Why are Oakley Sunglasses so Great? - Part 1: Stress Test

[turtlewithwheels156]

1:13 "We've extended it to 6 feet to show how much we exceed expectation"

I thought the shades that broke were Oakley's at first lmao

[ohyeAmAn77]

what model where those Oakleys?

[Machinamonster]

Long live my eyes

[shadesemporium]

Oakley truly dominates the sports eyewear scene and for good reason.

[kevthevillain811]

These are why oakley are expensive

[ddell04]

WOW glad i got a pair. Oakley are the best in fashion and in strength. A+++++++++++

[layton115]

I like Oakley, but Revision eyewear also has a very high ANSI rating. The US army is standard issued the Revision Sawfly glasses, and they are amazing. Both glasses will protect your eyes though. I love Oakley and Revision as both are great.

[Taktical11]

Yes.. but will it blend?

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Does anyone know if Oakley makes sunglasses that go over prescription glasses?

[surrency1992]

@spacitydrummer4JC they do prescription lenses your local lensecrafters can help.

[xXBillDillXx]

Ok so oakleys can take a quarter inch ball bearing to the lenses at 163 kilometers from a distance of 8 inches, and a 500 mg pointed spike dropped from a height of 6 feet, but the question is, will it blend?

[themainlane]

so thats what super man wore to be shot in the eye

[htown77087]

SO are my oakleys bullet proof??

[azmirreader]

Actually I'm considering getting a pair of Oakley, their design is nice and they fit perfectly, but I read some complaints online about the coating peals off within first year and some spotting on the lens.

Is this true? I know there is a one year warranty, but what about after that?

If this is the case, then it wouldn't worth it paying extra for sunglasses that won't live past a year!

Any experienced opinion would be appreciated :-)

[lpfan5555]

@azmirreader Ive had a pair of oilrigs going on two years now, without any problems. I try not to go anywhere without them. They're the best sunglasses I've ever had! Worth the money, in my opinion.

[TheCoffeeNut711]

oh yeah will it deflect a 50 caliber?

[dani4wd]

is this apply to all oakley sunglasses ?

[baseballfreak611]

oh wat duh fuckk i didnt know this.... i just wear oakley sunglasses for swagggggggg.

[Sirhcmarak]

I was a manager for Hibbett Sports, and they gave us classes on every major brand we sold. Oakley was the one and only brand i truly felt wasn't a rip off. As for protection we had an Oakley rep bring a pair of glasses an Army Ranger had worn when his HumV was hit by an IED. The pictures showed that they stopped a 5 inch piece of steel from cutting through his face, the Oakley Radars stopped the 3 inches of the steel it covered and only left a minor cut on his cheek from the remaining 2.

[bassboy979]

t-pain's eyes are safe!

[stupidbahamut]

i want them to be bullet proof before i buy one

[stangGTKKK187]

how about u wear them sunglass and i shoot it with 44 mag revolver

[dvonlangen]

so my fuel cells can withstang this kind of impact?

[ryfiguy98]

I had some I got em for free but I lost em now I got zooyork shades

[ctjcclement]

isit for all types of oakley?

[vTylerRH]

The only way to prove that you're not bullshitting, is to do the tests while you are wearing them.

[TheT3nnis]

Will it blend??? That is the question.

[maxfromtheblock]

Thats what makes Oakleys sick!!!

[apiwatbob]

So they deserved for being the best eye protection on earth!!! well done...

[leonidas1491]

ppl dont think about impact protection cuz they dont get 5 inch spikes dropped on their face a lot

[leonidas1491]

1:16 ow. that was my fuckin eye u asshole

[Epicness271]

Hey guys I am trying to figure out something oakley or spy. Which do you think?

[chilean03n]

@Epicness271 oakley.. amazing glasses.. amazing lenses

[optical76]

if you're going to spend that money go with the costa's they have a lifetime warranty and their customer service blows away oakley.

[12345grandman]

I still think they're over priced...

[jmann807]

This doesn't make up for the fact that Oakley lenses still scratch like butter and make you look like you should be going fast but are actually standing still. Seriously unless you are under fire hoping that if you get shot it is in the eye and not the head, then you should just go buy some Maui Jim glasses and stay the hell out of the middle east.

[TheRageGhost]

I live In MEXICO, Will these protect me from high speed Bullets?

[amaro321]

Is this the same type of lens on my holbrooks? Its a chrome looking lens

[sandythebear]

Yay oakleys :)

[masonkimbell]

how can i tell if my oakleys are real or fake?

[theRDRman]

@masonkimbell look on the tips of the sunglasses on the foldable part. there should be 1 small oakley o in the inside of each. if so there real. if not there fake

[shankandbrisket]

Interesting but impact protection is not a selling point. Billions of people run around without any eye wear and the ones who do, apparently do fine without this kind of "protection".

