Ohh I hear you, I have a set of red bull games frames of the straight jackets I think they are and I'd love a new set of lenses, they lasted close to 15 years on a single set of lenses!!!!
Hello! Both the Sylas & the Portal X fit a bit smaller than the Holston but the Portal X is closest in terms of frame width with an SFW of 136mm compared to that of the Holston with 138mm.
Definitely not! You should not put any liquids on a lens other than water or lens cleaner. It can damage the lens and distort the optics rendering them useless.
if you play golf and baseball but can only get one type of lenses, which would fit each sport better? i assume that the golf and field lenses are very similar but i'm not sure.
Hi there! Great question! PRIZM Field is a darker tint lens than PRIZM Golf. However, there is a PRIZM Dark Golf lens that is right in between the two, making it great for sunny or cloudy conditions! You can check out a full review of PRIZM Dark Golf here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-dark-golf-review/
Hmmm...I believe the nylon zip cases should work just fine for the Portal but you can always double check with one of our certified opticians via live chat or over the phone here: www.sportrx.com/contact
Hi there! That is hard to say at this point since they are so new. However, if they catch on and become more popular, I am thinking Oakley will start offering non-rx replacement lenses. If you ever need Rx lenses for either of those, SportRx has you covered!
Oooo good call!! We will get to work on that. And just so you know, all of these models(excluding the Sutro) are available with Oakley authentic prescription lenses!
I am glad you picked up on that, Adam. Those Flak 2.0 XLs are Matte Carbon. It is our exclusive colorway with Oakley!

True, but it's not the production cost that costs so much. It's mostly the research they put in. I'm not saying that I disagree with you, but I'm just giving some defence for Oakley. Still though, it doesn't justify the $200 price tag.
Quality has gone down over the years.. lens coatings peeling ☹️, unobtanium disintegrates quickly, plastic temple hinges break .. still buy them but all these problems plague the glasses too often. Spare parts are almost impossible to find and when you find them they cost like 75% of a completely new pair .. Not how they used to make them years ago.
Don’t forget they have to pay the workers to make the frame to transport the items and pay the people who create the ideas yess the materials them self are inexpensive but take account everything else
Hi there thanks for sharing this video. My husband is having trouble driving due to the sun glare, what’s your take on the sunglasses for blocking these strong sun rays.. I wanted to gift him on his birthday can you please lmk ASAP thank you
Oooo great question! We actually have a 'Best Oakley Driving Sunglasses' video dropping tomorrow. In that video you will see the Holbrook, Mainlink XL, Trubine, Portal X, and Frogskins. We would also recommend getting him PRIZM polarized because that will greatly reduce glare in the road environment. Here is a link to our Oakley driving sunglass blog where you can see all the frames: www.sportrx.com/blog/best-oakley-driving-sunglasses/ Thanks for reaching out!
Hi Michael! The Split Shot is only available in one size for now. Although it is a bit smaller, you can see more footage of Sunglass Rob (7 and 3/4 hat size) wearing it in our full review here: ua-cam.com/video/Z5e6hhr_xzA/v-deo.html
I keep seeing people saying oakleys suck now and they are made in china and cheap, and then I keep seeing people saying they still love oakley. What do you think? I'm lost.
I collecting Oakley’s since 1995 and mostly the pre luxottica ones, couse those was STILL made in USA 🇺🇸 and the real deals in my opinion..Only the a ‘X metal Squared” was cool after the Italian giant take over....The rest is Only designed” in the US..🤷
SportRx , Thanks 😊 the kind words and excuse for MY honest opinion..I Allways will stays a True Oakley Fan but last decade model frames a feel way too light and cheap..just for fun I buyed the the BADMAN Wich was slide of from my head non stop, couse of sweat 💦..and after I buyed last year the Redux EYE JACKET and that was feels like a play tool for kids..like a cheap plastic made for 8 years old kids stuff..so compare to the pre 2005 ones 🤦♂️🤔..Quality if far ..

Don’t waste your money on Oakley’s. They’re cheap material, WAY overpriced, and they aligned themselves with a company (Luxottica) that’s in the business of putting the little guy out of business, and part of a MAJOR monopoly scheme. If you want quality, buy from manufacture that actually has the customer’s best interest in mind, and they’re a lot cheaper in terms of price. In addition to that, they AND you support small business. Beyond that, don’t waste your money on a company that’s aligned itself with company that’s been part of shady business for the past 2-3 decades.
i like how they didnt like your Honest comment, oakley is not what it used to be and SportRX obviously major reseller of oakley almost oakley official store status so every video is marketing/ad
Hi there! It is true that we support Oakley as a major retailer and it is our ultimate goal to give people a review of the product so they can find the best sunglass for their specific needs. Thanks for checking out our video!
@@sportrxeyewear well as a major retailer, pushing the sort of feedback you get on here would be good! I've seen Oakley's quality & fit go down the toilet. After the current pair of five squared I highly doubt I'll buy another pair of Oakley's. The frames are now so plastic feeling, I wouldn't even call their sports models sport or durable, let alone comfortable. Their lenses seem to have gone so far down hill that they are on par with a service station pair. They have become a fashion statement rather than what I remember to be as a sports brand. I remember when Oakley stores used to packed to the rim, now you'd be more likely to hit a pair of glasses than a person if you went into one of their stores now.
Although the lenses are wide, it has quite a bit of wrap and is more of a medium fit. You can always check out a full review of the Split Shot here: ua-cam.com/video/Z5e6hhr_xzA/v-deo.html

