Oakley Frogskins Sunglasses - Black

I ordered prescription lenses and selected to match the original lenses, which were purple. The lenses I got were dark gray. Nothing even remotely resembling the original Oakley purple lenses. I was disappointed, and ultimately ended up buying the real Oakley prescription sunglasses from the Oakley website.

Bright and Happy Oakley color!

Love my Oakley sunglasses! The color is bright and happy.! The price was a killer however. I bought it as a backup pair to the ones I wear now for I have prescription lenses in it. Even though Oakley no longer makes this color I was able to revise the lenses thru Lense Crafters who works with Oakley a lot. Glad to have a backup pair. I would give up almost everything but my Oakleys!!

Fantastic!

Amazing sunglasses. My partner has a large head so glasses are often too small for him. These are XL and fit him really well. They're super comfortable. His favourite colour is purple and these were a perfect Christmas present. Great company to order from, fantastic prices and good, friendly communication too.

Frogskins with Prizm Lens

I haven't had Frogskins in many many years and wanted some everyday glasses with Prizm lenses. I have Prizm lenses in my bike glasses and they are incredible, making me want the Frogskins for every day.I've had these for about two weeks are really like them. Lots of compliments too. The glasses are very comfortable and the lens is excellent - very sharp colors & contrast and not too dark which I don't care for. Mine are polished black frames with the Black Prizm lenses which do have a slight reflectiveness to them, but not like other Oakley lenses where it's really pronounced. They are sized "XL" but they are still on the medium size in my opinion. Not as large as the other brands you are probably familiar with.Highly recommend!

Getting that new look

Saw the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals wearing these on television a few weeks back and they really grabbed my attention. I was looking for a pair of sunglasses for special occasions and I thought these would fit the bill. I was not disappointed. I had transition lenses installed. The price was not as bad as I thought. Very competitive actually. They turned out great and I am extremely pleased with my purchase and my new "look" for those times when I want to look especially sharp.

Good for everyday

Years ago, I purchased a pair of matte black Moonlighter sunglasses with the same color lens as these. Those glasses were recently destroyed and I have been on the hunt for a replacement pair. Apparently Moonlighters are no longer being produced? Anyway, I am a female with a small(er) head so its difficult to find sunglasses that don't take up my whole face. These are great. They're very light weight, comfortable, don't slide down my nose or raise up too much when I smile. And if I lean forward, they don't fall off. They aren't *exactly* like my beloved Moonlighters, but are great nonetheless.

I am glad I came back to these sunglasses

With the Base 4 lens geometry, the larger nose pad built into the frame, and the shortened temples, these sunglasses fit my noggin really well and complement my facial contours perfectly. The fit is so perfect that they do not slip down my nose even when I sweat.This is a far cry from the first pair of Frogskins I purchased in 1989, before they offered Asian Fit. I finally decided to give the Frogskins another try after 34 years, and I couldn't be happier with the fit.

No tears at high speed!

Here’s something people may not expect to know about Frogskins. My eyes have always teared up less with my Frogskins than any of my other Oakleys including M Frames with the big heaters lenses (both hinged and rigid frames), XL Jackets, Thumps, Gen 2 Frogskins, and other casuals. M Frames are perfect on mtb or road bike, but above about 40 mph, Frogskins out perform wrap around lenses. I think it’s the tighter fit around eyebrow/nose bridge/cheek that keeps air out. Goggles are my norm, but I’ve been skiing (fast) in Frogskins since 1988, especially in the spring. I miss the pre-helmet years wearing Frogskins with croakies and goggles backwards on headband. Sometimes a company’s first product is still their best. So glad you guys keep these in production.

Only ‘XL’ Frogskins are available for purchase.

The only size available for the Frogskins online was XL (55/17/139), but they didn’t make that clear when purchasing. So I had to return the glasses. I even went to check a couple stores around me that carried Oakley. They both only had XL Frogskins as well. Not sure why it’s so hard to find regular sized (55/17/133) Frogskins these days. Just a few years ago they were easy to find.

Reissue/Update of a Genuine Classic.

Let me start by saying that these were my favorite sunglasses in the 90s, and when I had LASIK surgery I was very stoked to find out that Oakley had reissued them.The Good: They seem to be even sturdier than the originals. The new Prism lenses are very clear and sharp. The overall profile of the sunglasses is similar to the original Frogskins. Oakley offers replacement lenses for these sunglasses.The Bad: They are not exactly the same in either shape or in size as the originals. The reissues are bigger both horizontally and vertically. This is why Oakley now offers what they call "Asian Profile" Frogskins. The "Asian Profile" is actually much closer to the original size of Frogskins from the 90s.On the whole, they seem to be very solidly built and the style is ... MoreLet me start by saying that these were my favorite sunglasses in the 90s, and when I had LASIK surgery I was very stoked to find out that Oakley had reissued them.The Good: They seem to be even sturdier than the originals.

They are very expensive, but the build quality is quite high, and when you factor in the replacement leses that are offered, I feel they are worth the money.
