Why I Chose Oakley Sutro Sunglasses

I recently lost my 100% S2 sunglasses. I chose to replace them with Oakley Sutros. Here's why.

[@ragnar7363]

Got my Sutro S today. Had a normal sutro before, which was just too big for my face. The video helped me a lot in my decision, also in terms of the right color for the lenses. Thanks. Greetings from Switzerland .

[@benphilippi2288]

Glad I could help!

[@norainnoflowery3512]

Glad I found your review! I need this for my hiking trip

[@benphilippi2288]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@noobzrule]

Check out the Sutro Eyeshade which are the retro versions that's selling like hot 🔥 cakes and gives off that 70's vibe like Fez 😍

[@gustavsnderlund1782]

The all black glass is actually the darkest out of the three. They’re almost the same all of them, but the black lenses is the darkest. The “red” glass is the standard/classic prizm road

[@chrismills6993]

Been looking at these and was leaning towards the ones you chose. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@sowolfx5795]

Very helpful video. I wanted the red ones. You changed my decision. Liked.

[@benphilippi2288]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Clockster70]

Exactly what I was looking for. Wasn’t sure on what lenses to go for. Nice one 👍🏻👍🏻

[@benphilippi2288]

Glad you liked it and hopefully it was helpful Ray.

[@Atomicunderware]

The black is the darkest at 11%. Jade is 15%, Road 20%

[@Ludenaaa]

Great job with adding the pictures as well, to see an accurate representasion of the colors

[@benphilippi2288]

Thank you.

[@Jane-vw5om]

The pair you chose suit you the best! They look great

[@cyclebicycle]

Thank you for the review. It helped a lot!

[@fromwhitehousetobighouse]

They fit ur face shape very well

[@managermats]

With red, full black and turquoise you probably mean Prizm Road, Prizm Road Black and Prizm Jade. Cheers

[@benphilippi2288]

Yeah. I found the names confusing, so I just went by colors. What color is Prizm Road?? Anyhow, thanks for clarifying.

@@benphilippi2288 Road Prizm are intended for Road cycling, they also do a Trail Prizm for MTB, Prizm Black are more of an all rounder that’s a bit darker

How about you shut up

[@michalbrzezinski2958]

the question is , are they also good in sun/cloud days too ? or in the late afternoon ? Because I consider buying prizm sapphire Sutro right now ....

[@bobbydazzler1780]

Great review - perfect for cycling and driving they also look cool off the bike just walking around outside. I’m sold on the half frame version just need to decide on the lens as I’m in cloudy U.K.

[@arthurreyes2632]

Best review of these glasses. I have a small head so I definitely will getting the S. These look small on you, I think he regular sutro might fit you better actually.

[@ssbagley]

Nonsense! These look bang on on him. The larger ones look horrendous, have you seen Egan Benal wearing his? 😂

[@fabsterun]

The red ones looked very good on you. I'm going to try these for running. Maybe I should review them on how they perform for running it's impossible to find decent reviews like these . Very good video

[@Jane-vw5om]

Thanks for this review. I’ll be buying the same pair you bought!

[@Gianniz27]

Its Sutro S, not Sutro.

[@Dmitry-Moiseenko]

Thank you for a great review! I ordered Oakley Sutro Matte Carbon glasses with Clear to Black Photochromic lens, looking forward to use them :)

I chose PRIZM Road Jade because of you.Thanks

Quiet impressed and happy with my Sutro Troy Lee design...was’nt even sure if they were my exact size when I ordered!

Oakley vs 100% For me, it’s gotta be the Oakley too

[@benphilippi2288]

I like 100% but I can't stand that removable rubber nose piece.

[@OLICIT]

Have you actually owned or used the 100% S2’s? I own both and prefer my 100% sunglasses over my Sutros

[@ariffau]

@@OLICIT no S2. Just Glendale and Speed Trap. Didn’t like both.

[@noobzrule]

The nosepiece can get sticky like glue when sweat get on it unlike the ones you keep losing 😂

I will buy one from you for 100

Wow I love those 100%, where can I by one one of those black and brown??

Green prizm lenses are the best for 🚵‍♂️ or 🚘

[@jametz66]

there are different Prizm Jades. Prizm Jade, and Prizm Road Jade. Jade has a grey base, Road Jade has a rose base.

[@tremec33]

Nice review, thanks for that. Have you tried or considered the Sutro Lite? I’m hesitant between the normal Sutros and the Lite. Cheers, René

[@benphilippi2288]

No. I have the Sutro S glasses. I'll wear them until they break or I lose them.

[@snarp408]

This video is literally perfect for me. Had a few pairs of S2's, been loving em. But I'm concerned the Sutros will scratch too easy, as my pair of Holbrooks scratch very easy. Guess we'll see! The S2's don't scratch very easily at all

[@Rooots64]

Great video. Super helpful. Thanks!

