OakleyMen's Oo9102 Holbrook Polarized Square Sunglasses

First, I apologize for the length of this review but I just have to explain how incredible these glasses are and why. I bought the Holbrook Ruby Prizm Polarized and the very second I put them on my entire world changed. I have been totally and completely color blind my entire life and the only colors I have ever been able to identify are bright yellow and bright orange. All other dark colors are simply deeper or lighter shades of black or dark blue, or dark green or dark brown. They're all the same to me. Pastels are nothing more than lighter shades of the above colors. Traffic lights are the same color to me except that I know that green is a lighter shade than red. A few years ago my wife and I drove over 90 miles to get to a glasses shop which claimed to sell sunglasses that permitted color blind people like me to distinguish different colors from one another. They cost almost $1,000 and after trying then for 30 or so minutes they did absolutely nothing so we drove home.All the above said the moment I put on these Oakley's. it was as though the entire world came to life. I still had no idea what colors I was seeing but I was seeing a huge variety of colors that I had never before seen in my life With my wife's help identifying what colors I was seeing I could see different colors rather than darker and lighter shades of blacks, browns, greens and browns. I could tell the differences between pastel colors even though I had no idea what colors they were as I had never seen them before. I am NOT saying these sunglasses in anyway cure color blindness. But I am stating emphatically that the Prizm lenses are no marketing ploy. I am stating that they bring a world of crystal clear colors in a wide spectrum. I love them so much I ordered another pair of custom made glasses from Oakley direct this very morning but this time with light grey Prizm, polarized lenses Are these glasses worth the price? TEN TIMES over and it's not possible for me to rate them high enough.

My husband bought a pair of these a couple years ago (red and black polarized) and he LOVED them! Unfortunately his car was stolen recently and the glasses were in them. He liked them so much that he bought the same pair again, this time in blue and they're still just as great as before. This is a nice departure from Oakley's usual look. These are very understated but cool and my husband has a wide head and is sensitive to sunglasses pinching his noggin. These don't pinch at all and he says they're super comfortable. I think they look great and they're is favorite sunglasses. Worth the price to get a really good pair.

Very nice sunglasses...very lightweight and they are definitely genuine oakleys...i like how they are putting the USA on the earpiece so you know you are not getting some China Rip off! When buying these sunglasses i would never buy from any seller other than Amazon because i simply do not trust other sellers because of past issues of not being "Authentic". This is a big deal to me cheap lenses give me enormous headaches and I drive alot in my line of work...these Polarized sunglasses take away most of the road glare and make a bright day very easy on your eyes...also I love the Holbrook style it fits my face well. 5 stars!!!!!

I’ve used Oakley’s for years and was super excited to try the new Prizm lenses. I love the frame, lightweight, covers my eyes well, looks good, and not too tight. Some past models usually hurt behind my ears after awhile not these. Second, I was blown away by the Prizm lenses. While taking them off and on all the bright areas around me are darkened and colors seem to pop!! It’s pretty remarkable. I tried to show thru my phone camera what I mean. It’s so cool to see the asphalt darkened but the greens of grass still. I LOVE these!!

So I had these same sunglasses and lost them last year due to them flying out the side of my Jeep and getting run over by other cars. I could not stop thinking about these sunglasses for the past 10-12 months because of how amazing they are. The prizim lens is amazing and I went through about 6 other pairs of sunglasses from other companies, but these are the clear winner. I broke down and bought another pair and soooooo glad I did!

Bought these mainly for driving and possibly golf. I have worn them while driving and so far love them. Excellent clarity !! Very light so no problems wearing for long periods of time. I haven't tried these for golf yet. I've had a problem seeing the ball on drives any time I've had sun glasses on so I just don't wear them on the course. I have not been on the golf course yet this spring because our weather has been bad this year but hope to try these soon. The glasses are pricey but I do recommend them as the quality is worth it.

I don’t like spending this kind of money on glasses I can easily lose or destroy while fishing. I would say these are probably worth it. They are very comfortable, nice clarity, very light, not much fogging. We will see how long they last.

Love the look of the wood grain, they fit great even on my big head. They don't feel like the squeeze behind my ears like some sunglasses, which ends up giving me a headache.I had Hobie Mojo Woodgrains before this, which I liked but were stolen, and I can't find them anymore. These are much lighter than the Mojos (Not sure if that's good or bad, but you don't feel them on as much which is nice.)This is my first foray int the Prizm lens, I've always got polarized from other manufacturers though. I have to say the Prizm Daily Polarized lens is great. It doesn't darken everything so much like usual shades with polarization, it somehow brings down the brights while keeping detail in shadows intact. Your eyes can be seen through them, which doesn't matter to me but if you're using them for poker or something it might to you.

I bought the Holbrook with Ruby Prizm polarised lenses. I've watched all the videos online of people raving about them, but dismissed it as mostly marketing hype as most of those "reviewers" were people selling them and repeating the talking points Oakley's sales team gave them.I liked the look of them and fancied trying a nice pair of sunglasses for once in my life though. This site had them for £50 less than direct from Oakley and far less than I pay for Specs, so I took a punt.As soon as I put them on I was really impressed. Rather than just "turning the lights down" like most glasses do, these did enhance contrast and seemed to blow up the greens. On a late and sunny May day it looked awesome.I really like these glasses as I find those that "turn the lights down" can make me feel a bit cold and depressed when the clouds cover the sun, whereas these work just great as sunglasses, and do greatly reduce the brightness, but crucially they don't make everything too dark.The frames feel good quality too and I have had Oakley spectacles before and they were bullet proof and last donkeys years. Eventually the prescription went out after a decade or so, but whilst they were no longer useful from a lens perspective, the Oakley frames were still A1 condition.As for VFM, that's a tough one. We all know these cost a fraction of the price to make so they are selling at a massive markup. You pay for the name. You can buy no-name Chinese imports from Amazon for £15 (I have a few pairs) and they do the job really well. Some people report coatings coming off the lenses of those cheap ones though and that doesn't happen with Oakley.So I give them 5/5 overall, but the VFM can only be a 3/5. That's a personal thing though. If mine were stolen tomorrow, I'd buy another pair. Make of that what you will.

Great sunglasses for lots of use. They do not comply with road use regulations though but I have no idea why as colours are more vibrant and contrast is improved. The polarising lens is effective. I bought them purely because I noticed a sight anomaly and I didn't want to take a chance on alternatives.They grip the side of the head securely and are both comfortable and well made. However, there is no spring on the arms to permit accidental opening more than 90 degrees. They feel reasonably sturdy yet are light weight. I expect many years of use from them.Are they really worth it? Not really. The price is probably mostly for the name though as a back to back comparison against Polaroid glasses and cheaper Q-Queen glasses indicated Oakley are a little better but they are the innovator in prismatic colouring. The Prizm makes colours more vivid and richer. I'd check the Oakley website though as I'd have saved £50 as I bought from Vistaexpert but prices seem to change or may that was a Brexit thing. Nonetheless, look at the Oakley website to ensure the correct choice is made as Prizm is only available with some lenses.

Great sunglasses! The fit is perfect for an average sized face and they look great.The green lenses are also really comfortable to wear for long periods. They are very light, and therefore very comfortable, they sit on the face perfectly, with no pressure areas.I would say my face is small / medium and they're perfect.Recommended!

Love these sunglasses - they fit well, are made well and the lenses are a very cool orange / red colour. They are a more chunky than RayBan WayFarers which I also have a pair of but I find them somewhat flimsy. These Oakleys have a thicker, stronger frame and a more squared lens shape - I think it fits a masculine face better.
