Oakley Sutro Lite sunglasses review
If you’re considering buying a pair of Oakley Sutro Lites, don’t walk—RUN! Why? They look good on (pretty much) everyone and are incredibly versatile. I bought my first pair a couple of years ago and absolutely never looked back.
I wear them:
Ski touring
Cross-country skiing
Road biking
Gravel biking
Mountain biking
Road running
Trail running
Hiking
And pretty much any time I’m just trying to look like a super speedy, badass gal.
Why I love them
Versatility. They work for literally every sport (except maybe swimming or downhill skiing in extremely cold temperatures).
The look. As mentioned, they truly look good on everyone. Whether you’re a city gworl going for a high-fashion, sporty look or a bearded mountain man up at 14,000ft, you will look good.
Comfort. They are super lightweight and have that level of comfort that almost makes you forget you are wearing them.
The lenses. Oakley lenses, especially Prizm lenses, are superior. They amplify terrain, even in super flat light, and make everything look gorgeous.
High-wrap shield. The lenses wrap around your face a bit, which provides protection from most angles. So if it’s super windy or blowing snow, they will keep your eyes safe.
What makes them different?
Somewhat similar to the Oakley Sutro Lite, Oakley does have a regular Sutro style. The main difference is the lightweight, rimless design of the Sutro Lite. This obviously gives users a more weightless feel but also allows for a greater field of view.
I personally feel like the style also—as mentioned a couple of times now—looks good on everyone. Personal opinion, the regular Sutro sometimes looks a little more aggressive.
As for how they compare to other brands, honestly, nothing really compares. I have tried several other brands that make similar styles that are also super versatile, but when it comes to quality, design, and style, Oakley Sutro Lites are truly superior.
I mean, there is probably a reason why one of the best quarterbacks in the country has his own line of Oakley Sutro Lites—shout out Patrick Mahomes. Side note, I really only know who he is since Taylor Swift put the Kansas City Chiefs on that map, oh, and maybe when Rihanna performed at his big game.
Why you should care
I am a firm believer that every person would benefit from having a go-to pair of sunglasses for outdoor adventures. Even if you’re just going to grab coffee in a cute activewear set, these glasses will immediately turn you into a cool, confident girly (or guy).
You might not be in the market for a pair of glasses like this, but I can assure you that they will soon become one of your favorite things that you never knew you needed.
In Conclusion
They are worth it. I promise. I feel like I’ve shared most of the key details on why they are so great, but if you are still skeptical about them, go try them on in person. I know they are pricey, but if you take care of them, they will last for many years to come. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk on the Oakley Sutro Lite. Have a great day!