[mufcrulesable]

uv ray protection is whats important and any cheaper sunglasses have full uv ray protection . i neevr were sunglasses and my eyes our fine like a huge spike is ever guna come down on me or a ball berring ? wtf kind of test is this. oakely is overpriced fshion

[grabbindraggon]

i have one set of eyes that wont be watching the rest of this video

[beeves100]

I thought the first ones he tested were oaklies and I'm like D:

[MrJoeMontano]

i should buy these sunglasses next time i get shot in the eye on Christmas day with that new bb gun i get! god i hope i get it!

[deadlykev]

now i can shoot someone in the head at not kill them

[number1airsoftsniper]

do all the oakleys come with those lenses

[ChickenHit]

@thetobyking only the plutonite lenses. when buying sunglasses just check that they have those lenses.

[TheTobyKing]

do all oakley glasses have these lenses?

[rodytoon]

Oakleys are awesome, I happened to be laying out in my yard with my Oakley's on and all of a sudden a 500MG Pointed spike fell from the sky right into my right eye, but Im completely fine because I had my Oakleys on and they blocked the impact, care ful out there, it could happen to you, get sum oakleys!

[Victortrotska]

@rodytoon Glad to know I was not the only one! It happend to me too right after some dude shot me with a 1/4" BB!

Thank God I was wearing my Oakleys!

[StarConflict]

i think my frames bent already. and 150 for sunglass es is a bit much

[RyantheDevourer]

no lifetime warranties, spread the word.

[jacquesmray]

Glad I'm a Oakley fan :) this info was reassuring to me that not only am i wearing them with style, but im protected from the suns harmful rays and brightness, and things flying at my eyes! :) Oakleys are worth buying..at least 1 pair.

[devonmale69]

I want protection from the sun, not bullets. There are to stop UV light NOT steel ahhhhhhh!!!

[jesse4848]

@devonmale69 but woulldnt you want your glasses to last long and not to break after a month

[devonmale69]

@jesse4848 No last a few mths for summer then new one next summer keep up with fashion .....

[jesse4848]

@devonmale69 oakleys are always in fashion... i have had half jackets for about 6 years now and they are still making them and people are still buying them

[JasonMCLOVINBourne]

i like his attitude

[Crayola6394]

I have the pair at 2:01 I keep em in my pocket and throw em around no scratches or scuffs and they are pretty a few years old.

[andrewcase22]

IN WHAT ENVIRONMENT WOULD A 500 MG POINTED SPIKE BE DROPPED FROM 6 FEET AT YOUR FACE?

[BIadeSnap]

@andrewcase22 in a factory =/

[YERMAWSGOTBAWS2]

@andrewcase22 put it this way, a policeman gets shot in the face, glasses would protect him :P

[skvoucher]

@andrewcase22 I dunno, but I was wearing my Oakleys when my 80 pound pit/boxer mutt jumped up with his mouth wide open trying to catch the same ball I was bending over to grab. Hurt really bad, but my lens only had a tiny dent in one corner that I don't even notice.

[Victortrotska]

@andrewcase22 Sleeping in the same house as your ex-girlfriend I'd say!

[wsvjr]

@andrewcase22 It is supposed to show how durable they are. Case in point hundreds of soldiers eyes have been saves due to their Oakley glasses/goggles blocking shrapnel and even bullets. In fact I know a police officer who was saved by his Oakleys'.

[1betterthanyou1]

@andrewcase22 tanning at a construction zone.



[rattoh]

@andrewcase22 biking and a car flings a fucking rock at your eyeball

[WoahMasterPK]

@andrewcase22 he is not saying that a 500MG pointed spike would be dropped on your face hes saying it can handle that... so if say some other type of thing hits your lens that your lens wont break because it can resist a 500 mg spike and whatever hit your lens was not even as bad as that...

your very simple minded lol

[graffkingsNBC]

@andrewcase22 its just a demonstration. calm down khaled.

[ramon12398]

@graffkingsNBC porra é foda a oakley

queria ser do eua

[vTylerRH]

@andrewcase22 You must not be living life to the fullest (:

[dvonlangen]

@andrewcase22 none, but a 500 G pointed spike is a totally different story.

[glod517]

@andrewcase22 A construction site.

[mholdr]

@andrewcase22

how about if you on a motorcycle and a car or truck kicks up something on the road?

how about if some drunk idiot throws something at you while you're not looking?

its a demo....and a damn good one!!

[Banita4life]

@mholdr u expect a fucking sunglasses to save you from these things ?!

