Spotting Fake Oakley Sunglasses: Sutro 

Every time I spend a lot of money on an item and get to feeling really good about having it something goes wrong. Glasses always get dropped and scratched. Jerseys and bibs get ruined it the wash. White cycling shoes or bar tape get nasty the second or third use. So can you understand why I don't want to spend a lot of money anymore? We all want to look good cycling but most of us can't afford to. Why does a real pair of Oakley or Rudy or any other brand of glasses have to cost almost $300 when it's just mostly plastic? The tech put in to Prizim has been out many years now and the price should be lowered. I have no problem buying copies from China if they seem like quality products.

thank you, very useful video. all indicators are spot on!

Got a pair on offer up and well thanks to this vid I was able to basically ask for my refund instantly…. Thank you!

Got a fake pair of Oakley Encoder recently. A lot of the same fake qualities as the Sutro. Glad I'm covered by the Ebay money back guarantee.

at first I thought about buying the fake ones because of the look , but I thought about it again and I like the tech so I will be buying the real ones

Thanks for the great video

Unfortunately the previous link and their contact information I had is no longer working so I can no longer pass along information regarding the seller I purchased from on Ali express... You can try to search for them using "sutro sunglasses" and look under reviews for photos (many look similar to the ones posted in my video). You can also contact the seller to ask if they have the "logos" and photos as they won't post photos taken with them on Ali express. Hope this helps!

I bought mine off zalando when they were 60% off and it says Oakley in the middle and on the sides so is there any chance that they are fake?

Any other place than ebay or etsy to find an authenitc pair of vintage Oakley Sutro sunglasses?

Is the serial number etched in or just printed where it fades from putting on and off?

Thank you for the nice comparison. Thumbs up! and the PRISM writing is further away from the frame on the fake one. This is what I've noticed straight away.

Ive had real $300.00 Oakley 's and fake $.40.00 ones. They both did the job,nothing more nothing less. If you want to spend a fortune, go for it.

This is why I only like buying expensive sunglasses at a store. The bike/running shop I just bought my sutros at even gave me a 10% discount because I got the display pair out on the case, and there was the slightest scratch on them, which was really just a slight smudge that I was able to clean off with soap and water.

i just bought one in MBK Bangkok , now it has a serial number BUT there is a screw showing up along the joints… its so hard to tell… except that the screws on the arms are quite visible

Amigo disculpe tengo unos oakley y dicen oakley 11.0 pero en UK son 10 que talla vienen siendo?

I recently bought a pair and the serial number is under the arm can anyone verify if real or fake?

Are the prism stickers noticeably different on fakesv

Can you give me the link of the fake sunglasses ?

I recently bought a pair and the serial number is actually under the arm? Real or fake?

You compared all of these differences between the two but didn't even mention anything about the most important difference between them - the lens quality. The lens in the fake pair is nowhere near the same quality as the real ones.

I just got a fake pair advertised as authentic. They were a gift for my nephew and I was so disappointed after giving them to him. Their boxes have improved since this video but immediately after getting them out I could tell they were junk. I’ve had many Oakley sunglasses and the quality is no comparison.

can you put a real lens into a fake frame?

lets be real, they all designed in US. but manufactured in china. The only difference is whether the factory get the contract or not.

Link to the fake ones ?

I've got a pair of real and fake Corridor's. Virtually identical! Lenses are great on both....fakes were a fraction of the price. Wish I could return the real ones and get a refund!

Link to fake ones ??

Ah man I got a fake one I mean what did I expect I paid 85$

I Like fake ❤️

Should only buy Oakley's from Oakley store

I got a pair of fake sutros because I’m not spending $150 on a pair of “real” glasses.

I like whit

They stole the name from the Sutro brand that was from San Francisco.

Lol to be honest I am more convinced to get the fakes. Comes with a cleaning cloth and extra lenses. Lol wtf Oakley.

Buy a fake frame and a real lens

Yeah I'll stick with the fakes free lenses and you'll not know the difference u less your an oakley fanboy
