What was the name of Oakley's first product?

Oakley’s first product was Oakley Grip.

James Jannard founded Oakley in 1975, initially developing products for motocross and other action-sports environments rather than beginning as a conventional eyewear company. The Oakley Grip was a motorcycle handlebar grip made from a proprietary rubber compound that later became associated with the brand’s Unobtainium material.

The grip’s design emphasized traction and control, especially when a rider’s hands were wet or sweaty. That focus on functional performance became a recurring Oakley theme as the company expanded into goggles, sunglasses and other sporting equipment. Oakley’s early products helped establish its reputation for unusual materials and engineering-led design.

The answer is sometimes confused with Frogskins, Eyeshade and Blade, but those names belong to later eyewear products. Frogskins became a widely recognized lifestyle sunglass, while Eyeshade and Blade were subsequent performance-oriented designs; none was Oakley’s first product.
