While procuct piracy is not something i support, a lot of "foakleys" come out of the same machines "the real ones" come out of. They just sell a few boxes out the back door when oakley isnt looking. Same with a lot of procuct that are manufactured in asia and then marked up by 5000%, because a brand name is on it.
I bought a pair of "Oakley's " awhile ago, and they just didn't feel like an expensive pair of glasses. Upon further inspection, it said "Orkley" on them. Lol!
It's amazing how the manufacturers were so obvious with those mistakes when it comes to what to look for but I've come across some A Grade Fake Oakley's that even the experts have to look twice at because they are such good copies (Radar's) 😮 🧐 lol
When I was 11 I want a pair of Oakley’s so bad. My parents bought me a fake pair. They broke and I brought them to get fixed. That’s when I found out they were foakleys!!! Cool vid guys! 🤙
I owned a fuel cell for years, till someone stoles my oakley. I was pretty much confident with the glasses. Now I ordered a Mainlink and Gibston. I hope the quality ist still worth the price..
Thank you so much for this video SportRx, I referenced it to authenticate a pair of Crankshafts I received today and everything came Oakley authentic. Thanks again, really appreciate the help.
I bought a pair of,made in the USA, Oakley Straight Jacket sunglasses 10 years ago and the quality is impeccable. I recently bought a pair a pair of Custom Flak 2.0 XL prism polarised lenses and a pair of Crosslink Trubridge and in both cases the built quality is nowhere near the Straight Jackets'.
The old style Turbines do come with the square O's, I got mine from the oakley store that way. Also they do not have the "assembled in the USA" badge. Some prizm lenses don't have the "P" etched and are polarized
@cblodge42 I was just gonna say that. I have the original turbine's with the square O. Pretty upset I can't get new earsocks for them. The unobtanium is basically gone. I also have some from 2017-2018 with the rounded O and no red made in USA badge. Also, my prizm deep water lenses only have prizm etched in them. No P.
I've had Oakley Fenceline for over 2 years. Absolutely stellar glasses. Not a scratch on the frame or lenses. The only sun glasses that are range approved for saftey.
The first time I try Prizm Polarized I was amazed how the grass and sky looks lol. Truly amazing upgrade from just Polarized only hehehe. Love my the ruby though
I’m concerned about some Flak jackets that I saw over here in Ecuador because they cost $185 but I’m not sure what to look out for to tell if they’re real or fake 😰
Just bought the golf Oakleys that are very good. I just noticed that I can read my heads up display in my car while wearing them which I cannot do with my other sunglasses which are polarized. Big help for me while driving. The Oakleys are now my golf and driving glassed. Will use the polarized in my other car and while fishing. Just had cataract surgery so I can get sunglasses without correction. As a former corrective lens wearer I know the importance of high quality optics.
Anyway, the oakley lens coating dose not last long, my jawbreaker lens coating peel off after two years of using. Can you explain why since this been many cases happened to many buyers.
Hi Ryan! You can always contact one of our certified opticians and explain how you have used/treated your sunglasses and they may be able to help you troubleshoot to help your lenses last longer: www.sportrx.com/contact Thanks for reaching out!
@@sportrxeyewear I have consulted local so-called opticians for advice and answer given is better replace your lens within two years warranty period since the expensive oakley lens can last only for two years . Is this the good solution?.....anyway , I really like oakley design and give it another try , I get myself a new pair of flight jacket sunglasses and a replacement lens for jawbreaker . If same problem happen again then I will say bye bye to oakley and switch to other brand .
Normally, you shouldn't have to replace your lenses within the two year period if they are free from manufacturing defects and you take care of your sunglasses. If you would like to have some more insight into the situation, I would recommend contacting one of our opticians on Livechat or by phone here: www.sportrx.com/contact
Oakley lenses are shit. They always end up delaminating, peel, flake or bubbling is a problem they need to fix....it always starts at the edges of the lenses.
Guys, it's all well and good you two looking and comparing but in no way have you helped customers with what to look for that's fake unless it's very obvious. Take close ups so that we can compare as some fakes are getting smarter and smarter...