Is road biking not more dangerous than mountain biking? ie cars

What was the lense of ur S2 that ur saying that they were dark for the woods ?

[@robbycavazos9196]

You nailed it with this review! thank you for putting all the work into this video for us.

[@REx-ht3mo]

Great idea to make up your own names for the lenses…

[@andreisevela1496]

I also consider Julbo Rush, as they cheaper and seems to have more adjustment options. But from my research it seems, that Oakley have superior lens technology ?

[@benphilippi2288]

Julbos are nice and cheaper. I'm pretty happy with my Sutros

[@ryanemarshallYT]

Wonderful detail in this review, thank you!!!

[@benphilippi2288]

You're welcome Ryan. Glad it was helpful.

[@thomasabbott2277]

Why didn’t you just get one pair and buy a couple other lenses

I will replace lenses as I need them.

Thank you for review, I still cant decide betwen regular and S version, what is the size of your head for helmet ? thanks

[@benphilippi2288]

I have a pretty big head and I am happy with the Sutro S.

[@NeilXDavis]

They are the ‘S’ (small) version yeah?. Considering those myself - the normal size too big for me.

[@benphilippi2288]

Yes, Sutro S. Never knew what the S stood for until now. 😅 Thanks

[@kdclt]

Super helpful in trying to pick between the three road lenses. Thanks!

[@lilgoatskrrt]

Do you have Prizm Jade lense or the Road Jade version ? I’m thinking about buying them, but I don’t know which version I should pick. They say green (prizm jade) is more for a every day use, and the pink (road) are specifically for road biking. Can’t find prizm road Jade (green, but in road version) in my country which I’m digging the most, so I’m a bit confused :( thanks for the video, great work !

Do these sutros come with a clear lens, along with the tinted ones? The 100% come with two lenses from what I've heard but wasn't sure if oakley did this as well.

[@benphilippi2288]

No they do not come with clear. Not even sure if they offer that. Yes, 100% come with clear lenses. I never used mine. You can buy extra or replacement lenses for the Sutros.

Sutro S

[@2509baller]

Are they polarized

[@lucajack007]

Got em and love em thanks

[@VlasTrunov]

Totally overrated glasses. I'm glad I tried these on before ordering to see how much light gets through from under the bottom of the lens. I do have a slim face. Thankfully, Oakley has released Kato and Encoder, both of which suit best. Encoder is definitely worth every buck spent on it.

[@calebgonsalves2970]

Sutro is a more casual frame. Kato is their latest cycling performance pair. Also, I don't really think light getting in from the bottom should be an issue, considering not much light comes from directly below you to cause interference

They stay on my face. They are grippy. No issues.

Would it be possible to get the exact model/sku number for those glasses? On the website they can a different discretion, I am really liking that green tint. Thank YOU!

[@drsauce2574]

Its just the jade prism color

[@fademasterfade227]

Hey, when you ordered from Oakley did you have to pay customs/ duties? I just ordered 3 pairs from Oakley Canada (I'm in Canada) and I see they shipped from the US. That could mean they charge me $150 or so in taxes when I get them from the courier. thanks

[@benphilippi2288]

I didn't get charged customs. But I guess it's possible. I think it's ridiculous that Canada does that. Try to buy them through Oakley Canada.

[@Greatestofalltime7219]

Keep lens cleaning clothes in all your Jersey pockets. Leave them there. Don’t use a shirt on Oakley lenses.

I use my shirt all the time. They get scratched but they're still good.

I went with the gold lenses! Love them

[@caleballen3878]

Yeah, the gold lense ones have a carbon frame which sold me bc i think they will be the strongest

[@suelineable]

Love your explanation.

[@harrydodd-irwin1477]

what lense do you think is most versatile

[@jametz66]

the one he chose is the most versatile because it sits in the middle of the 3. He chose the Prizm Road, Road Jade, and Road Black. The road lets in 20% light, the jade lets in 15%, the black lets in 11%. They are all Prizm Road lenses w/ a 'rose' base for contrast. He chose Prizm Road Jade.

Sutro S?

[@benphilippi2288]

Yes.

Hi Ben! what size are those? I'm wondering if what size I'm going to buy... thank you.

Not sure exactly. They are Sutro S. I believe they are slightly smaller than Sutros. I have a fairly big head the Sutro S fit me nicely.

[@mrDingleberry44]

Thanks for the review. I'd add maybe two things in future reviews. Some closeups of frames would be cool. It would be nice to see that nosepiece a bit more closely. I'm also curious about the hinge, whether plastic or metal. A quick glance of outside through the glasses would be good too, e.g. this is without and this is with .... I like Oakley. But getting good pics or vids of what the outside looks like through a lense seems to not be a popular thing to capture. In particular, I'm curious what the Jade one looks like.
