Oakley Mens Oil Rig Sunglasses

Product Review

Just because you were sent from the future to spoil the planet-choking effects of the oil industry doesn't mean you can't have sunglasses that fit your futuristic sense of style. The polarized Oakley Oil Rig Sunglasses help you blend in with the modern big-industry types while blocking your highly evolved eyes from the bright twenty-first century sun. A single, wide UV-blocking lens provides exceptional coverage for your sensitive eyes, and provides great coverage for your medium-to-large face. Plus, its durable, angular frame clutches your face and ensures maximum optics at all angles, so you can keep an eye out as you wire the computer system to stop drilling and drive the oil back into the Earth.

Amazon.com Product Review

The latest edition of the Oil Rig comes with redesigned stem architecture that puts the icon of innovation in the crosshairs of dimensional grooves. Art meets attitude in a style that carries a single continuous lens across contours of lightweight O Matter frame material. Oakley uniquely curves the frame so even medium-size faces get a precise fit that doesn’t stick out at the sides. The sculpturally integrated hinges are engineered with dual cam action, and the linear ear stems provide a comfortably secure grip. High Definition Optics (HDO®) takes advantage of Polaric Ellipsoid lens geometry to maintain clarity while curving the lenses for optimal side protection and extended peripheral view. The Plutonite lens material filters out every ray of UV, and both impact protection and optical precision meet ANSI Z87.1 standards.

Nice Oakley Sunglasses, May 26, 2010

This review is from: Oakley Men's Oil Rig Sunglasses (Eyewear)

Purchased this item through Amazon. The product reached me in their Standard Box Packaging with a Brown Micro Bag. I always prefer my Sunglasses in Matte Black Finish. This is my second Oakley sunglass. The other one I have is the Oakley Probation. The Oil Rig is certainly suitable for Medium to large faces, mine being the latter. In addition to this I also purchased separately an Oakley Carbon Vault Case (Large) which in one word is Awesome. Only problem I have with the Oil Rig is that sometimes while folding in the handles they make a squeaking noise of plastic rubbing on plastic. Other than that I like the Oil Rig a lot. Wish Oakley would provide us with the Large Soft Vault Case free of cost.

Fat Face? Buy These, December 5, 2010

These are one of the very few sunglasses styles that look great on large faces. Even if you consider yourself fat, these might just make you look badass enough to not care. Seriously cool looking. Not recommended if your overall style is conservative and meek. These are manly, bold, modern, and aggressive shades.
Quality is acceptable, fairly decent plastic material. You can snap the hinges on and off if you want which tends to reduce breakage. Still just plastic though so don't go crazy throwing them at people or whatnot.
Summary: large faces - buy Oakley Oil Rig or Oil Drum.
