Yea like I bought these sunglasses says regular fit how do u know measurements doesn’t even say a little confusing by not having that what is Oakley regular fit size
2:01 From an aesthetics perspective, those look waaaay too big for your face. Good coverage in terms of vision sure, but physically they look massive for you
Big head here. 7 5/8 hat. I own 3 Oakley’s: Gauge 8L, Mainlink XL, Double Edge. This video was incredibly valuable even though I don’t need glass/RX, so thanks for the info and overall content on the channel.
I got two pairs of Eyepatch2 Oakley, one are Special signature pair. All other Oakley sunglasses I had I sold, The Eyepatch2 I will never sell stil wear them. But the signature pair I will put away now they are kept in great shape , for a rainy day. Because I just ordered Double Edge Black Camo.
just purchased the turbine in jade green, prizm and polarized. They fit great and they're very comfortable. The best part is the stay on and don't slide down.
I have a big head and I love my collection!!! So glad my models were featured I'm rocking my Double Edge, Holbrook xl, deviations, and my newley added sutros!! Love them
Fellow 7 5/8 hat size here. I've got several pairs of Holbrook xl's and turbines, and fit awesome. One thing I will say bout the double edge frames that maybe you guys forgot to mention, is they to me are for big BIG HEADS. Was funny watching Nick putting them on with a medium sized head. Reaction was priceless. "Oh Boy" lmao. They are big even for me. Keep up the great work, love watching your videos.
Okay, yes you guys are doing a great job. I am enjoying the videos and I find myself watching them even if the theme is not something I am specifically interested in. Always something new to learn. Thanks for sharing.
As an Optician with a very large head the only Oakley that ever fit me was the Eyepatch 2. Since Oakley no longer supports making the lenses for it I have ordered up a Double Edge. It gets here tomorrow and I sure hope it fits. Really wish Oakley would continue to make lenses for frames they discontinue.
Hi Farrell! Good call. We had some other viewers chiming in about the Fuel Cell as well! Tons of coverage and enough wrap to keep all available light sources from sneaking in behind the lens. Thanks for sharing your favorite with us!
Turbine! I tournament bass fish and those things are without a doubt my most important piece of equipment in and out of my boat! Light, comfortable and the stay put running 75mph down the lake. Thanks Oakley #the1andonly
Man you guys rock !!!!! I’m went try Oakley’s Sutro. Man I saw a video they will come in prescription in September’s I wear a 8 on fitted I got a dome lol
Since Oakley discontinued the Big Taco sunglasses I have been struggling to find something as comfortable and big as the Big Taco, any recommendations?
They are perfect if you want one pair of sunglasses to get you by in a variety of situations! You can scope them out here: www.sportrx.com/oakley-mainlink-xl.html And they are also offered in standard fit(non-XL).
What are the best for WIDE face/head? I don't necessarily have a big head, its just very round, and wide. Most shades are tight at my temple/ear section.
Word brother that’s all I wear, but I believe Double Edge is the new Eyepatch2 man. I tried them on man just perfect. They fit just like Eyepatch2 and I ordered the best most expensive pair I could find. I ve been wearing Oakley sunglasses since 1992. I think this was close to the year when they first started?
@@roverroko306 thatswhati heard too. I went into a motorcycle shop to get some eye protection. They had some gatorz for 70 bucks. they fit but not enough lenses and not as comfortable. Turns out they are a totally 200 dollar shades.
I called water head ,crome dome watermelon head my Mom use to tell me when they pick at your head you tell them "Big head big wit little head not a bit " Thanks mom for getting me through those early big head years ..RIP !
Is there any color difference between all four Sapphire lens listed on the Oakley website: Sapphire iridium Sapphire iridium polarized Prizim sapphire Prizim sapphire polarized
Hello! From the perspective of someone looking at anther person wearing the lenses, they appear somewhat the same in terms of color and mirror intensity. BUT from the perspective of someone wearing glasses and seeing through the lens, the differences are obvious. A polarized lens will use a filter to cut glare from objects and surfaces in your field of view. This is especially important for activites in and around water. Prizm Refers to Oakley's proprietary lens tech that manipulates percieved saturation and separation of colors. I can't recommend this tech highly enough but you really have to experience it for yourself. Hope this helps some! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wvNDEkPeAsw.html
@@sportrxeyewear yea I’ve done some research and I actually have 3 pairs of prizm polarized sunglasses. I was just wondering what the other variants like the sapphire iridium and the prizim sapphire without polarization had to offer. Thank you.
