Oakley Men's Whisker Sunglasses

I originally got these glasses with Rx lenses back in 2006. I thoroughly enjoyed them right up until I lost them this past summer :(. Luckily, I was able to find them cheap on Amazon (I no longer need Rx, so the Oakley lenses suffice for me now).I have a round face, so the aviator style of glasses don't work for me, they end up covering half my face and look silly. The Oakley Whiskers however are a more streamlined wrap around design and compliment my facial features nicely. I've received many compliments wearing them.Functionally, they are awesome. Blocks out sunlight effectively, and they stay put when I'm wearing them even while playing sand volleyball. They are pretty rugged for a metal frame, but also look very stylish for when I'm not playing sports and am dressed to impress. My only complaint is that Oakley appears to be phasing these out; in 2006 there were several lens and frame color options. Today there is only one lens option, and I think 2 frame colors (black or pewter). Hopefully I won't lose this pair, though I am considering ordering a back up now just in case they do go out of production.I've heard/read other reviews stating that these are a bit on the small side, however as stated above I do have a small face so these fit me perfect. Another friend of mine (with a "normal" sized face, lol) also had a pair of Oakley Whiskers and they fit and looked good on him too.

No question Oakley has an excellent product. They price on brand and they are not the best for the price. I'm not being critical (well, yes I guess I am), I have 3 pair, but I have others as superior for far less price. My single most irritating issues is that they don't offer DOD civilians working in war zones any significant discounted prices. Many fine companies do and many (including Starbucks) offer free product. Yes, Oakley offers a military line at a discount, but they are far inferior to the consumer brands, so they aren't offering the military and their support any value. Save money, get another pair of fine polarized sunglasses. Oakley is a name only. Look at their Kitchen Sink Back Pack for $200. Are you kidding me? Twice the price at half the value. The next thing they will sell is high end women shoes!

This is my second pair of "Whiskers" sunglasses from Oakley. My first pair gave me 4 years of year round, hard usage, had been sent back for a bent frame (my fault) once and several pairs of new lenses. Finally lost the original pair in the Atlantic Ocean ...... I ordered these from Amazon after calling and consulting with Oakley directly. I was advised by the salesperson @ Oakley that as long as the Whiskers were "fulfilled by Amazon" (and "not some mom & pop store") that they should be legit. So, I went ahead and ordered them. Upon arrival, I too found that the inside temple was marked "CHINA". So, again I called Oakley. I was advised by the salesperson @ Oakley that they do indeed have some of their products made outside of the USA, and Whiskers are made in China. He stated that it was a misconception that all Oakley products are USA made. I was able to register my Whiskers on Oakley.com, and now the warranty is extended to 2 years.Going back to the sunglasses themselves, these are a low profile pair of sunglasses. They sit close to the face with a slight "wrap" design to the lenses, allowing for a close fit, decreasing sun "leaking" in around the edges. I purchased the black frames with the black "iridium" lenses. I personally do not like polarized lenses because of the effect polarization has on the true color of things (especially the blue/green spectrum - seems to make things appear unnaturally bright to me, and definitely changes the color saturation). So, since I prefer a very dark lens which does NOT alter the reality of the colors in nature, these are perfect for me. These lenses are great for anywhere where light reflection/glare is an issue (water, snow, etc.). I get headaches from too much glare, and these glasses with the iridium lenses never let me down. I find them very comfortable, allowing me to wear them for many hours at a time. The only "negative" might be, that I personally would not wear these for any kind of sport; while they have high quality, impact resistant lenses, the frames are not designed to take a beating. As a parting comment, I am a woman, and I prefer the style of these glasses over the huge, "Jackie O", rhinestone encrusted style sunglasses that are so common for women. These fit my angular face very well, and they fit like a glove, never slipping off of my nose.

I admit, I have a rather large head/face. Most Oakleys do not fit properly. They are either too small or angled in a way where they sit uncomfortably on my face. Not with these. These fit perfect out of the box with no adjustments. Perfect size, perfect coverage. I only wish they were a bit darker. You can't see my eyes with them on, but they are no where near as dark as my old school Gargoyles. They are very lightweight. The special ear rubbers are super sticky...a bit irritating to my shaved scalp, but I know that once they are on, they are not going anywhere. I would highly recommend these to anyone with a rather large head looking for a quality pair of sunglasses. Plus there are a couple companies that make aftermarket replacement lenses for a fraction of the cost of new Oakley lenses. I only wish they were available at this price with the polarized black iridium lenses!

I work as a pilot and these are my go-to sunglasses. Non-polarized is a must for me and these do the trick. Misplaced my first pair after about a year of use and after looking around for better, came back here to buy a second pair. These sunglasses look and fit great and meet all of my needs. First pair showed almost no wear and tear even after a year of frequent use and jostling around the suitcase, well built. Six months into the new pair and so far this holds true. Strongly recommended.

Sehr gute Brille, vor allem, wenn man sich auf dem Wasser oder in deren Nähe sich bewegt. Die Reflexionen sind auf Grund der sehr wirksamen Polasiation nicht mehr stöhrend. Verarbeitung und Kratzfestigkeit sind super.

tolle Brille, sehr gute Qualität, sehr schnelle Lieferung, meines Erachtens super Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis! kann ich nur empfehlen (ist auch schon das zweite mal dass ich diese Brille kaufe)