[NaboAdv]

@andrewcase22 In a war enviroment, hahahah!

[TidalDeath808]

@andrewcase22 you would be surprised

[YouGame34]

@andrewcase22 Everyday all day

[soccerstar654]

@andrewcase22 haha haven't u seen the final destination movies? it could happen

[MrBraves251]

Ok, maybe you'll never experience a pointed spike falling on your face, but there is a reason why athletes like myself always go to Oakley. To me that spike represents a 90mph fastball going directly at my head. Not a good situation to begin with but at least I know my eye won't also be torn apart by a broken lens.

[101andrewj]

@MrBraves251 not just athletes, my friend wore oakleys on every combat mission he went on in afghanistan

[MrCaptainNObeard]

@andrewcase22 its a demonstration dude,it shows how tuff they are. and typing in all caps dose not make you cool

[derkgts10]

@andrewcase22 someone obviously hasn't watched the Christmas Story

[unkdoom]

@andrewcase22 ever see a carbide endmill shatter? yeah its about comparable to that

[unkdoom]

@andrewcase22 ever see a carbide endmill shatter? yeah its about comparable to that

[matthalo1224]

@andrewcase22 maybe the ice spikes that hang from the ceiling in ice caves and stuff like that. o_O but i really dont know???

[jaysong87]

I got my oakley radar path sunglasses from sunglass hut and it looks it comes with a carrying/cleaning bag with it? I didnt get it, is it suppose to come with it? or does the bag only come with it if you order them online from oakley????

[CObalt115]

What about the oil rigs

[jesa091]

nice video!



[donaldmakk]

@watchmojo. hey whats up? what kind of eyeglasses you have and what is the model?

[ThatGuyNamedPepsi]

F5 failed me ! T__T

[Paintballa4life96]

So I'm strolling along and some one drops a metal crayon on my face but thanx to these i was saved

[antondelorean]

those oakley lenses may be able to withstand those 500 gram spikes but just expose them to acid rain and your lens are done.

[DanW900]

What kind of Oakley's are those?

[hrtcfilmpje123]

Verry nice video!!! Thanks

[CObalt115]

do all oakleys. even the single lense. offer the same protection

[dwcfastrice]

@CObalt115 - yes. even more so. The M frame is/was pretty much the standard i military eyewear,

[jshawn777]

are the oakley crosshairs ballistic tested?

[liambod]

@jshawn777 yes, all oakleys 'ave same protection, I just got some crosshairs

[jshawn777]

@liambod so do you think i could use it for like sports?like shooting or airsoft?

[BDADY100]

@jshawn777 yes



[jshawn777]

@BDADY100 thanks

[dwcfastrice]

@jshawn777 yes. Flak jackets, m frames, etc. work well.

[dwcfastrice]

@jshawn777 - the lenses are tested. The wire frames are also tested, but are, when compared to the o-matter frames a bit weaker as the Oliminum (Aluminum blend) is a bit more flexible than O-matter (nylon based) material.

[jshawn777]

@dwcfastrice but i can still use it for airsoft right

[HoppyNinja]

Love Oakleys :)

[XDmattXD1]

is the protection the same with metal frames? specifically crosshair 2.0 frames?

[TAXCHEAT]

@khoihq.... I bet your mum and sisters oakleys are due for a change??

[thepackripper89]

i love oakleys i got 8 of their glasses

[aaronandhisdog]

my Oakley ducat edition scalpels are amazing.

I usually go through about a pair of sunglasses a week, but I've had my pallets for some six months now, and they just have a small scratch.( not even visible when wearing them)

I just got a pair of Oakley transistor reading glasses from the optometrist.

[morristhemoron]

this guy looks a little like Paul Kellerman from the show Prison Break. lol. btw, i caught my mom ordering a pair of Oakley Tightrope shades to give to me for christmas!!! they have a metal frame and the lens color is: ice/iridium color (light blue-ish). CAN'T WAIT TO GET THEM!!!!

[testdirver]

hey the model ice pick have this protection and how identify originals oakley

[KandiManRavr2k8]

8 people dont have oakleys.

[KidTravailler]

@KandiManRavr2k8 And why should I ? If they are hella expensive and do nothing...And by falling once, it totally crashes up !

[KidTravailler]

@KandiManRavr2k8 I had a pair, so this vid is BS !

[KandiManRavr2k8]

@KidTravailler but what about the SI M-Frame?

those look relly really sturdy,

[powers86rule]

@KandiManRavr2k8 9

[LegoBen]

So, These tests apply to all Oakley sunglasses? Or only certain models? I'd really like a nice pair of tough sunglasses, But I just want to make sure I get the right kind when I'm going to pay a lot of money for them

[Munkeyman131]

@LegoBen All Oakley sunglasses have the same ANSI impact rating

[splchief92]

@khoihq lol..

