Everybody how's it going this is Matt. And today we're going to be taking a look at sunglasses in particular Oakley sunglasses. You guys know I'm pretty big into EDC gear knives guns just. Everything that has to do with a good EDC setup. And sharing my thoughts on those products. You know it is those things. Or veer am shoes anything like. Ilike to give you guys my opinions. And thoughts on gear so. This might be a long video just give. Me a heads up here I'm going to be discussing and in reviewing these 2you sunglasses as well as giving my backstory. Idiscovered Oakley for the first time so without further ado let's just jump right into. This like I said it's going to be a long video so grab. Some popcorn and favorite drink maybe a beer let's just get started guys by the way subscribe to the channel. You haven't done so already to leave. Some comments down below left talking to. You guys loves discussing EDC gear. And just stuff you carry on. You on a daily basis so anyway my journey into Oakley let's start with. That so about three years ago before then. Iwas just wearing nothing but Walmart brand. And dollar store sunglasses. And maybe the occasional sunglass you'd pick up at a clothing brand. Nothing about Oakley sunglasses. Ifigured you know sunglasses are sunglasses right. Ididn't know there's. Any difference between quality. Or design anything like. Iknow of Oakley the brand. Iused to snowboard. Iused to skate I was aware of the brand but. Inever really owned. Anything from them I just new. They were a pretty cool company.

And that's about it didn't try. Neither stuff but anyway that's that's besides the point so. Iwas stuck buying those. You know cheap sunglasses. They were affordable. Ididn't really care. They just easy and court defined so around. That time you know. Iwas looking at my EDC setup. You know I know the difference between a good quality knife. And a good quality firearm. You know flashlights. Everything like that but. Ireally haven't given. Any thought to my eyewear so about. That time I started doing research. And I've looked at spy I've looked at Costa I've looked at Ray Ban. All those glasses that are on the market. And said what is the difference between. These expensive sunglasses. And the ones I've been buying that's. What I ran across an Oakley YouTube video online showing the lens quality. And the drop tests we're not the drop test but the impact tests of their lenses.

What the materials they use for their frames. That kind of stuff I discovered a huge world of Oakley sunglasses. Ilike the styling I liked. What they were showing as far as impact protection. Iwas basically sold on again. Ilooked at spy in all those other brands. Iwasn't really convinced right marketing does play a role in. Everything nowadays that's for sure but. Ifigured ok well I will go to my local Oakley store. And actually take a look at their stuff in Tri mod. What I think so my first venture into Oakley sunglasses. Iactually bought a pair of gas cans there were about 150 bucks in there a polarized lens. Itried those for the first week. And instantly got hooked to those sunglasses. They were right about their lens quality. And their clarity so from there on. Iuse those gas cans for about two years. And as time went on. Istill have them to. This day actually they work phenomenally well but.

Iwanted to upgrade a little bit. You know just some different styles. And things of that nature around the same lines. What I like so fast-forward three years later. These are the two new pairs. And I'd like to show. These to you so let's take a look at the first. One in the box here which is my latest pair. And it's a style that's been out for a little bit. It is the Oakley crankshaft. This is a really cool sunglass guys. Now like one has been around for quiet. Some time this frame style but. Ipicked it spoke to. You guys know I'm a huge supporter of the Second Amendment. All things America fits so let's just move. That off to the side I'll show. You the product number product code is nine to three nine.

This is the standard issue crankshaft so military. And police you know Oakley SI crankshaft. That black frame with gray lenses but. Idid change out the lens we'll get to. That minute so this is the We the People Heritage Collection crankshaft. And look at this microfiber bag guys. We just pull these glasses out here check. This out isn't that cool. This is the joiner die snake. That Thomas Jefferson drew up back. When the colonies power around. This is a joiner die so. You wanted the colonies to unite to start. And from the United States to defeat the British really cool so. This actually matches the artwork inside the sunglass. These particular model called the crankshaft has been out since 2012. And they're getting sort of harder to finalize.

You can find these go ahead. And pick yourself off the pair they're really nice super lightweight very durable frames. These are made out of there Oakley Oh matter material which is going to give. You a really nice durability. And it's sort of plastic material but. Everything I know is. That it's made out of like an FRN type of material so it's almost like a fiberglass reinforced nylon. You know plastic composite material that's very strong very lightweight. Something you can wear every day. All day without any hot spots on the head. You know weighing you down. Anything like I really like the. All matter frame material lay. This says we the people on the side with the snake can be negative. And on the other side. It doesn't have the. We the people but it has the same snake in the regular coloration. This is the black frame with the desert ten icons in the desert tan graphic on the side really cool so again. This is a part of their heritage collection.

They have four different frames. That are part of this which is the frog skin fuel cell. This crankshaft and the Hal brook which the Holbrook is there. Most popular style and you'll see a lot of the Holbrook style being ripped off by. All their companies. And stuff like that but that's for a separate video so that's. It came with the grey lenses but. Ibought a separate pair of polarized lenses which is the chrome. And I'll give you a head shot of. Both of these sunglasses later on in the video as well just to show. What they look like on your face. And give you an example. And an idea what they look like but. This lens here is a straight chrome lens.

