Oakley Meta Vanguard in Bristol
The Oakley Meta Vanguard is high-performance smart eyewear built to push limits in challenging outdoor light conditions. At Goldsmith & Harvey in Bristol, we help athletes and active wearers explore this AI-powered frame designed for sport, speed and changing conditions.
AI-Powered Performance Eyewear Built for Athletes
The Oakley Meta Vanguard is engineered for athletes who need their eyewear to keep up with their performance. As an AI-powered frame, it brings Meta AI directly into a wraparound sport silhouette designed for outdoor use, allowing wearers to stay focused on what they’re doing while interacting with their glasses hands-free.
New Meta AI sport commands have been designed specifically for golf and snow athletes, with the rollout planned for Spring 2026, and the frame also offers improved Garmin and Strava integrations to support training and tracking. Autocapture is now live globally for those using a compatible Garmin device, and Live AI is part of the experience too. If you’d like to see the Vanguard in person and discuss whether it suits your sport and lifestyle, please get in touch with our team.
Prizm Transitions Lenses for Adaptive Vision
A standout feature on the Oakley Meta Vanguard is the introduction of Prizm Transitions lenses, engineered to adapt to changing light conditions so athletes can stay focused on their performance. These dynamic lenses seamlessly adjust between an always-on tint and a fully activated state depending on outdoor light exposure, helping wearers catch every detail and react as fast as possible across the field, the track or the trail.
Prizm Transitions lenses also enhance colour and contrast while blocking 100% of UVA and UVB rays, and they filter blue-violet light, up to 49% indoors and up to 87% outdoors. Photochromic performance varies across colours and lens materials and is influenced by temperature and UV exposure, so our team can talk you through which lens best fits your activity.

Vanguard Frame and Lens Options
The Oakley Meta Vanguard assortment includes a range of frame and lens combinations to suit different sports, conditions and personal preferences. Frame colours include Black and White, paired with a wide selection of Prizm lens options such as Prizm Road, Prizm 24K, Prizm Black, Prizm Sapphire and Prizm Rose Gold. The H1 2026 update also introduces three new Vanguard SKUs and three new replacement lens colours, including the new Prizm Transitions Ember and Prizm Transitions Cobalt.
New colourways give athletes more options to choose the look that fits best with their sport and conditions, and every lens in the assortment is also available as a replacement accessory. If you’d like to compare options side by side, our team in Bristol is happy to help.
