2  | OAKLEY AIRWAVE 1.5 / RECON OWNER’S MANUAL

Welcome

The original Oakley Airwave

 took technology to new 

heights, and now Airwave 1.5 takes it to the summit of 
possibility. 

Airwave 1.5 goggles combine world-class performance, 
protection and comfort with a heads-up display that 
integrates GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

®

 and more with a host of 

onboard sensors to give you instant access to a world of 
information. The latest edition offers a broader range of 
connectivity, new integration with social media, enhanced 
display graphics and improved battery life.

You can find your location with preloaded maps available 
for hundreds of resorts worldwide, and even track others 
in your group. Measure your performance with sensor 
information that includes altitude, speed and vertical 
descent data, and view jump analytics that show distance, 
height and airtime. 

We added onboard Wi-Fi to Airwave 1.5 so it can connect 
wirelessly to compatible devices. Bluetooth connectivity 
allows pairing with a compatible smartphone for immediate 
viewing of incoming calls and text messages, and if your 
Bluetooth-enabled smartphone has music, your playlists can 
be accessed and controlled.

Bluetooth is even better with Airwave 1.5. To accommodate 
the full bandwidth of more advanced iPhone

®

 models, we 

added an integrated MFi chip. It improves the wireless 
connection by offering enhanced pairing, faster and more 
reliable data transfer, and easier transfer of web information 
from your iPhone to the Airwave display. 

Are you a Facebook fan? With Airwave 1.5, you can see 
Facebook messages in real time while you are on the 
hill, and respond to them quickly via configurable, preset 
messages on the Airwave display. Other types of messaging 
are part of the handy consolidated view, including iMessage 
and SMS via your iPhone. Airwave 1.5 also lets you post 
graphics and messages to Facebook. Now when you beat 
your personal best, it will be known beyond the mountain. 
You can even receive real-time feedback when a friend 
“likes” your post.

The first time you use Airwave will be an eye-opening 
experience that will leave you in awe, and Prizm

 makes 

it possible. When you are active on the mountain, you 
will have clear and open vision without obstruction or 
distraction. When it is time to stop and review your 
performance or get vital information, you simply move your 
eye toward the miniature prism lens. 

With the innovative Prizm

, the displayed information 

appears as though you are looking at a 14-inch display from 
a distance of five feet. And thanks to the horsepower of a 
new processor, things look even better on the new edition 
of Airwave. It has the same rich resolution, but graphics 
appear sharper and smoother, and video streaming is fast 
and fluid.

Oakley Switchlock

 Technology makes the lens changing 

process quick and hassle-free, allowing you to take 
advantage of our wide array of optional lens tints that 
optimize vision for environmental conditions. For maximized 
performance, F3 anti-fog technology is paired with a dual-
vented lens, a premium design engineered with semi-flush 
geometry for wide peripheral vision. Oakley Plutonite

®

 lens 

material filters out 100% of all UV light, and optional lenses 
with Iridium

®

 coatings balance light transmission.

The durable chassis is made of lightweight O Matter

 that 

stays comfortably flexible, and O-Flow Arch technology 
reduces nasal pressure to improve airflow for free breathing. 
With fixed O Matter

 outriggers for the interchangeable 

strap design, you get a balanced fit – with or without a 
helmet – while a moisture-wicking triple layer of fleece 
foam at the facial contact zone provides all-day comfort.

Oakley Airwave 1.5 offers the ultimate in performance, 
convenience and capability. This is technology that adds 
fun to your alpine experience instead of getting in the way. 
Make the most of every moment on the mountain with 
Airwave 1.5, a world-class invention that delivers the goods 
straight to your brain.
