Good vid. My fuel cell are much more comfortable for my big head and the lighting is perfect
Just ordered my first pair of Fuel Cells, Hopefully will be a good fit ( medium to large head ). Got them with Black Iridium Polarised lenses, Going for the Men In Black look....
Update: Received them today and the fit is perfect, Absolutely stoked! First pair of glasses i've owned that don't squeeze my temples.
@Deputy Danger Nice I like that they block out the side sun. It's really a pain driving truck when the sun shines through the sides
Yeah Rob! I've been waitin' for a new vid from SportRX!
My gascans have survived my 1yr old throwing them across the room. Oakley is life!
Os 2 são foda, hoje em dia tenho um gascan mais já tive 2 fuel cell, o fuel cell é mais bonito e seu encaixe é mais perfeito
It exists a Gascan with a 61 size?
Or they all 60?
Saw one with the us flag on a site and they say 61 size...maybe an error etom the site?
Love my gascan
An Oakley classic! Thanks for watching.
Andrew says the fuel cell is 135mm which translates to a medium large which is smaller than the gascan
Thanks guys!
Wow... excellent video for sizing. Thankyou.
Thank you for commenting and the feedback! Were always striving to provide as much information as we can to help our customers pick the best sunglasses.
What kind of lens is on the Gascans? They looked yellow at first, then reddish.
Hey Biblical! Thanks for reaching out to us. The lenses you see on the Oakley Gascan in the video is the Ruby Iridium lenses. I have attached a link so you can check them out on the website.

Thanks for explaining the difference
So the Radar Xs didn't fit me. Lol Oakley was nice enough to do a return/ Refund for me. But I can't figure out what I want. I have 2 batwolfa and 2 turbine Rotors. I kinda like the one lense instead of the two separate. So I'm still looking to see what's good. Rather have a new model then rebuy a batwolf or Turbine. I'm also looking to go all chrome if possible.
Hello! Here's a few Oakley single shield models with similar frame widths to that of the Batwolf & Turbine :

