Oakley Mercenary vs. Flak 2.0 XL | SportRx

[@lefteriseleftheriou5435]

Hey, great video! I really like the Mercenary but I'm inclined to chose the Flak 2.0 XL becaause I'd like a 24k or Rose gold Prizm polarised lens. Does the Mercenary come in any of those colours?

[@Charlydx21]

You have a bigger head but it’s still a slim narrower head. I’m looking for someone with a wider head. What do you recommend? I thought the XL meant for bigger WIDER head people but it just means XL lens.

What are the Oakley glasses models on the Left-stand, and the Right-stand??

Hello Anson! On the left are the Sutros: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-sutro-sunglass-review/ And on the right are the Foragers: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-forager-review-sunglasses/ Thanks for reaching out!

[@SusobhonSamuelMorrison]

Flak 2.0 XL is my personal favourite. Most awesome colour is the Ruby Fade one. It is sporty looking but still very cool.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello Sushobhon! We couldn't agree with you more!

[@MeTheKFCking]

I really like my new mercenarys but the left lense touches my cheek at the bottom of the lense and the right one is fine, anyone got any tips for this?

[@damienethelbah289]

Are both sunglasses are darkness for tbi injury or doctor specialist encryption for it thank you sir

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi Damien! There are lens options under the PRIZM banner that boast low VLT percentages and offer some relief for people with TBI and high photosensitivity, such as the Prizm Black Polarized (11%), Prizm Deep Water Polarized (12%), & Prizm Road Black (11%). It's difficult to say with authority whether a certain lens will provide enough relief to the wearer without knowing more about the problems associated with the specified diagnosis. BUT you can give us a call and speak with a licensed optician who can answer your questions and help find a reliable solution for your eyewear needs 👉 877.289.2999

Can you get the lenses changed at all on mercenary?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello Jamie! We can make custom Oakley authentic prescription lenses for the Mercenary. The lenses are also interchangeable but it is such a new model that replacement lenses are not yet available for it. Please let us know how we can help you out!

[@jamielfc123]

If I can please get an email that would be great

is that the matte carbon mercenary w/ prizm dark golf lens?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Yes it is! You can scope it out here: www.sportrx.com/oakley-mercenary.html

[@paradox963]

Loving the look of the Mercenary and am getting near needing a new pair but I hope they will start offering them in the Prizm Trail lens in RX.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello! We do too! The size of the lens is awesome for coverage but the one downside is the lack of non-polar PRIZM rx options. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you out with: www.sportrx.com/contact

The Mercenarys available in PRIZM Dark Golf RX ?

[@andresbukid7186]

Hello Guys! Thanks for the vid! I have one question, I'm upgrading from an Oakley Split Jacket which is in its last legs and served me well. I really like it's wrap,( the coverage and the way it gives me a peripheral view), wondering if the Mercenary or Flak has the same base curvature as the split jackets? Thanks.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi Andres! Thanks for tuning in. The Flak 2.0 XL has a similar base curve and we would recommend that over the Mercenary because it is more comfortable. Hope this helps!

[@andresbukid7186]

@@sportrxeyewear Hi! Thanks for replying! I was leaning towards the Flak 2.0 XL and I thought it's probably the closest to the split jacket. Thanks for the recommendation! :)

[@rumisfordrinkingnotburning]

Which lenses was andrew wearing in the Mercenary frame? Prizm grey or polarized prizm black? Love y'alls reviews.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi there Robbie! Thanks for the love! Andrew is wearing the Mercenary in Polished Black with PRIZM Grey lenses. You can learn more about the Mercenary here: www.sportrx.com/oakley-mercenary.html

[@whosoever1639]

I think I will order the mercenarys. Hey Rob what prescription tint where you wearing during the start of this video. I'm looking for a prescription with light tint I can use in the office and at my computer. Thanks

[@pedrohenriquequeiroz2289]

im going all-in on those mercenaries Prizm deep water polarized lens for a beach volley player

[@KarlBlessing]

