Oakley Troy Lee Signature Series Gascan 08 - £129.99

At the corner of a grease-stained cement floor, somewhere beyond the choking mist of candy-apple red paint and the sticky shrapnel of masking tape cut with surgical precision, a teenage motocross racer was turning a helmet into a masterpiece. It wasn’t long before Oakley pros like Jeff Ward and Mark Barnett saw the kid’s work and had to have it on their race gear. Today, Troy Lee Designs is recognized worldwide as the premier custom paint shop for racing helmets. We put Troy with a few of our visionaries and let them fire up brain cells like spark plugs to create this special edition of GASCAN.

Only 5000 frames will carry the Troy Lee print, a salute to his Phobia design of spiders with red TLD logos. You’ll find his company name laser-etched at the edge of the lens, and each frame comes with a matching MICROCLEAR bag for lens cleaning and eyewear storage. As with previous releases in the Artist Series, the first 100 frames have been reserved for online availability, and it won’t be long before these limited editions are snatched up.

With technology as aggressive as its styling, Oakley GASCAN offers the unbeatable performance and protection of HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS (HDO). One of its patented innovations is XYZ OPTICS, the secret behind lens contours that maximize peripheral vision. The lenses of GASCAN are cut from the curve of a single lens shield then mounted in the frame to maintain the original, continuous contour. Lightweight O MATTER frame material offers all-day comfort with a precise Three-Point Fit. Impact protection meets all ANSI Z87.1 standards, and as far as visual impact, the art of Troy Lee speaks for itself.