I have a pair of ruby rose polarized turbines looking at get some perscription ones from you guys for work as I'm a truck/tractor driver and everyday wear here in new zealand absolutely love your videos rob my favorite pair that I lost one day were the 24k gold offshoot pair signed by Shaun white I think
I am looking for a pair of large Oakleys that have the 24K Prizm Polarized lenses. I wear a hat size of 7 3/4 and I have tried several and the only one that comes close to fitting is the Holbrook XL. The Portal X and Ejector were too small. Do you have any recommendations? I love the 24K Prizm Polarized lenses!
Yeah, that's a tough one! If you don't need prescription lenses, your selection is much narrower when looking for the Prizm 24k Polar lens. The Holbrook XL is the only thing I can find. If you are able to get your hands on a Crossrange XL, you can get replacement lenses from Oakley in 24k Iridium Polar, but they're not Prizm. Otherwise, we can make a custom prescription lens in that color in something like the Double Edge or the Mainlink XL! www.sportrx.com/oakley-double-edge.html www.sportrx.com/oakley-mainlink-xl.html
Hi Craig! You are within Rob's head size range and he sports the Split Shot in this video: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-split-shot-sunglass-review/ I wouldn't say it is the best option for BIG heads though because it has more of a medium fit.
7 3/4 and ordered double edge because of this video. Love them. Can you do a oakley eyeglass for big head? I have Oakley Exchange and they are good for my big head but I feel there could be better. most eye glass places have limited selections so it hard to shop xl eyeglasses.
Howdy! Here's a curated list of L to XXL eyeglasses by Oakley. Keep in mind we can make clear lenses for any Oakley sunglass frame as well! 👉www.sportrx.com/shopby/brand-oakley/frame_fit2-l-xl-xxl/frames_for-male/product_type-eyeglasses.html?show_full_attribute=1 🔥
How could you leave out the FUEL CELLS?!?! I have a pretty big melon and the Fuel Cells look & fit pretty good. Also have a pair of Flak Jacket XLJ's which are awesome but I like the better side coverage of the Fuel Cells - they keep a lot more light out.
Please! Big heads not only means tall heads. Lots of frames classified as L/XL are barely wider than M ones, but significantly taller. Maybe with more Asian fit versions (although I'm not of Asian descent) you could reach big/wide heads better. For example, while I like my Turbine's, they're a bit too tight at my temples and too tall at the glasses so they bump against my cheeks sometimes. The width of both the lenses and frame on my Gauge 8 is perfect for my head, but they're too tall. The adjustable nosepads help, but they'll be so much better with a few mm less (height).
Hello Felipe! You bring up a great point! We don't mean to lump all big heads together because as you stated, sometimes people have wider or taller heads but not always both. Asian Fit options are a great choice if you are having contact with your cheekbones because the larger nosepads lift the sunglasses off your face more. The Flak 2.0, Sutro, and Targetline are all available in asian fit. Let one of our certified opticians know if you need help finding a frame: www.sportrx.com/contact
8 1/8 inch head. I've had a pair of Eyepatch2 frames for 7 years - on to my 4th pair of replacement lenses since they're the only pair of glasses that have ever fitted me suitably.
How about a video for smaller heads? I can’t wear the larger glasses like gas cans and crankcase but others like the fives squared and straight jackets fit me good.
How comparable in size are the turbine and holbrook xl? I have a pair of turbine i wear for construction and they fit me really well but i wanted to get a more casual pair for weekends and was looking at the holbrook xl. I was wondering if they were smaller or bigger...thanks for any input
Hopefully they will come out with something similar in the future. If you happen to wear a prescription, we can make custom rx lenses for your Racing Jacket!
Hey guys, the Oakley Pitt Bull is a great fit for me, but it is no longer produced. Which frame would you recommend to replace it, mainly for commute cycling? I think I need a full wrap kind of style for wind protection. Tried cycling in with my Sliver XL/Targetline and it wasn't confortable.
Hi there! We would recommend the Turbine: www.sportrx.com/oakley-turbine.html or Jawbreaker: www.sportrx.com/oakley-jawbreaker.html Both of these models provide tons of coverage and have grip on the nosepad and temples to keep the frames in place on your ride. Let us know what you think!
