Yeah Rob! I've been waitin' for a new vid from SportRX!

[@bigbadwolfholmez2164]

Good vid. My fuel cell are much more comfortable for my big head and the lighting is perfect

[@mrcrowley2737]

Thanks guys!

[@marioflores7778]

Wow... excellent video for sizing. Thankyou.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Thank you for commenting and the feedback! Were always striving to provide as much information as we can to help our customers pick the best sunglasses.

[@raziel5008]

hi is Grey Polarized mirror ?

[@ImN0tEvenHere]

It exists a Gascan with a 61 size? Or they all 60? Saw one with the us flag on a site and they say 61 size...maybe an error etom the site?

[@AforAlex95]

Thanks for explaining the difference

[@Paulloolliver]

Obrigado pela informação, e foi legal o tchau 👋 no final.

[@giovanisalinas33]

GREAT video!! My question is I bought the Oakley SI Ballistic Det Cord..Wich one of these 2 are similar in size since I want to change it up!..

[@sportrxeyewear]

Great question Giovani! Based on our SportRx Frame Width (SFW). the Det Cord sizes in with an SFW of 138, the Gascan has the same SFW at 138, while the Fuel Cell fit is a little smaller at 135. If you love the fit of the Det Cord, my suggestion would be to go with the Gascan. Hopefully this helps and we love that you want a variety of Oakley options🔥

[@jimmyzulu85]

I have the half jacket 2 xl but it feels a little loose on my head and it doesn't stay on very well. Also I need some more coverage from the lenses. Are these two tighter than the half jackets?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi Jimmy! These frame are larger than the Half Jacket 2.0 XL. If you need a slightly smaller frame with wrap you can always check out the Flak XS: www.sportrx.com/oakley-flak-xs.html or Fives Squared: www.sportrx.com/oakley-fives-squared.html

[@deputydanger8594]

Just ordered my first pair of Fuel Cells, Hopefully will be a good fit ( medium to large head ). Got them with Black Iridium Polarised lenses, Going for the Men In Black look....

[@deputydanger8594]

Update: Received them today and the fit is perfect, Absolutely stoked! First pair of glasses i've owned that don't squeeze my temples.

[@ricochetey]

​@Deputy Danger Nice I like that they block out the side sun. It's really a pain driving truck when the sun shines through the sides

[@korrupt4]

i was given a pair of fuel cells a couple years ago and now the lenses are all bubbly and scratched & i would like to change the lenses but i dont know what the original color is, i look online and i see about 10 different colors, mine look basic black. Is there a name for the color of the original fuel cell lenses?

[@sportrxeyewear]

It is likely you have PRIZM Black or even just Black Iridium. You can see a full review of PRIZM Black here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-black-polarized/

[@The_Hayseed]

I have a pair of gascan I just ordered fuel cell I hope I like them..

[@Biblicalgiants]

What kind of lens is on the Gascans? They looked yellow at first, then reddish.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hey Biblical! Thanks for reaching out to us. The lenses you see on the Oakley Gascan in the video is the Ruby Iridium lenses. I have attached a link so you can check them out on the website. www.sportrx.com/oakley-gascan.html

[@DJTORO9092]

Can either frame accommodate a prescription of: Sphere: Plano Cylinder: -4.25 Axis: 085?

[@sportrxeyewear]

That may be possible...contact one of our certified opticians to find out for sure! Be sure to have your Rx handy: www.sportrx.com/contact

[@Anthony-zw1qb]

My gascans have survived my 1yr old throwing them across the room. Oakley is life!

[@JamesEvans-uh7nu]

Andrew says the fuel cell is 135mm which translates to a medium large which is smaller than the gascan

[@williamclift3528]

I got the gas can but probably should have gone w fuel cell because of my big dome: any recommended methods for widening the temple to temple width?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Unfortunately, there is not a good method for widening the frame. One of the cool things about Oakley's O-Matter is that it will stand the test of time without losing its shape. The downside is that it means the material is pretty good at maintaining its shape even if you don't want it to. Perhaps it's time for a pair of Fuel Cells!? www.sportrx.com/oakley-fuel-cell.html

[@williamclift3528]

SportRx right on, I may be psyching myself out; the temples grab my skull gently enough. The polarized prizm lenses are an experience! I subscribed to the channel: thanks for the feedback and review

[@Deacon-ml4ic]

Love my Gascan

[@aynose]

just bought some gascans feel like the arms are tight and feels like they're floating over my nose bridge and eyes, does that means im more like a fuel cell? I cant find a video talking about how do i know the right fit. thanks

[@sportrxeyewear]

HI! Proper fit is defined or noted a few different ways depending on the head shape details of the wearer. If the bridge is not resting on your nose, then that suggests you may need a larger frame size. The Fuel Cell fits similarly to the Gascan but check out the Oakley Turbine as a slightly larger-fitting alternative 👉www.sportrx.com/oakley-turbine.html