I bought a pair of Oakley fuel cell from sunglass hut inside of bass pro shop and mine didn't even come in a box. Just a bag with some paperwork inside.
hi guys thanks so much for the information iam right now looking to purchase a pair of oakley flak 2.0 xl but i really want to know i am getting the authentic oakley
Hi Kester, You will have the option to pick between Oakley Authentic Lenses and Our SportRx Lenses. Authentic lens orders go directly to the Oakley lab for manufacturing
Dude good video I might of bought a pair of I think fake gas cans today lol i knew they were thou and called the guy on it I had my real worn out ones with me and lots of stuff was off mainly the weight and hinge movement
I bought a pair of Clifdens and my cloth does not have an accessory pocket? Everything else looked right but I would like your take on fake clifdens if they exist
Thanks helped me out. Bought a pair online. After watching this I now know they are fake. A lot of fakes on ebay. Nearly look legit. This recent pair nearly fooled me until I watched this video. Thanks heaps for this video. I think I'll just order from the Oakley Australia website to be safe and know hat I am actually going to get.
Another way to tell if your Oakley's are fake is to literally smell them. Yes you can smell a fake pair of Oakley's. Some fake ones have a really strong plastic chemical smell similar to paint thinner to them. A real big dead giveaway if you smell it. And another detail is that all authentic Oakley's have the model name of the frame on the inside left temple arm of the glasses (EG: Holbrook, EVZero, Radar EV, Sutro, Etc.). If it is not there on the inside left temple arm, they are most likely fake.
The easiest way to make sure you get real oakleys is to only order them from the official website or get them somewhere like cables or any other certified oakley dealer
Love the oakley frames I have a fat head and have never owned a comfortable pair of sunglasses until these lol still buying the cheep knock off lenses for them tho
Sounds like a good review... Next time, when you are showing off a "black" pair of sun glasses, wear a white T-shirt. Black T-shirts and black sunglasses don't show up. And please get your camera closer with better light to the item when you are showing details. 5 feet away with a small item (sunglasses) is too far to see detail. Your background needs to be a white or possibly neon green to show any detail on dark items. Better lighting and more close ups. PEACE
It sounds like you can appreciate (more than most) our new approach to our videos! It was certainly a learning curve, but we have progressed considerably! Thank you for watching!
My first Oakleys were 2 of the PitBull frames. On one of the frames the nose pad sections got damaged. Then I replaced the surviving PitBull frame with 2 x Prizim Sappire Gascans. Can you still get new RX Lenses for the PitBull frames?
I bought a Oakley Crankshaft frosted frame with violet iridium lens for $49.95 thru eBay with very good seller rating. The price range from $49.95 to $89.95. I’m guessing the Crankshaft is cheaper because they are older models no longer in production.. is that correct?
There are several styles that have been discontinued by Oakley that can be purchased at huge discounts. You just need to make sure you are buying them from a reputable online company that is selling the real thing. I bought a pair of polarized Oakleys last year for only $55. They originally retailed for $190.
I found a pair of crankcase on side of the road, obviously fell off car,in good condition, inside of lenses has what looks like stress fractures,it could be from sweating,do authentic Oakley lenses do that,the frames r embossed, lenses have polarised etched into bottom left,I'm wondering if their real????
Hey Paul! If there's an etching on the lenses it usually signifies authentic Oakleys. However the stress fractures could be the result of improper care. Probably due to being out in the sun or on the dash of a hot car for hours. Good find!
Hello guys, I ordered a pair of prescription Oakley sunglasses Prizm Polarized from LensCrafters. I just picked them up and I suspect they didn’t provide the prizm lenses. I wear them outside and there is no difference from my Ray Ban prescription Sunglasses in term of clarity. How do I know for sure if my lenses are Prizm? I heard they may have a P logo on it, mine has the O logo only on one lens
Hi Andrew! We carry the standard issue shocktube and it seems to have the normal markings a safety/ballistic rated frame would have. Although we have noticed a few pairs where the frame is stamped ballistic but there are no markings on the stock lenses. Hope this helps!
