Brief about Oakley:
Oakley sunglasses are always the brand meeting the today’s fashion and are highly functional. As one of the experts in the manufacture of sunglass, Oakley exactly knows the preference of the people for the glasses. Their glasses are made lightweight and not of metal which adds the weight causing discomfort. Oakley’s lens helps eyes to adapt to the changing light conditions also helping in filtering 100% UV by protecting the eyes. The new edition is the Oakley Men’s Oil Rig Sunglasses which is designed specifically for men and may not be a girl thing.
Quick view:
The Oakley Oil Rig Sunglass makes the wearer stand high amongst others. The sizes of this casual wear are designed perfect by the specialists to fit faces of any size right and also offer exceptional visual clarity.
Frame geometry and fit:
The unique three-point fit of the sunglass and the lens tints makes it a must have collection. The oil rig sunglass is made of frame that is lightweight for the users to get the maximum comfort out of it. The pair curves around the face and do not let the frames hanging out. The O matter frame material is durable yet stylish. The sculpturally engineered hinges with dual cam action are of steel holding the frame rigid giving a precise fit. No matter if the temple pads and nose pads are not provided as still the glass stays on the head without sliding even when looking down. The sunglass is stress-resistant, impact-resistant meeting the ANSI Z87.1 standards and gives a cool look on the wearer.
Lens type:
Oakley is one of the best producers of polarised sunglass lenses. This sunglass carries a single continuous lens across the frame while the lens maintains a good and clear view throughout the entire curve. High Definition Optics (HDO) takes advantage of Polaris Ellipsoid lens geometry to maintain clarity and the Plutonite (polycarbonate) lens material provides good optimal coverage by filtering every single UVA / UVB / UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm even when hanging out directly under sun. Also the optional Iridium lens coating is available that helps in the reduction of glare and balance the light transmissions.
Lens tints/Colours:
Various lens options are available including the Iridium lens coating as mentioned above. Unlike other polarised lens, the Oakley’s lens removes 99% glare without a haze leading to any optical distortion. To obtain the best virtual contrast, a number of lens colours are there for choosing the best of all. The Oil Rig – polished Black/ Warm Grey, Black/ Silver ghost, White, Brown Smoke/ Tungsten Iridium and Matte Black. The Warm Grey, Black Iridium or Grey Polarized lens are the ones for true colour perception in a bright sunny day while the Grey lens is optimized for medium-bright sun and for depth perception in bright sun is the Tungsten Iridium or Bronze Polarized lens that one could go for.
Available Accessories:
The eye wear may be prone to dirt or any dust causing disturbance in the clarity which can be cleaned with the pump atomizer delivering a solution for cleaning without affecting the lens coating. A large vault along with a steak – free cloth is the best alternative to keep the glass safe after use. These accessories have to be purchased additionally and are not included with the sunglass.
Oil Rig’s warranty details:
The Men’s Oil Rig eyewear carries a 1 year warranty given by the manufacturer from the date of purchase against any manufacturing defects. The warranty can be availed only with the proper proof of purchase from the authorised dealer and the company does not take up the responsibility if the lenses are scratched.

On misty days, the eyewear fogs up which could be a little disappointing. However, it is reasonably priced and worth boasting the masculinity with this men’s Oil Rig sunglass on.