How many of these are "Made in the USA", or should I say "USA Made"? I used to be a big Oakley supporter back in the day but refuse to pay a premium price for the lower quality product they make now. There are some aftermarket lenses available that have similar quality with more features, like a scratch-resistant coating and AR coating at a much better price point. Just saying.
Well mine say "usa assembled" so yeah I refuse to spend that type of money on sunglasses I do have a 90s pair of oakleys and damn those things are made to last
I'm very disappointed in what Luxottica is doing to Oakley. Made in USA means not made in China. USA MADE means nothing. The term USA MADE it's a lie So they are misleading buyers by juggling with letters. That pi....s me off. I respect the term and what stands behind Made in U.S.A.
the products were better when manufactured in 1 Icon, Foothill Ranch, CA, MADE IN U.S.A. Currently products manufactured in China,thailand, Italy, Brazil, etc. They are of very poor quality. It's like buying a fake. If you loved Oakley before Luxottica you'll hate it now.
What's your favorite Oakley of the year? Did we miss one? Let us know in the comments below!
Mercany! Great video also my favorite is the flak 2.0
Hey, ours too!
Straight jacket.
Is it bad I’m still stuck in the x metal era? Still trying to collect them all!
@@Luke-ln3qq nope not at all the xmetals are awesome i wish i could get a pair of x metals too pricey but truely great pair of shades
Still use my Pro M Frames from 2002. Wish theyd sell parts for that old model. Best sport shades EVER.
Ohh I hear you, I have a set of red bull games frames of the straight jackets I think they are and I'd love a new set of lenses, they lasted close to 15 years on a single set of lenses!!!!
Those were amazing! Thank you for sharing and we're jealous you still have pair!
The Holbrook XL are my favorite. I also have a pair of Holbrook Metal and Double Edge. I enjoy wearing all of them
Hi John! Thanks for checking out our video and sharing your favorite Oakleys with us!
I Just bought my first oakley sunglass today and i totally love it
Always love hearing another person has fallen in love with their new Oakleys😍
Thanks for your amazing review got myself a Portal X and its wow
Awesome to hear! Thanks for checking out our video!
when are customs gonna go on sale again? not paying $263 for a pair
I like the split shots because they aren’t ugly like a lot of fishing sunglasses!
True that!
haven't seen any video about the lugplate... you could bring them !
Hello Pedro! Good point-It was tough to narrow it down to only 7 models.
@@sportrxeyewear I couldn't find good videos about them in english. take it as a suggestion ♥️
@@casadioo will do. Thanks!
Really appreciate the video, thought I might try the Sylas, but they look odd, gonna stick with the Holbrooks 👍
You can't go wrong with a classic!
I have a pair of Holston frames. Fits my face perfectly. Is Sylas or Portal X similar in dimensions?
Hello! Both the Sylas & the Portal X fit a bit smaller than the Holston but the Portal X is closest in terms of frame width with an SFW of 136mm compared to that of the Holston with 138mm.

Hello, can you please suggest any Oakley model for night driving ? Or in any other brand ?
One thing I know for sure is the SportRx crew is here for you...O Matter what!
STEPHANIE! Reliable jokester on board! (because you said crew, so, like, 'on board!' well, you get it)
Great video thanks for helping me decide 😊
We happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

I'm looking for sunglasses which is best Oakley sunglasses for hiking and the same time lifestyle.
Hi there! The Portal X is a great option! www.sportrx.com/oakley-portal-x.html
Thank you for all the information, I would suggest not to use a black shirt cause it's not optimal to observe the shape of the sunglasses.
You're welcome! We'll try and incorporate more Tshirt colors in the future 😉👕
Im buying a pair of manoburns with brown or amber lens that im gonna us for day and night driving
Can you put liquid armor on the lenses to prevent scratches
Definitely not! You should not put any liquids on a lens other than water or lens cleaner. It can damage the lens and distort the optics rendering them useless.

Great video!! How do you get one of the SportsRx hats?
You can get them at SportRx! We have a showroom in San Diego so if you're ever in the area, come visit and we'll gladly hook you up with one!
Bro so unsure, but I need some mtb sunglasses thinking the flack 2.0 with torch prizm. 🤔
Ooooh! I love where your head is at! That frame and lens combo would be killer for MTB.

Hi there! I am sorry to say we do not sell sunglasses with any built in cooling systems.

Hello Sportrx, is the mainlink xl comes with extra nose pads(asian fit)?
It does not, unfortunately.
Will the Portal or Portal X get replacement lenses at some point couldn't find them on the website

That would be so awesome! It's definitely a one-of-a-kind design
These frames cost around $6 US to manufacture. Oakley is screwing consumers. Any polycarbonate lens provides full UV protection, even $20 sunwear.
True, but it's not the production cost that costs so much. It's mostly the research they put in. I'm not saying that I disagree with you, but I'm just giving some defence for Oakley. Still though, it doesn't justify the $200 price tag.
I just buy them when they're 50% off
its plastic and made in china .... smh
