FAQs
What makes the TruBridge Sport Unobtainium® nosepads unique?
TruBridge Sport Unobtainium® nosepads are engineered to increase grip when exposed to moisture, such as sweat, preventing the eyewear from slipping during intense physical activity.
Can I get these glasses with my prescription?
Yes, the Oakley Bat Flip is designed to accommodate Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses. It is recommended to have these fitted by an authorized dealer or Oakley directly.
How do I adjust the Ace-Fit temples?
Ace-Fit temples are adjustable by gently bending them to conform to the shape behind your ears, ensuring a secure and comfortable custom fit. Make small adjustments to avoid over-bending.
What is the O Matter™ frame material?
O Matter™ is a proprietary frame material from Oakley known for its lightweight, durable, and stress-resistant properties, offering all-day comfort and performance.
Is the twisted stem design purely aesthetic?
The twisted stem design is both aesthetic and functional. It is inspired by a baseball bat's follow-through motion and contributes to the secure feel and distinctive look of the frame.
What is the intended use for the Oakley Bat Flip?
The Oakley Bat Flip is designed with sport performance features, making it ideal for active adults participating in sports and physical activities. However, its adjustable fit and unique style can also appeal to those seeking stylish everyday eyewear.
Troubleshooting
Glasses feel loose or slip down the nose.
Adjust the TruSomething Sport Unobtainium® nosepads for a more secure fit. Ensure the Ace-Fit temples are properly bent to contour behind your ears. If slippage persists, consult an optician for professional adjustment.
Temples are uncomfortable or cause pressure.
Gently re-adjust the Ace-Fit temples. They should curve smoothly behind your ears without excessive tightness. Avoid forcing adjustments; make small, incremental changes.
Lenses are constantly smudged or dirty.
Clean the lenses regularly with a microfiber cloth and a lens cleaning solution. Ensure the frame is also clean, as dirt can accumulate around the lens edges.
Frame feels stiff during adjustment.
O Matter™ is designed to be durable. If significant force is required, stop and ensure you are making the adjustment in the correct place (e.g., the temple arms for Ace-Fit adjustment). If unsure, seek professional help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
