The Oakley Sutro goes retro - Oakley Sutro Lite Sweep Vented Sunglasses Review - feat. Prizm Lens

The Oakley Sutro sunglasses have been one of Oakley’s most popular shield style sunglasses and have been popular among cyclists. As Oakley often does, they’ve introduced yet another variation to the Sutro sunglasses with the new Sutro Lite Sweep Vented sunglasses that we're reviewing here. The Sutro Lite Sweep Vented adds a retro-inspired swept lens design to the Sutro Lite semi-frameless sunglasses. These are available both as the vented variation we have here with the circular vents along the top brow or as a non-vented version. The Sutro Lite Sweep sunglasses retail for $189 which is the same as the standard Sutro Lite model. The Sutro Lite Sweep and Sweep Vented lenses are also interchangeable between the Sutro Lite variations. In addition to the updated lens shape, the Sutro Lite Sweep Vented also features an integrated earsock for a sleeker appearance and improved fit.
Although the model name is a bit of a mouthful, try repeating Sutro Lite Sweep Vented a few times, it’s a fun variation of the Sutro Lite sunglasses. The frame shares the same proprietary O Matter frame construction, a flexible nylon material, with subtle geometric detailing on the temples. Non-slip earsocks are integrated directly into the insides of the temple arms for a sleek appearance. Branding is limited to Oakley on the temples, the full Oakley word, as well as the printed onto the center of the lens. With the Sweep Vented variation, Oakley has stuck to bright retro and loud combinations of Tennis Yellow, Pink and Black frame and temple arm colors. It’s a polarizing design regardless of which of the three available combinations you choose but hits the retro vibes.
The other retro element here is the swept back lens which harkens back to Oakley’s original sunglasses. It’s quite the deviation from the squared off design the Sutro sunglasses are known for and look closer to other Oakley models such as the Radar. The sharp angle is reminiscent of the ROKA Matador Air sunglasses and gives the sunglasses a fresh look. With the Sweep Vented sunglasses there are an additional 10 circular vents cut into the lens along the top brow. It’s a design element borrowed from the original 1980s Factory Pilot sunglasses and looks great. While the sunglasses are oversized it’s more restrained than other sunglasses such as the ski-goggle like Bolle Chronoshields or the massive POC Devour...

Also rocking these on an MT, but in my case it's an MT-10. Love them.

[@derzkoeradio]

Hi! Is it ruby iridium? But why it looks translucent on video? Is it mirror lense? it looks like prism road lenses On video))

[@TheSweetCyclists]

This is the Prism Ruby (see 00:38) lens. It isn't a true mirror finish but from certain angles mimics one.

[@derzkoeradio]

@@TheSweetCyclists oh. Ok. Thanks for responding. I thought this is typical prism ruby. Strong mirror.

[@ButtHolePlugger5]

Do the vents help prevent fog up?

[@TheSweetCyclists]

Yes, they help air flow through the sunglasses. As I mention in the review, the vents are almost too large though and are visible at the edge of your vision.
