High quality lenses, materials that can take abuse, and a retro style that works!
As usual, with Oakley, the materials are nice and the lenses are without distortion. The lenses are a bit larger than most typical styles, but that means the coverage is great - which is perfect for sand volleyball and other beach sports. There nose pads are molded in, so comfort could be less for some, but they seem comfortable for me! Catch them onsale, and these are an incredible value.
High Quality
These Oakley sunglasses are high quality, which you would expect given the name.
They're a good size on the face, more geared toward men's fit than women's but they can work as women's sunglasses as well. They're more flat than curved to the face.
They're light and don't get uncomfortable.
The polarization of the lenses works well.
LOVE them
I know that these say they are Men's sunglasses but I am a woman and absolutely LOVE them. They look great, fit my face well, hold up to being tossed in my purse (displaying phenomenal durability) and my vision through them isn't distorted by color or glare. I have absolutely zero complaints about these. In fact, the only reason I would never buy these is the cost. Sunglasses are one of those things that get lost easily and often and as great as these are, they are not worth the cost. I know that Oakley is a status thing and that is great, but status isn't for me, I just want something that reduced glare and looks good on my face, everything else is a bonus.
Comfortable fit with great lenses
I have a bigger head and a higher nose bridge, so fit is usually the hardest part for me with sunglasses. These sit really well and feel properly sized instead of pinching or sliding down. The lenses drop a bit lower which helps with coverage, especially when driving. I have worn them for a few longer outings and they stay comfortable without pressure points.
The lenses are the standout here. Clarity is excellent and there is no weird distortion when looking at car screens or windows, which is something I notice right away with cheaper pairs. The tint cuts glare nicely and feels easy on the eyes over time. The translucent blue frame looks better in person than I expected and works casually with jeans or outdoor clothes.
Build quality feels solid and durable with a stiff frame that does not feel flimsy. The bridge is minimal so these work best if you have a more prominent nose. If that matches your face shape, these are a great everyday pair that feel worth the price for the lens quality alone.
More Fun In The Sun
Given that I have used Oakley products throughout my life, I am well-acquainted with their quality; therefore, I won't dwell on that aspect, and this pair of sunglasses, available at the 160 price point, is no exception.
These shades are light, cozy, and offer perfect vision in the sun. They ensure sharp vision, making time spent more fun outdoors. They feel really well-made, so you get the impression they'll last, even without any scratch tests.
Although they're pricier than simpler choices, their superior clarity and comfort justify the expense.
This pair is tough to fault, though they are a bit larger than I anticipated, which is typical for Oakleys.
Great Sunglasses that Look Good on the Hubby
These sunglasses look amazing on my husband with their severely high-quality of material, they fit my husband with ease and frame his face perfectly. I like that they are polarized for my husband's vision, and they are so pretty and high-end made from stellar and grand material making it a grand value for their purchase price.
Love the size and the blue
I have an XL sized head and a big nose, so I need big framed sunglasses and these looked like the ticket. I haven't had great luck buying sunglasses on Amazon, but I have learned to look at the size of the frame and the width of the nose area. Some glasses have the lenses up high (like wayfarers) and others drop the lenses more. I need the ones that drop the lenses a little more because the bridge of my nose is high. I also need a big lens. These work great.
I also like the blue color. They go really well with jeans and I wear jeans a lot of the time I wear sunglasses. I also have a blue bathing suit, so that will work well too. I have never owned blue sunglasses before but I immediately like them. I like to buy higher end sunglasses because the lenses are of higher quality. This is important because poor quality lenses seem to interact poorly to the windows and screens of my car giving me weird distortion. These sunglasses do not. It is worth the money to spend a little more so you can see comfortably.
