OakleyMen's Holbrook Sunglasses

Great sunglasses, they feel and look 100% genuine. The visual from the prizm lens is outstanding. They are sturdy and light weight. Only issue I had was having to look up the size difference, and had to do a bit of research. I chose the 55mm, and I wasn't disappointed. I even got some spare lens from another buyer, just to have as back up. The lenses are easy enough to swap out, but not enough for them to sit loosely in their place, which is great..First time I've spent this amount of money on sunglasses, but im always buying new ones.. I've only had them for a few days, but I absolutely love them so far. Time will tell if it was worth spending this amount of money on these bad boys.

I bought the Holbrook with Ruby Prizm polarised lenses. I've watched all the videos online of people raving about them, but dismissed it as mostly marketing hype as most of those "reviewers" were people selling them and repeating the talking points Oakley's sales team gave them.I liked the look of them and fancied trying a nice pair of sunglasses for once in my life though. This site had them for £50 less than direct from Oakley and far less than I pay for Specs, so I took a punt.As soon as I put them on I was really impressed. Rather than just "turning the lights down" like most glasses do, these did enhance contrast and seemed to blow up the greens. On a late and sunny May day it looked awesome.I really like these glasses as I find those that "turn the lights down" can make me feel a bit cold and depressed when the clouds cover the sun, whereas these work just great as sunglasses, and do greatly reduce the brightness, but crucially they don't make everything too dark.The frames feel good quality too and I have had Oakley spectacles before and they were bullet proof and last donkeys years. Eventually the prescription went out after a decade or so, but whilst they were no longer useful from a lens perspective, the Oakley frames were still A1 condition.As for VFM, that's a tough one. We all know these cost a fraction of the price to make so they are selling at a massive markup. You pay for the name. You can buy no-name Chinese imports from Amazon for £15 (I have a few pairs) and they do the job really well. Some people report coatings coming off the lenses of those cheap ones though and that doesn't happen with Oakley.So I give them 5/5 overall, but the VFM can only be a 3/5. That's a personal thing though. If mine were stolen tomorrow, I'd buy another pair. Make of that what you will.

Great sunglasses for lots of use. They do not comply with road use regulations though but I have no idea why as colours are more vibrant and contrast is improved. The polarising lens is effective. I bought them purely because I noticed a sight anomaly and I didn't want to take a chance on alternatives.They grip the side of the head securely and are both comfortable and well made. However, there is no spring on the arms to permit accidental opening more than 90 degrees. They feel reasonably sturdy yet are light weight. I expect many years of use from them.Are they really worth it? Not really. The price is probably mostly for the name though as a back to back comparison against Polaroid glasses and cheaper Q-Queen glasses indicated Oakley are a little better but they are the innovator in prismatic colouring. The Prizm makes colours more vivid and richer. I'd check the Oakley website though as I'd have saved £50 as I bought from Vistaexpert but prices seem to change or may that was a Brexit thing. Nonetheless, look at the Oakley website to ensure the correct choice is made as Prizm is only available with some lenses.

Just awesome

Amazing visually enhancing lenses. The world gets Photoshop’ed!

👍

These were available at a price lower than my local sunglasses outlet which made them very affordable. The design and function of the sunglasses was good as they're Oakley's !

A fantastic pair of sunglasses, the seller delivered faster than expected and was secure within its packaging.Very happy indeed.