Thanks for your video. I ordered a pair of turbines however the arms are too tight, causing pain behind the ear. Is there a way to custom configure the arms? Looking for a pair of sunglasses that have wide arms like the multiple pairs of Ray Bans I own? Any recommendations?
Hi there! The Turbine has quite a bit of wrap which is why it may be hugging your head too tightly. If you need grip and a more wide open fit we recommend the Mainlink XL: www.sportrx.com/oakley-mainlink-xl.html
Great Video! I as well as some of the commenter here have a very large 7 3/4 dome, and find the Double Edge a great fit. I do a ton of mountain biking and am looking for a more sport oriented pair of glasses. Do you think the Sutro's would be too small? (they would work so well with that low light lens)
Hello Kirk! I think the Sutros could definitely work out for you. The shield is HUGE and the unobtanium saddle nosebridge makes them versatile enough for most sports. Furthermore, the PRIZM Low Light lens is awesome! Do you plan on using them for MTB?
@@sportrxeyewear Thats good news! ill have to see if i can find a shop near me, so i can try a pair on. And yes, I would be using these for mountain biking and trail running. I recently got a pair of Airbrake MTB goggles wit the low light prizm lens, and they are amazing! (BTW big headed fellas, the Airbrake MTB goggle fits big heads like a glove!) Thanks for the great work you do Rob for us Big Headed guys!
Good call! They will work great for early morning or dusk and give you that PRIZM boost in contrast. Sounds like we need to do some Oakley MTB goggle videos! Thanks for the heads up on that!
Hi there! It sounds like the Flak 2.0 XL isn't quite large enough for you...If you would like alternate frame recommendations you can always contact our certified opticians here: www.sportrx.com/contact
The Holbrook XL or Mainlink XL would look awesome with clear lenses! Grab a copy of your rx and contact one of our certified opticians here: www.sportrx.com/contact
Hi Jordan! The Det Cord IS available in rx with PRIZM Black Polarized lenses! You can check them out here: www.sportrx.com/oakley-industrial-det-cord-ansi.html
Hi there! We aren't familiar with that style but you can always contact one of our certified opticians to help you find your fit: www.sportrx.com/contact
Wow guys thanks for making a video like this. I measure a hair under 8" and need at least 138mm between the temples. Only a couple of these actually fit me without pressing against my temples, the turbine and the double edge. Maybe more that I have not tried. Can you guys give the frame width of the mainlink XL? Also do you happen to have the frame width of the tifosi elder? I currently wear a pair of Kaenon Burny which fit great so I keep replacing the lenses instead of dealing with finding a new pair that fits. I also have their jetty which also fits but I adjusted the temples myself. I would like the mainlink XL if they are wide enough.
PRIZM Field can be used for Golf. It will still give you contrast enhancement and make the ball easier to track. However, PRIZM Golf is the most optimal. You can also check out PRIZM Dark Golf if you are playing in bright and sunny conditions: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-golf-lenses-prescription/
I use a 7 1/4 hat. Not the biggest. But my face is on the square area. So small lenses are not a go to me, I’m between the double edge and portal x.. I’ll buy either one.
Hi guys. Thank you for this video. I’m a big fan of Big Taco but I cannot find it anymore. So out of your options, which one is similar to big taco? I’m considering Double edge or Det cord. Help me
I had the double edge, and fitted nice. But, the stem that goes over my ears gets irritated, I didn't like that. So now, I just ordered the Turbine Rotor Prizm, so will let you know how that feels.
I Big time miss the Jupiter squared. had them in woodgrain and black as well. i always thought they could have been just a touch bigger. of the ones you guys have noted which are closest?? cheers!
thanks for The Reply!. i know it takes time to work through all the Q&A Oakley should be glad to have you around. i just ordered 2 pair based off your xl recommendations
We still got something for that big brain Mr. Berry, don't you worry!🧠 www.sportrx.com/shopby/frame_fit2-xxl/frames_for-male/product_type-sunglasses.html?show_full_attribute=1
Hi there Ray! Sounds like the mainlink could possibly work: www.sportrx.com/oakley-mainlink.html You can reach out to one of our certified opticians for more recommendations: www.sportrx.com/contact
News flash, your head is deep but it's not that wide (isn't much wider than the guy's from Oakley). Guys with big heads struggle to find glasses because of width of their heads, depth is a secondary factor.
Sounds like you need a frame with straight temples. If you are having trouble finding a frame that will fit your head you can always contact our certified opticians via live chat or phone here: www.sportrx.com/contact