Thanks. Just one suggestion: it would be better if you change some lighting in your studio because it's not clearly seen some details of black eyeglasses over the black t-shirt background. :) Thanks.
Hello! We would need to check the frame and bevel to make sure it will hold a prescription lens, BUT if they are indeed fake, they won't likely pair with the same size lens as it's official counterpart, as Fake Oakleys usually do not have the same size specs. Give us a call or send a photo of your frames to info@sportrx.com for more assistance! 877.289.2999 🙌
Guys I have an Oakley Holbrook camaflouage frame, But it doesn't have the red badge at the end of one of the frame, I bought mine from middle east and from authentic website ? Does that mean it is fake ?
It ultimately comes down to the retailer. You can usually get a sense of whether an online retailer is legitimate or not. A good thing to note is their return policy. SportRx only works with authentic certified brands like Oakley, Maui Jim, & WileyX among others. You can return an item for literally any reason within 45 days of purchase for exchange or full refund, no fees at all. 👉 www.sportrx.com/return-policy
Are ones without the "USA Assembled" badge are the ones made elsewhere? I have a Drop Point that has all the indicators of a legit product except for the Made in USA(older models) / USA Assembled badge.
Hmmm, it could be an older drop point model before they began using the badge. Send some photos to info@sportrx.com and our opticians will determine their authenticity and get back to you with an answer!
Hey guys was wondering i bought the Fuel Cell limited edition farrari Oakley's with the ruby iridium but I got them wet and didn't dry them and the lenses peeled 😡 I can't find replacement do y'all know any service that can re Ruby red iridium my lenses please help bro thanks for all y'all's Oakley tips
What about customs being resold on ebay? How do we know if they are real? I am told they don't have the SKU printed on them, the Prizm on the lens (so you can get custom laser etching) nor the sticker on the box...
Hmmm tough to say without an image to reference. Send some photos of the product to info@sportrx.com and a licensed optician will review the images and get back to you asap with an answer!
The sentiment is a little extreme for us, but thanks for commenting! We would recommend some quality brands before going to knock offs because the chance of knock offs standing up to any sort of wear and tear is unlikely. Maybe start with Suncloud for a range of great styles for a very reasonable price! www.sportrx.com/shopby/brand-sun_cloud.html
Damn my old turbines I bought were fake huh. They actually lasted 3 years and the replacement lens worked perfectly. Still have through long-boarding and having them crushed by nephews...so the knockoffs must have been pretty close to the original, I almost prefer them over my real pair of Oakley’s turbine rotor. Granted only one of the five pairs of Oakley’s I bought online were fake so it’s a bummer but strangely I’m not not super mad. Live and learn
I work at Oakley and The first round of turbines were released with square O-icons where as for later releases were oval o-icons as you see. Most of the time they cannot get the lenses dimensions right so if the authentic lenses fit the frames good, that most likely means your turbines are real. Its just a first generation of turbines.
It’s pretty common that they will be in just a pouch if you didn’t get authentic Oakley prescription lenses. It’s because when the practice buys the frames from Oakley in non-prescription, that’s how they send them. Then the practice send the glasses to their lab and provides to you only what they received from Oakley
Are you guys for real... Are you saying that if you spend £200 the little bag is better quality than the ones you get for £15 and the box is different too
It's more that the better quality bag is indicative of the better quality frame. The bag can be tangential evidence of the more important thing, which is the frame quality. Thanks for watching!
Other then the giant label on the box there are not any blatantly obvious problems without a side by side exam. Thicker cord? Really. So for the best value buy a knockoff pair then go to the Oakley website and buy original Oakley lens. I get all the other little differences but really never saw painted frames ever. lol
On the Oakley website I saw the square Oakley logo on the glasses, not so oval how you guys mentioned on the video. So not sure if the logo is the best way to tel
HI! They were speaking to the logo shape on the Turbine frame specifically. Other models like the Gascan can have a square-shaped logo, but the Turbine will always have the oval shape on the temple.
