Oakley Kato & Encoder Road Test

[@panagiotiskamnitsis7368]

best review i've seen for both glasses, covers every aspect, well done!

[@eugenemyronstewart4216]

Brilliant review. Thanks mate! Made my decision to get a pair of katos. Upgrading from my flak 2.0 which ill just use for hiking now abd the katos for cycling

[@RadicalArtKids]

Awesome review! I live the kato’s. I knew the nose piece was a win🤘🏻

[@MrVizziato23]

Found a Sunglass Hut that had the Kato in stock and was excited to go try them on, but unfortunately they're a little to Big for my face and stick out to much on the sides and that bummed me out because I really wanted them. Love they're futuristic vibe. I also tried on the encoders and found that they fit my face much better because they're a smaller lens, they're a size 36 whereas the Kato is size 49.
I just bought the Sondors Rockstar E-bike so that's another reason why I wanted the Oakley Kato, the nice thing is that the encoders use the same kinda lens so that makes me feel somewhat better.

Thanks for the review!

The Kato look awesome! Only scary thing is the price and non replaceable lenses.

[@jamesmbryant6349]

Kato looks dope.

[@danabergman3411]

I'm in So. Cal near the water & saw the KATO lastnight on Oakley's site, watched your 2 video's to get some different views. I splurged, went and bought a pair of the polished black frame w/Prizm road lenses today at noon, rode with them for 27 miles tonight, WONDERFUL, SWEET, all that good stuff.
I have a pair of M-Frame w/ ice Iridium sweep lenses and the KATO rival's them along with the others in my Oakley collection.
KATO are a one off look for sure.
Thanks. 👍🤟👣🇺🇸

Glad to help!

Kato do look like they fit better. More asymmetrical. Got the black ones. We will see:) really good review. Thanks!

[@VoiceofFireInternational]

Great Review Bro! I’m a golfer and I love wearing cycling glasses while golfing. I’m debating between the two myself. The kato looks best while your riding! You look more like a Harley Man than a cyclist! Keep Up the good work and thanks for the review! God Bless Mate!

[@mohdrizhamfahmi]

I like the kato..

[@roguedog98]

Thanks for review. How's wind protection compare between the 2? I'd assume Kato is better but your comment about wind coming in gave me some pause.

[@gravelbikepirate5986]

It’s just enough to keep the lens from fogging. The more I wear the Kato the more I like them. The Encoder is definitely a more socially acceptable style tho.

[@Powerline91]

How are the nose pieces on either model as far as visibility? Is the peripheral visibility distracting at all by the nose piece?

[@gravelbikepirate5986]

I don’t notice them at all.

[@chrisboyd4706]

May I ask if you have a larger sized head by chance? The reason I ask is because I do and I would really like to purchase these but I'm nervous they won't fit me at all, I wear classic design double wide pit vipers, and also 100% speedcraft and hypercraft models too, but these are so futuristic but I'm worried they won't fit, could you possibly give me you're opinion on the sizing by chance?

[@gravelbikepirate5986]

I do have a pretty big head. If your interested I might be willing to sell these. I don’t wear them very much any way.

[@Dralbastaki]

any sweat issue?

[@gravelbikepirate5986]

No. Just remembering if you itch your nose it’s half covered. Fingerprints. And to push the glasses up there isn’t a frame so your touching the lens more then usual.

[@EraseTime]

Are they fragile or pretty solid?

[@gravelbikepirate5986]

Very solid. They are made of a thick lens material. You can tell they are made to last.

Thanks buddy ❤😊
