Oakley Holbrook Metal Prizm Grey Sunglasses Black

These frames are very poorly designed. The metallic stems have a plastic sheath on the lower part, that is supposed to rest on the ears. While the frame fit is alright, the stems are “pointier” than required and irritate the ears. Oakley has done a poor job with fitting the lenses, which shake in their socket. I have no complaints about the lens quality or their functioning, and they are probably the best that you can get in the market. However, at the price I paid for these, the quality of the frames is absolute trash and I am extremely disappointed with my purchase.

While the order itself was full of issues and frustrations getting it placed, getting it confirmed, and getting it delivered - every Oakley rep I spoke to was pleasant, nice, and professional. To the point it made it difficult for me to be upset for all the unnecessary delays. In fact I thought the order was to the point it would not be filled, and I started shopping for these elsewhere. Then out of no where I got a shipping notification that they shipped. I already own a set of the Holbrook Metals - so I knew I would love the glasses themselves. I just wanted a pair with my prescription in them. WOW is all I can say. This is also my first pair of Oakley with the Prizm lenses. Double WOW. The color contrast and clarity are hard to believe and I will never own ... MoreWhile the order itself was full of issues and frustrations getting it placed, getting it confirmed, and getting it delivered - every Oakley rep I spoke to was pleasant, nice, and professional.

The color contrast and clarity are hard to believe and I will never own another pair of Oakley without Prizm lenses. Well worth the upgrade. The RX is spot on and being able to see perfectly with my sun glasses on and having the no-glare and color contrast is unbelievable. My GF is already sick of watching me take them on and off looking at things trying to believe the color & clarity! =)WELL worth the frustration and wait - I will never leave home without these and even as expensive as they are - I am considering another pair for my other car! THANK YOU Oakley for allow me to avoid the Sun AND see at the same time!

This is a bit of a compromise product. I wanted polarized but it's not available for metal (at time of purchase) and it's not available for customization.The plastic frames felt more comfortable but I am relegated to metal because of the adjustable nosepads; the fixed nose on plastic Holbrook frames does not fit everyone. Plastic is lighter whereas the metal, in conjunction with this style of nosepad, will leave a mark and have you feeling its presence after a while.Some suggestions for Oakley to cover more customers:- make the polarized lenses available in any frame- for the plastic frames, allow replaceable rubber nosepads *IN DIFFERENT SIZES* please!- the 4 corner dots should have the same color as the oval O logoSo why did I compromise? I like the ... MoreThis is a bit of a compromise product.

I like the Prizm Ruby's color rendition. Greens pop instead of dim and hazes get clarified a lot for better depth perception. When driving, I switch to a pair of polarized shades for better glare reduction.
