How to choose the right Oakley glasses
Oakley glasses differ in frame shape, size, lens design and intended use. Sutro and Sutro Lite feature a wide, single-piece shield lens, Radar EV offers a sporty design with a wide field of view, while Encoder and Sphaera are designed for active sports. When choosing a pair, consider not only the style but also how the glasses fit your face and work with your cycling helmet.
Which Oakley lenses should you choose?
Prizm lenses are designed to enhance the perception of certain colours and contrasts. Photochromic lenses adjust their tint in response to UV radiation, making them a practical option for changing light conditions. Polarised lenses help reduce glare reflected from horizontal surfaces.
Also pay attention to the lens filter category. Category 3 lenses are generally suitable for bright sunlight, while lenses with higher light transmission are better suited to lower-light conditions.
Glasses size and fit
Oakley glasses should sit comfortably on your nose, without putting pressure on your temples, and remain secure during movement. Frame width and shape vary between models, and some are available in smaller sizes, such as Sutro S or Sutro Lite S. Use the size filter to narrow down your options, and if you plan to wear the glasses while cycling, check how well they fit with your helmet.