I read both Gascan and Fuel Cell block peripheral vision some. Is that right?
Hi victor! Any frame that has wider temples will block out some peripheral vision. You can always check out the Drop Point if you need a full wrap with thinner temples: www.sportrx.com/oakley-drop-point.html Hope this helps!
@@sportrxeyewear Thank you!
@@sportrxeyewear Yeah, makes sense. BTW. Any idea where I ca get Gascans made in the USA?
Love my Gascan
I have a pair of gascan I just ordered fuel cell I hope I like them..
Can gascan and fuel cell survive on bb’s test? I’m a collector of gascan and fuel cell, is prescription lenses for reading and driving is possible to made? For my gascan and fuel cell , because I also need it on my firing range
Hi there! Are you referring to the high impact test that Oakley does at their lab? If so, then yes. We can also make custom rx lenses for for your Fuel Cell and Gascan! Grab a copy of your rx and contact one of our certified opticians for more information on how to get yourself a new set of lenses: www.sportrx.com/contact
GREAT video!! My question is I bought the Oakley SI Ballistic Det Cord..Wich one of these 2 are similar in size since I want to change it up!..
Great question Giovani! Based on our SportRx Frame Width (SFW). the Det Cord sizes in with an SFW of 138, the Gascan has the same SFW at 138, while the Fuel Cell fit is a little smaller at 135. If you love the fit of the Det Cord, my suggestion would be to go with the Gascan.
Hopefully this helps and we love that you want a variety of Oakley options🔥
just bought some gascans feel like the arms are tight and feels like they're floating over my nose bridge and eyes, does that means im more like a fuel cell? I cant find a video talking about how do i know the right fit. thanks
HI! Proper fit is defined or noted a few different ways depending on the head shape details of the wearer. If the bridge is not resting on your nose, then that suggests you may need a larger frame size. The Fuel Cell fits similarly to the Gascan but check out the Oakley Turbine as a slightly larger-fitting alternative 👉www.sportrx.com/oakley-turbine.html
Both nice, but I absolutely love my fuel cells!
I have the fuel cells, howevrr when i wear them my head begins hurting around like behind my ears and a little above my ears after a few minutes would this just be from the frames being to small? It almost feels like i am beginning to get a migraine headache.
yeah you should try oakley double edge theyll be way more comfortable. i have a huge head and fuel cells fit a litte tight but the double edge are perfect
Hi Brian! It sounds like the frame are a bit small. The frame width of the Fuel cell is about 130mm and the frame width of the Double Edge is about 140mm. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you out with!
Perfectly said! Thanks for your insight!
How's the Radar Lock path? Looks like it's right up my alley. Only thing is I'm not sure what low bridge means. Can u please explain that??
Hello! Low Bridge Fit (previously referred to as Asian Fit) was designed to provide a better fit for people with shallow nose bridges and high cheek bones who usually have trouble with glasses sliding down the face or resting on their cheeks. Associated features with LBF typically include a more substantial nosepad, wider profile, and shorter lens height. The Radar Lock Path is a great frame that suits many face shapes, not just those requiring LBF.
@@sportrxeyewear thank you! 👍
@@BullShark1579 of course!
I have the half jacket 2 xl but it feels a little loose on my head and it doesn't stay on very well. Also I need some more coverage from the lenses. Are these two tighter than the half jackets?
Hi Jimmy! These frame are larger than the Half Jacket 2.0 XL. If you need a slightly smaller frame with wrap you can always check out the Flak XS: www.sportrx.com/oakley-flak-xs.html or Fives Squared: www.sportrx.com/oakley-fives-squared.html
Can either frame accommodate a prescription of:
Sphere: Plano
Cylinder: -4.25
Axis: 085?
That may be possible...contact one of our certified opticians to find out for sure! Be sure to have your Rx handy: www.sportrx.com/contact
i was given a pair of fuel cells a couple years ago and now the lenses are all bubbly and scratched & i would like to change the lenses but i dont know what the original color is, i look online and i see about 10 different colors, mine look basic black. Is there a name for the color of the original fuel cell lenses?
It is likely you have PRIZM Black or even just Black Iridium. You can see a full review of PRIZM Black here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-black-polarized/
Hello can you make video with Oakley Fuel Cell vs Oakley Turbine. Thank you
Great suggestion! We will take that into account for future video production.
Obrigado pela informação, e foi legal o tchau 👋 no final.
I got gascan with prescription and I have the fuel cells also but without prescription
Hi Daniel! Thanks for tuning in and sharing your picks with us!
So Pricey for a plastic quality of a sunglass,much better to have a Gatorz Eyewear😎 durable frame aluminum.
If you have small head, is their an alternative to the gascan that are even smaller?
Hey William! Yes, there are a few models with similar design characteristics to that of the Gascan with a smaller fit. Check em out!

I got the gas can but probably should have gone w fuel cell because of my big dome: any recommended methods for widening the temple to temple width?
Unfortunately, there is not a good method for widening the frame. One of the cool things about Oakley's O-Matter is that it will stand the test of time without losing its shape. The downside is that it means the material is pretty good at maintaining its shape even if you don't want it to. Perhaps it's time for a pair of Fuel Cells!?
www.sportrx.com/oakley-fuel-cell.html
SportRx right on, I may be psyching myself out; the temples grab my skull gently enough. The polarized prizm lenses are an experience! I subscribed to the channel: thanks for the feedback and review
I would like to know on your opinion about ? Matte translucent blue prizm fuel cell. And what do you think about it can you let me know because I'm thinking about Buying a pair
Hi Jesse! That sounds great! Love the color
I love all models of oakley I have maybe 20 gasscans
But why so many though?
I have 5 gascan models, I love them all. I guess its different for everyone
hi
is Grey Polarized mirror ?
What is a extra large Oakley? I have a huge wide head....help!
Hey Mr Crowley! Oakley has some bigger frames that should be able to help you out. Some of Oakley's bigger frames are the Fuel Cell, Turbine, and Twoface XL. I have attached links so you can check them out on the website. After clicking on a link make sure to check the bottom right of the landing page and it will have the frame measurements. This should help you get an accurate idea to how big each frame is. Please let us know if you have any more questions. Thanks for commenting!

