Oakley Socket 5.5 Satin Lead (OX3218-08)

Socket 5.5 — When Performance and Metallic Minimalism Merge

There are frames that adapt to your daily life and others that propel you in every movement. The Socket 5.5 is the latter. Its semi-rimless design in ultra-lightweight C-5™ alloy projects a contemporary and clean dynamism, offering a perfect fit for those who seek the sobriety of metal without sacrificing optical performance.

The Oakley Socket 5.5 (OX3218) optical frame redefines the half-rim look with Oakley's unmistakable sports heritage. Its low-profile architecture provides a completely unobstructed lower peripheral field and an almost imperceptible feather-light weight. The elegant satin lead grey chassis evokes a clean, high-engineering technical texture. Equipped with flexible temples and adjustable nosepads, it sits on the face with absolute stability and minimalist elegance.

C-5™ Metal Alloy and Active Comfort

Behind its clean lines, Socket 5.5 conceals patented features of high durability and comfort:

• C-5™ Alloy: A patented blend of five metal compounds injected under high pressure. It delivers exceptional structural strength, impact resistance, and a very reduced weight.
• Semi-Rimless Design (Half Rim): By removing the lower rim of the frame, visual weight on the face is reduced and lower visibility is maximized, ideal for reading or working on screens.
• Unobtainium® Earsocks: Oakley's patented hydrophilic rubber on the temples grips progressively in humid or sweaty conditions, preventing slippage.
• Adjustable Silicon Nosepads: Allow you to customize the fit on the bridge of your nose, optimizing distribution and avoiding uncomfortable pressure marks.

The Art of Caring for Your Frame

A premium frame deserves wise care to extend its performance and original appearance:

• Daily Clean: Wash the frame with lukewarm water and mild soap. Dry it gently with the official microfiber cloth. Never use napkins or paper towels that can scratch the lens treatments.
• Thermal protection: Do not leave the glasses exposed to extreme heat (such as a car dashboard in the sun) to prevent deterioration of the Unobtainium® earsocks.
• Periodic adjustments: If you notice your glasses becoming misaligned or loose over time, visit us at our store. We will adjust the metal frame for you at no cost.

It's not just a pair of glasses. It's an agreement with yourself.

Technical Specs and Specifications (OX3218)

What is the C-5™ metal alloy and why does it stand out?

It is a patented blend of five metal compounds developed by Oakley. It delivers exceptional flexibility under daily mechanical stress and extraordinary resistance to fatigue and twisting, being far more durable than standard nickel-silver or common metals.

Is this semi-rimless frame suitable for my prescription?

Yes, it is excellent for the vast majority of prescriptions. At Centro Óptico Alpedrete we perform precise digital glazing and grooving to ensure the lenses are securely locked. For medium and high prescriptions, we recommend reduced-index lens materials for a thinner aesthetic finish.

Which size (52, 54, or 56) should I choose?

Size 52 is ideal for narrow or slim faces. Size 54 is the standard and most common size. Size 56 is recommended for wider faces or wider interpupillary distances. You can compare the measurements of your current glasses to select.