[@caseygiron72]

Can gascan and fuel cell survive on bb’s test? I’m a collector of gascan and fuel cell, is prescription lenses for reading and driving is possible to made? For my gascan and fuel cell , because I also need it on my firing range

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi there! Are you referring to the high impact test that Oakley does at their lab? If so, then yes. We can also make custom rx lenses for for your Fuel Cell and Gascan! Grab a copy of your rx and contact one of our certified opticians for more information on how to get yourself a new set of lenses: www.sportrx.com/contact

[@jessemoreno169]

I would like to know on your opinion about ? Matte translucent blue prizm fuel cell. And what do you think about it can you let me know because I'm thinking about Buying a pair

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi Jesse! That sounds great! Love the color

Hello can you make video with Oakley Fuel Cell vs Oakley Turbine. Thank you

[@sportrxeyewear]

Great suggestion! We will take that into account for future video production.

[@williamemil3114]

If you have small head, is their an alternative to the gascan that are even smaller?

Both nice, but I absolutely love my fuel cells!

[@BullShark1579]

So the Radar Xs didn't fit me. Lol Oakley was nice enough to do a return/ Refund for me. But I can't figure out what I want. I have 2 batwolfa and 2 turbine Rotors. I kinda like the one lense instead of the two separate. So I'm still looking to see what's good. Rather have a new model then rebuy a batwolf or Turbine. I'm also looking to go all chrome if possible.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello! Here's a few Oakley single shield models with similar frame widths to that of the Batwolf & Turbine : 👉www.sportrx.com/oakley-evzero-blades.html 👉www.sportrx.com/oakley-sutro.html 👉www.sportrx.com/oakley-m2-frame-xl.html

[@viko4368]

I read both Gascan and Fuel Cell block peripheral vision some. Is that right?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi victor! Any frame that has wider temples will block out some peripheral vision. You can always check out the Drop Point if you need a full wrap with thinner temples: www.sportrx.com/oakley-drop-point.html Hope this helps!

[@viko4368]

@@sportrxeyewear Thank you!

[@viko4368]

@@sportrxeyewear Yeah, makes sense. BTW. Any idea where I ca get Gascans made in the USA?

[@BullShark1579]

How's the Radar Lock path? Looks like it's right up my alley. Only thing is I'm not sure what low bridge means. Can u please explain that??

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello! Low Bridge Fit (previously referred to as Asian Fit) was designed to provide a better fit for people with shallow nose bridges and high cheek bones who usually have trouble with glasses sliding down the face or resting on their cheeks. Associated features with LBF typically include a more substantial nosepad, wider profile, and shorter lens height. The Radar Lock Path is a great frame that suits many face shapes, not just those requiring LBF.

I ordered straightlinks and they’re too big. Would the fuel cell also be too big or do they fit better (tighter) than the straightlink?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi there! Both models are pretty similar in size. The Fuel Cell hugs the back of your head a bit more though.

[@benatallahyahya7787]

Amazing

[@briannuttall4315]

I have the fuel cells, howevrr when i wear them my head begins hurting around like behind my ears and a little above my ears after a few minutes would this just be from the frames being to small? It almost feels like i am beginning to get a migraine headache.

[@Bblock150]

yeah you should try oakley double edge theyll be way more comfortable. i have a huge head and fuel cells fit a litte tight but the double edge are perfect

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi Brian! It sounds like the frame are a bit small. The frame width of the Fuel cell is about 130mm and the frame width of the Double Edge is about 140mm. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you out with!

[@sportrxeyewear]

Perfectly said! Thanks for your insight!

[@andyrich2000]

Are these good for running?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hey Mr Crowley! Oakley has some bigger frames that should be able to help you out. Some of Oakley's bigger frames are the Fuel Cell, Turbine, and Twoface XL. I have attached links so you can check them out on the website. After clicking on a link make sure to check the bottom right of the landing page and it will have the frame measurements. This should help you get an accurate idea to how big each frame is. Please let us know if you have any more questions. Thanks for commenting! www.sportrx.com/oakley-fuel-cell.html www.sportrx.com/oakley-turbine.html www.sportrx.com/oakley-twoface-xl.html

[@mrcrowley2737]

What about double edge?

[@sportrxeyewear]

The Double Edge has a smaller frame width and may be to narrow on your face if you need extra large sunglasses. The frame width on the Double edge is 119 mm compared to the 136 mm for the Fuel Cell. The Double Edge has a more medium to large fit.

[@mrcrowley2737]

SportRx if the double edge has 66mm....how is the width only 119mm?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Mr Crowley You are correct. I went and remeasured the the Double Edge and it has a frame width of 141 mm not 119. Thank you for pointing that out! I have notified our Web team to correct our website. The Double Edge is one of the biggest frames Oakley offers and it provides great coverage.