Tried the Mercenary but found them to be a bit too tight on my head (likewise the Sliver did the same). Found frames like the Holbrook XL, Clifden, and Wire Tap 2.0 to be more comfortable for my head size. Curious if the Flak 2.0 XL would be noticeable in terms of being bigger for my head size.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hmmm. The Flak 2.0 XL is right on the edge. It is a bit too tight for Rob's face. The 'XL' actually refers to the extended lens height rather than the fit of the frame. I would contact one of our certified opticians for a second opinion: www.sportrx.com/contact

[@KarlBlessing]

@@sportrxeyewear I picked up a pair of matte black XL with deep water lens (reminds me of the prizm daily, but warmer). It fits pretty comfortably and while the right side of the arm is closer to my face there's still a gap so it doesn't feel like it's pushing either way. I also love how the XL lens doesn't mess with my peripheral and does pretty decent at covering the side light source. The lens also have a nice clean cut off where they end far as my eyes can seem, whereas the Wire Tap 2.0 with the daily there's a distortion/ripple effect at the edge of the lens that can be a little disorienting if my eyes wander to the edge of coverage. So seems like the Flak 2.0 in general would work, but definitely like that extra lens coverage.

[@michaelluttrell8262]

Hey I appreciate the videos and the information. I am officially compared. I am also a golfer. I can't afford flak 2.0. What is and more affordable option Oakley that I can put that golf Prizm lenses in?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello Michael! You can always check out the Targetline in polished Black with PRIZM Golf at $153: www.sportrx.com/oakley-targetline.html The Targetline was specifically designed with Golf in mind.

What are the lens type in Sport RX Rob's aviators he is wearing?. how are those lens in bright sun? I assume they are a type of Prizms.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi there! He is wearing the Oakley Elmont and those are custom SportRx lenses! Feel free to reach out to one of our certified opticians if you are interested in getting a similar setup: www.sportrx.com/contact

Well explained. Thank you

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello S v! Thanks for commenting!

[@CASANOVAPRO1985]

Are the Flak 2.0 good for being on the ocean ? The reflection from the water ??

[@sportrxeyewear]

Indeed! But be sure to get a PRIZM polarized lens to cut glare if you will be using them for water activities. You can learn more about PRIZM polarized here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-polarized/

[@CASANOVAPRO1985]

Thanks for the like. But that didn’t answer my question

[@sportrxeyewear]

Maybe you sent this before our reply. Did you get the reply recommending you get Prizm Polar lenses?

[@Choice7890]

What’s the exact type name of the Black colored Oakley flak? Is it the carbon edition?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi there! That is matte black but we also have an exclusive matte carbon colorway you can check out here: www.sportrx.com/oakley-sportrx-flak-2-0-xl-limited-edition.html

[@InkwellFoto]

What are the glasses you are wearing?

[@InkwellFoto]

Mercenary looks better on your face. I have a larger head so I always look to see what glasses you model to get an idea of what will work for me

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello! It is definitely geared towards a larger head. Thanks for your feedback!

[@skyshade9106]

i have both there both great!!!

[@sportrxeyewear]

That's amazing! Thank you for sharing!

[@rcg9573]

You said the mercenary has bigger lenses than the Flak 2.0 XL. Does this mean it provides better coverage for bicycling?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi Rob! Yes, it will provide a bit more coverage then the Flak 2.0 XL.

[@tg7950]

I personally like the flak2.0 xl frame because it can accommodate my prescription that is a -5.00 total power!!

[@sportrxeyewear]

Exactly! You bring up a great point for any prescription wearers out there!

[@nisch2379]

How did you do this, please explain.

[@pedrohenriquequeiroz2289]

my prescription is -2.5 and this specific lens for flak 2.0 cannot be done how are you using those -5.00??

Hi. I chosed oakley as a brand but What do u recommend ( lens, model and colour) for a very sunny and hot ( 45+ in summer) environment ?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello there! We recommend PRIZM Black Polarized for super sunny conditions. The model depends on what you will be using the sunglasses for. If they are for casual wear, the Oakley Holbrook is a popular choice: www.sportrx.com/oakley-holbrook.html If you are using them for sports then the Flak 2.0XL is a great choice: www.sportrx.com/oakley-flak-2-0-xl.html The Mercenary falls right between the two with a casual look but sport features. Hope this helps! If you need more advice on what sunglasses to get you can always contact one of our certified opticians here: www.sportrx.com/contact Thanks for reaching out!