My dog chewed up my oaklys sun glass and my wife bought a new one for me. I instantly new it was fake only because I have had mine for so long. I don't think some one that is new to the brand would ever guessed. They are really good fakes and ironically fits my face better then the real oaklys, but I rather have my old oaklys.
Oh dang, sorry to hear that Eric! If you would like our opticians to verify the authenticity of your frame, send a few photos to info@sportrx.com, and they'll review the images and get back to you with an answer!
Hmmm, without saying definitively it could be knockoff. Send a couple pictures of the frames to info@sportrx.com and a licensed optician will review the images and get back to you with an answer!
I’ve seen the real box real bag real paperwork yet the glasses were fake. I has a surefire m600 light that I sent to surefire. The only way the manufacturer knew it was a fake was the serial number and led when they took the light apart. The box it came in was a 100% perfect copy of the original.
Oh snap so you telling me these sellers are buying the orginal boxes now and selling the fake glasses. Thanks for your post bro, im only gonna buy my oakleys from the store now
i have bought my second oakley,i have used so many sunglasses..so far the oakleys are the best in my opinion HDO technology is great..i had jupiter squared switched now to turbine rotor!!
I bought an Oakley eyewear frame for near about $79 from an authentic seller in India but I don't have microfiber cloth and not so big label so, should I worry or not?
Hi! I got my Oakley Flak 2.0 XL customs today and I got them directly from Oakleys website. When I looked at the lens, I noticed that it didn’t have the etched “PRIZM P” in the lens. Overall they seem great quality and I know they are polarized. I can see the contrast enhancement so I think it has prism. Do you know why they don’t have the etched prizm p? Do you think they are authentic?
If you purchased them directly from Oakley.com they are authentic. Their optical lab seems to go through phases of lens etchings and it is not always consistent from what we have seen.
Real Oakley’s are the only way in the sun glasses world. but I wish y’all had more styles and brought back some of the old styles too and mixed it all and selled it all old tint colors in the lens too and different frame colors too .
For $200 I can buy at least 10 pair of the knockoffs in the last me for years and years and you can't tell the difference The store couldn't tell the difference when I show them they couldn't believe it
@@sportrxeyewear no worries, my only dilemma right now is deciding which Holbrook model to get! So I've watched way to many videos of yours in a row trying to decide. I think I need to try them on to really know
u 2 have me very worried. i just got my prescription oakley split shots with no box , no paperwork at all, no case, no fiber cloth and im not sure if these are real or not. obtained from local ''eye doctor'' anyone please chime in and let me know if ive been ripped off or not. many thanks for some help.
Hi there! If you send a few photos of the frames to info@sportrx.com an optician will review the images and get back to you with an answer regarding whether they appear to be knockoffs or authentic frames. 👍
I never had Oakley. I want to buy Deadbolt. I look the prices on Oakley page the are 350€, and i find on other for 200€. I order this for 200€ and they come only i karton box with the bag. Is that normal? No hard box. And i send they back. How i will know the are legit or not? Tnx
Hello! Most Oakley sunglass models come equipped with a microfiber bag that doubles as a cleaning cloth, but not a hard case. There are definitely some fake Oakley frames out there, but check out the link below for tips on how to spot the fakes! 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2dcBYCUFSOQ.html
It may be possible, though it's generally acknowledged that fake brand-name models are of lower quality in several ways compared to certified brand name frames. One example has to do with the bevel, which holds the lens in place. Warping can occur with fake frames due to their use of low-quality plastics and other materials. The result is lenses falling out the frame or the frame becoming damaged during the lens installation process. Food for thought. Hope this helps!
@@howtheheliru Some will depending on the quality of the replica. Not all Oakley frames are made in the USA so you end up having to do alittle research on each frame
Just got my pair of Holbrook XL customs and they just feel cheap no indicators on lenses for prizm P and no indicators on arms got em straight from website. Paid for the real deal 230.00+ and I feel jiffed
Hi there! If you like, send a few photos of your Holbrook XLs to info@sportrx.com and a licensed optician can review the images to determine if they're authentic!
