We unbox a custom pair of Oakley Sutro Sweeps. We have been riding with Oakley Sutro sunglasses for the past couple year while cycling, and I wanted to get some cycling glasses for an alternative look for this year. I was drawn to the Sutro Sweep sunglasses as the reminded me of the Oakley Eyeshades from the 1980's that were worn by American Cyclist and Tour de France winner Greg Lamond.

How do these compare with Pit Vipers?

[@JDirom]

Pit Vipers are more likely to get you mistaken as an F-150 owner

[@wattsupcycling]

oakley made a mistake of not putting rubber on the arms of the original sutro's. you have to rely on the rubber nose piece 100% because there's no grip on the arms, no idea why oakley didn't put it on the original sutro's, seems like an oversight.

[@JDirom]

I think you have a very valid point there. It would be nice to have that option at the very least to choose at this juncture. I think what happened as the originals were the first in the line, and that while somewhat touted as a lifestyle pair of sunglasses, it found itself very popular among cyclists (including myself), and other athletes. From feed back they changed the arms when they release the Sutro Lites, and then of course the Sweep which followed them both. For the exact reason you stated. Maybe it is time to swap some arms between pairs?

[@darinsteele7091]

@@JDirom it's possible to change the arms on them?

[@JDirom]

The arms are not intended to be changed, but it is just a snap in assembly. Friend had them pop out after a crash. Took some force to get them back in. Not sure how easy it would be to do, and would run the risk of damaging them. Also not sure if they assemble the same. I am just tempted to try. I have a clear frame coming so I will see how it looks when it arrives.

[@davidvaillancourt]

I read somewhere that the Oakley straight jacket sock kit can be added to the regular sutro arms and fits perfect. Hope that helps, i’d be curious to know myself.

[@JDirom]

@@davidvaillancourt we will have to check that out, thanks for the tip!
