Oakley SUTRO Large Frame Sunglasses

Personally, I feel Oakley is still the best eyewear brand out on the market for cycling, but there’s no denying the American brand has been reeled in by the likes of 100% and Smith. However, with its new Oakley Sutro large frame sunglasses, an urban visor like offering, the brand is look to fight back.

Recently, there has been a bit of a trend to go larger on the glasses front, which I like a lot and Oakley was the first to reintroduce the larger lens with the Jawbreaker. Those initially divided opinion, with many either totally loving the styling or hating them and the same can be said for the latest Oakley Sutro.

When I say the new Oakley Sutro’s are big, I mean big! Big enough that the lens does not interrupt vision, and big enough that we are talking about face coverage, not just eye coverage. But large frame sunglasses is the trend and you can see that in the likes of the Glendale’s from 100%.

That vision is enhanced with the use of the very good Prizm lens technology that Oakley Large Sunglasses have. These glasses are made for a more casual urban setting where I find myself looking around a lot more due to the hazards of traffic, meaning that these would become even more annoying out in town.

However, ventilation is pretty good despite the large nature of the lens itself and haven’t noticed any misting and even on the hot days I didn’t have to deal with overly hot, sweaty eyes.Oakley Large Sunglasses are good for the commute in the city too.