www.sportrx.com/oakley-turbine.html
www.sportrx.com/oakley-twoface-xl.html
What about double edge?
The Double Edge has a smaller frame width and may be to narrow on your face if you need extra large sunglasses. The frame width on the Double edge is 119 mm compared to the 136 mm for the Fuel Cell. The Double Edge has a more medium to large fit.
SportRx if the double edge has 66mm....how is the width only 119mm?
Mr Crowley You are correct. I went and remeasured the the Double Edge and it has a frame width of 141 mm not 119. Thank you for pointing that out! I have notified our Web team to correct our website. The Double Edge is one of the biggest frames Oakley offers and it provides great coverage.
Cool, this vid helped me make my decision.......and out of stock!
Uh oh! on Sportrx.com? You can scope the Gascan here: www.sportrx.com/oakley-gascan.html and the Fuel Cell here: www.sportrx.com/oakley-fuel-cell.html
Ack! Well, they should be available again soon, hopefully. You can always reach out to see if a little special treatment may be in order for you! Our friendly, knowledgeable opticians would love to hear from you at 888-831-5817
@@sportrxeyewear Thank you
Fuel Cell all day.
Hello Rob! I just recieved my Oakley fuel cells today, and they were waayyyy too small for my head. What would you suggest for someone with a huge head?
Hi Glenn! We would recommend the Oakley Double Edge! You can always contact one of our certified opticians for a second opinion and specific size information: www.sportrx.com/contact Thanks for reaching out!
2 Frisbees
Amazing
Shahrukh khan used this in don movie.
Just ordered gascan showing the same pic of gascan he used
Hello, Please advise if the Oakley Fuel Cell comes only in one standard size fit? Thanks.
Hi Richard! That is correct the Oakley Fuel Cell comes in one standard size.
@@sportrxeyewear Thanks, Much appreciated.
Will the fuel cell lenses fit the Gascans?
Will the fuel cell lenses fit the Gascans?
They unfortunatley are non interchangable with one another as each lens size is different. the lenses must be exact so only gascan lenses will fit in other Gascan models. Hope this helps!
@@sportrxeyewear
Thanks,it does
I ordered straightlinks and they’re too big. Would the fuel cell also be too big or do they fit better (tighter) than the straightlink?
Hi there! Both models are pretty similar in size. The Fuel Cell hugs the back of your head a bit more though.
Fuel Cell /model number ?
Hi! The model number is OO9096 👍
need a fuel cell vs turbine video!
Thanks for the suggestion! We have added it to our list of reviews to come.
Wow man bun!!!
Gotta keep the mane pulled back to see the shades!
Fuel cell os bealtifull
Are these good for running?
Hi there! the Turbine would be a bit better because it also has tons of grip on the temple arms. You can also check out our list of the best oakley running sunglasses here: www.sportrx.com/blog/best-oakley-running-sunglasses/
Dumb question, can the lenses from a fuel cell fit a gas can?
Hi Devin! The lenses are not interchangeable between those two models.
Dang
What are these sunglasses designed for? Running, shooting?
They are versatile and can be used for many activities. If you need extra grip, be sure to check out the Turbine: www.sportrx.com/oakley-turbine.html

Man buns! lol
You have to buy a chin
Disliked cause the bronytail
what justifies the price for plastic that costs over $100 are they made out of gold? I don't get why sunglasses have to cost so much, your just paying for the name you can buy cheap fake ones for only $20 lol
