens sits as close to your face as possible without touching it, with an extended wrap that widens your field of view and protects against side impacts.

The result is an ultralight pair of sunglasses with an aggressive profile that you recognise from a metre away, and that holds steady through a training session.

Prizm 24k lens: contrast for strong sun

The Prizm 24k treatment boosts contrast and lifts the golden tones. It lets through 11% of light (category 3), so it performs in daylight and strong sun: tarmac, dirt or track. You see the details of the terrain sooner, not later.

The lens is made of high-resistance polycarbonate and filters 100% of UVA and UVB radiation.

Mechanical mount: the lens can be changed

Because it is removable, the KatoM takes the official replacement lenses of the family, available in our shop: Prizm Black, Prizm Sapphire, Prizm Road, Prizm Road Black, Prizm Trail Torch and Prizm Low Light, plus the 24k it comes with.

We swap it in our workshop so the mount is not forced: see KatoM replacement lenses.

Fit: it adapts to you, not the other way round

It includes three Unobtainium nose pads of different thicknesses and depths so you can choose the one that fits you best, plus a mechanism in the temples that lets you tilt the lens. Designed for a high bridge.

Measurements: lens 149 mm wide and 64 mm high; temples 136 mm. Calibre 149.

Original case and cloth included

Original Oakley case made exclusively for this model: same shape as the Sport Soft Vault, semi-rigid and zipped, but with die-cut foam and the exact recess to hold the sunglasses (the Sport Soft Vault has no foam — it is hollow inside). Plus a free microfibre cloth so the lens is always clean.

Care

Clean it with the cloth and avoid resting it on hard surfaces: the lens is exposed, with no frame to protect it. Always store it in the case.

Never use paper tissues or alcohol-based products: they damage the lens treatments.
