Finally putting sunglasses on reviewers face video, this is always missing, which we never understood. Great!

I just got some sutro s for Christmas and I thought they were normal size so I went to this video and it explained why the felt small. And I went and returned them and ended up with sutro light

[@sportrxeyewear]

Awesome! Sounds like you got exactly what you needed!

[@patbroe9186]

I use the Flak 2.0 and it fits me perfectly. Which Sutro model should I choose for my head?

[@mathiaslyberis2705]

Hi dude. I need to buy a pair of sutro for enduro biking. First of all what model do you recommend? The classic one or the lite one? Is the classic one more resistant and durable? And what prizm lens? What’s the best for mountain biking? I want one that hides the eyes

[@andyjame2978]

Easy peasy- and it works!!

[@enriquehernandez5947]

I like the Sutro Lite for golf

[@mironlipp8479]

How long does Oakley usually take to release replacement lenses for new glasses? I want to get the Sutro Lite but need a low light/ clear lens. Is there any way the Sutro lenses fit the Sutro lite?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Unfortunately Sutro lenses will not fit on the Sutro Lite. Oakley typically releases replacement lenses a few months after a new product release.

[@valkoshka]

Questions about sizing: 1) Will Oakley produce a Sutro Lite Small?? I just ordered the Lite because it is currently marked as size "medium" on the Oakley webstore, and measured as 133, but here you say it's the same as the original at 139. I really want the grip on the arm and frameless design, but smaller. 2) How are the Sutro (and other curved frames) usually measured -- straight across, or with the curve (how should I lay the measuring tape -- I was thinking straight across would make more sense in terms of deciding how the frame will actually fit one's face width, but how is it usually done, for example the sizes you're giving here?) thanks again!! :)

[@1111italia1111]

[@applesforakbar]

Would prism help specifically seeing tennis balls or would it mute them out? And is there a colour lens you'd recommend for tennis? And do they distort things like depth of field at all? Thank you!

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi Akbar! Oakley's Prizm lineup has a lens for just about every sport & activity. For tennis, you do not want to select a polarized lens as this can potentially affect depth perception. The most effective lenses for tracking & spotting a tennis ball are Prizm Field, Trail, or Tungsten. Hope this helps!

[@llltdhn]

Is there a Oakley Sutro Lite “S“ ?

[@WesternRAM]

Thinking of getting the sutra S... which lens would be best for outside construction work year round?? Live in PA so we go through all the seasons!

[@sportrxeyewear]

Go for the Prizm Sapphire! It might be a bit dark on overcast days, but that Prizm enhancement makes them way better than your typical grey sunglass lens. You can’t go wrong!

[@WesternRAM]

@@sportrxeyewear okay... would you say prizm sapphire would be even better then prizm black road for construction?

[@samuellambert8919]

do sutro glasses fit with sutro lite?

[@onel810]

What's the difference between Prizm Road and Prizm Iridium?

[@bobby1kenobi34]

I am pretty hyped bout the standard Sutros and main reason bout planning buying them is mostly for snowboarding and hiking as replacement of my loved Line miners... So my questions is focused on the lenses - are they the same as the snowboard goggles, the Prizm technology is it good enough to see the snow lines easily?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi there! Many of the Sutro lenses come with a rose base lens, which is one of the better tint colors when it comes to highlighting snow terrain. This is the main tint used for most of Oakley's goggle lenses as well. Many of the lens options have different VLT levels. Depending on the conditions you ride, you may want a lens with a higher, mid, or low vlt rating. Check out the Prizm 24K (bronze base), Prizm Field, and Prizm Road as viable options for the snow!

[@hooperkelly-smith5642]

I often doing rowing, i know there isn't a polarised lense, which lens would you recommend for the water sport of rowing?

[@sportrxeyewear]

There is PRIZM Deep Water polarized! I think that would work very well for you but you can also scope out PRIZM Shallow Water polarized too. Here is a comparison review: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-deep-water-vs-shallow-water-lens-review/

Can the Sutros be used for baseball? I customized mine a while ago and bought them with a Blue and purple lens, can they be used for Baseball?

[@YaBoyFish27]

Nope not allowed

Thanks!

[@jonathansolis2997]

Can you guys do a prescription lens for them? Seeing that Oakley can’t, I’m trying to find somewhere to get inserts or prescription lenses for them

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello! Unfortunately, there is no insert or Rx option for the Sutro series at this time. Sorry bout that!

[@Tysonnguyen808]

I wonder why Oakley don’t make polarized lens for the Sutro’s. That’s the only thing keeping me back from ordering one.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi VuDoo! The Sutro was designed for athletes who typically don't benefit from polarization such as cyclists, runners, and baseball players. For this reason, they don't make a polarized lens option for the Sutro frame.

[@Tysonnguyen808]

@@sportrxeyewear thx for the reply. Hopefully Oakley changes their mind since many are using Sutros as casual shades.

Question: Are the nose pads on all 3 models (Original, Lite, and S) interchangeable?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi Andrew! Yes, the nosepads on all three models feature that Unobtainium saddle bridge which is interchangeable.

[@heiko6376]

Can I use Sutro-Lite textured temples on a Sutro S? Will the fit of the S still be tight as before? Are those temples available? Thank you.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi there! The temples are not available as a replacement part yet...Not sure if they ever will be. The grip on the Sutro Lite is embedded into the frame so it would be hard if not impossible to remove the grip and add it to another frame.

[@TheTiminator666]

@@sportrxeyewear is it just me or did my sutro lites not come with the textured temples?

[@balazsszalacsi4440]

Are their replacement lenses for the sutro s? I wanted to get the gold 24k lens for the sutro s

[@LifeAsDane]

I think the 24k is only on the Asian fit version of regular sutro

Hi there! No replacement lenses yet since it is so new. Oakley typically waits a few months after the release to introduce spare lenses.

Good night, I like a lot the information you post in this videos. I have question, i consider that my face size are from men medium-small so i whatch in amazon a post that said this "Oakley Sutro (Asia fit)", my question is, this sutro asia fit is like sutro s? grettings from México city.

[@sportrxeyewear]

No, They are different sizes. The Asian fit will help the frame sit higher on your nose so your cheeks do not hit lenses. The Sutro S is just a smaller version of the Sutro!

Sutro lite = the old school blade, which I still have and wear (7/10 lens quality). Unfortunately, multiple ear stem replacements

The Blades are iconic! It is known that the temples from that original frame will lose strength over time and crack but Oakley's Omatter frame material has only gotten better and more resistant to such problems over time!

[@PaddleLifeWesternAustralia]

Guessing the Sutro and Sutro Lite lenses are the same? I need a new lens for my Sutro

[@sportrxeyewear]

They are not! The overall width of the 2 models is different in terms of the frame as well as lens size. The Sutro Lite & Sutro Lite Sweep lenses are different but can work in the same frame chassis. However the original Sutro lenses are unto themselves and cannot work with other Sutro models. Hope this helps!

[@wonbinchoi0138]

Does sutro lite come with prizm road black?

The launch colorways only include PRIZM Road and PRIZM Road Jade but I am sure PRIZM Road Black will be available in the future.