[justinkwl]

...of how strong these sunglasses really are.

You may think "when am I gonna ever have a 160mph metal ball shoot me in the eye". That's what I thought too initially, you'll never know when they protect you until really get hurt, like I did. Cheers.

[justinkwl]

Guys I have a pair of Oakleys and I use it for sailing.

A couple of months back I had a little accident involving the boom (the large metal pole) swinging right into my face due to a sudden change of wind direction (yes, I wasn't paying attention).

Busted my eyebrow right open, needed 4-5 stitches and had some minor fractures on my nose. I was wearing a pair of Oakley flak jackets though, it didn't shatter, didn't even get dented.

I'm not an Oakley-whore, but that incident really amazed me.

[McDrummerSLR]

I have two pairs of Gascans and I love them :D they are definitely indestructible, mine have been stepped on

[xXGreyWolf]

who the hell would want bullet proof sunglasses?...Oh yeah, Americans.

[DEACONAP4LOVE]

Nice to know that Im covered if someone happens to drop a 5 inch spike on me while I laying out getting a tan.

[dwcfastrice]

@DEACONAP4LOVE - that crayon is the gov't designed test for impact resistance. 

[DEACONAP4LOVE]

@dwcfastrice thanks for the input! Have a good one!

[MrHello12314]

@DEACONAP4LOVE you tan with sunglasses on then you can see were the glasses were

[beyoguz]

@DEACONAP4LOVE

LOL HEHE

[camo03]

@DEACONAP4LOVE They're just making sure that the glasses can protect your eyes.

[jaynr28]

@DEACONAP4LOVE i find myself in that situation all the time.

[Only1erin]

is anyone watchin this video with their oakleys on ??? :))

[PRODVDi]

So if I just happen to get hit by a sparrow while riding my bike my eyes would be fine.

[pspgod9999]

i have a question does this method work for all oakleys?

[MJBreeen]

Once you buy these can I take them to an optometrist and get prescription lenses put in? If so how much would that cost? I have to were glasses 24/7. Please rep

[DEACONAP4LOVE]

@MJBreeen $13,715

[clipintheak1]

and when am i going to have a 1/4'' ball bearing speeding at my face at 163 KMH?

[lobovds]

loko eim!!!!

[bmw739]

They might be durable, but I don't even want to think about scratches.

[laaxe]

I just bought a pair of Oakleys made from a Martian alloy called usodumuim. They're amazing!

Ask around, as they're pricey, & really hard to find!

[hyonjun]

I had a pair that broke right in the center of the earpiece :L not even at the joint. fell right off my head. didnt even have them a year. purchased from an oakley store. totally disappointed.

[SonSeelye]

@hyonjun all oakleys have a year warranty,return them before the year is up.

[12PaulJ]

I got mine Juliet X metal Ruby iridium, Man.. It looks Cool!!

[ghetoskaterkid]

oaks rule!

[BeavisButthead666]

Ive heard this song in so many places, what is it called?

[TwinTiB]

oakley ftw

[SuspectD3vice]

I would like to see the ball bearing test on a set of Oakleys, and a set of similar plastic lenses. The first test is bias, he is comparing glass lenses to plastic.

[zurg6]

Guy's, these frames are amazing! I just bought a pair the other day and upon checking out the employee was showing me how to change the lenses and once the lenses were out he took the frame and twisted it literally 180 degrees like he was wringing out a towel. I was like, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?! but he assured me that these frames are flexible and strong enough to handle it.

[AirborneRanger7194]

thumbs up if you have Oakley M frames , the best eye protection in the world

[15dylanh]

what kind of oakleys are those in the first demonstration?

[Kidoloqy]

anyone know if "oakley sideways" are good thinkin of buying thx:)

[mifan93]

gascans kinda hurt the tops of my ears, but thats me...

what makes them great is theyre made in the USA!!!

[thehondaballer88]

@mifan93 haha i noticed the same thing. the bottom of them rub or kinda bother the top of my ears lol. but theyre sexy as hell so i dont care lol. the polished ones arent as bad as the matte black. i have both and the polished are more comfortable

[PhillyPhlex]

Anybody want to sell a pair of Oakleys?

[JTFHiTmAn]

i am selling a pair of BRAND NEW polarized flak jackets on ebay for a GREAT PRICE just search 170530274841 on ebay.

[xTHExLONExGHOSTx]

[nintendowiirocks111]

everybody bitching about Bolle be quiet, if you hate oakleys so much then why did you watch the video?(just to be a hater?

[JIGSAWfromDM]

[wacothetaco]