You can't really pick up on. It on camera right now but again. Ithrow them on you'll get a better idea. This is basically a straight mirror look anywhere. This is a polarized lens so. Idon't know think about Oakley lens quality is Oakley lenses blackout 100% of UVA B. And C as well as 400 nanometers of blue light. That equates to total eye protection as far as UV ray goes from the Sun. And their polarization the guys don't know polarize does is. It blocks out 99% of glare. That 99% of glare is unique to Oakley lenses because of. This special blend of poly carbonate with which. They call blue tonight. It blocks out 99% of glare compared to the competition so fantastic so. If you're out on the water. If you're driving it's going to cut. That glare offs the water. And off the road off your windshield to give. You the best viewing experience also Oakley lenses are going to give. You phenomenal clarity as far as detail.

All of their lenses are HD o. Or HD optics which means they're not going to distort. Any image your brain is not going to have to overcompensate for whatever you're looking at. And correct those images coming through the lens into your eye which is really nice so no eye fatigue no eye strain total eye protection. Iabsolutely love this is the crankshaft Heritage Collection from Oakley phenomenal rep pair of sunglasses so. It gives you really phenomenal. You know side protection so you're not going to get. Any light coming in from the side they're amazing so that's my recent pair. Ipurchased one before. That is in this metal case here. You can purchase the Smokies separate but. This is a custom pair. This is the Oakley straight link. And like these are custom. You get a custom pair of Oakley's. You can totally make them your own. You can do it online. You can go to the store.

You have an Oakley retailer. Either a vault store. Or in regular Oakley store near. You to customize your own sunglasses I'd say call ahead of time just to make sure. They can do that's because not every single vault can do customized sunglasses so anyway. Icustomized these in store. Iam super glad this is a new pair. They released in 2016 again. This is 2017 for those of. You are watching this video so it's still a new style it's not. Even been out for a year. Iabsolutely love these pair. These are my favorite out of. All of them I bought. This crankshaft for a collector's piece just aware every. And again but one is my main go-to for everyday Saamy replace my gas cans.

That kind of stuff so. These are my everyday pair. This is the straight link. And custom and it's really cool so. One has the matte green in black frame with the slate. Or gray sock on the side matte black icons. And the new prism daily polarized lens. Now what's really cool about. One is yes it is still a rap style like. Ilove rap style sunglasses. Iblock out a lot of side light. And gives you total eye protection but. One has the Oakley unobtainium on the ear sock so say. You sweat you get them wet they're not going to slide off your face as easy. They get this material gets. More tacky you know. You sweat what say with the nose piece here so total secure fit as with. All Oakley sunglasses. They have a three-point fit so. These two parts of the arms will touch the back of your head. This nose piece will touch the front of your nose giving you not only a secure fit but. It doesn't squeeze the crap out of your head so. If you're worrying all day they're going to be super comfortable.

And they're going to stay in place. Now the cool thing about. These lenses here the prism daily polarized is. They give you a nice rosy hue. You look through them so. It relaxes your eyes a little bit. And they're not only polarized so. It blocks out 99% of glare but a really cool thing is. They increase color contrast so with the prism line of lenses. They make a slew of them so. They make them for cycling baseball fishing golf trail. You know daily wear which is. One here and then they release. Some newer ones I won't get into in. This video but they're. All phenomenal all increase different colors depending on what your going to be doing during the day. Or different activities so. Iopted for the prism daily which is good for everyday wear obviously. It increases colors of brown red yellows. And a little bit of green not as much but. It takes like sheen off of greens. And things of that nature increases those colors. You want to see during the day to help.

You pick out more detail in your environment. And just given all-around better viewing experience. And in fact I not only wear. These on a bright sunny day but. When it's foggy out. Even overcast I do a lot of disc golfing and shooting and. These work phenomenally well for. That as well as fishing too. They are polarized but again. You want a specific fishing lens deep water. And shallow water prisms are phenomenal as well. You can get those if you're avid fisherman. Or water sport enthusiast but anyway the daily lens is. What I absolutely love. Another thing that's really cool about. These daily lenses is.

You know when it's foggy out. Or overcast this lens lets in about thirteen to fourteen percent of light can't quite remember which. It is but it's right around there. And it's its not too dark to. Where you're going to be missing things but it's not too light to. Where you're going to be squinting when you're still wearing sunglasses so it's in. That perfect medium, so we're going to pick up colors better. And detail and it's just a good all-around pair of lenses so. This is the Oakley straight link absolutely love. One nice secure fit. You go custom by the way. You could choose your frame color your sock color icon lends color. That kind of stuff to really suit your own needs. And make them your own, so I'm really into camo. That kind of thing so. Iopted for this it also comes in a black. And gray camel too which is pretty cool. And then now with every Oakley custom. You get to choose your choice of microfiber bag. Ichose the riveted microfiber bag for this.

This has the picture of the. One icon headquarters on. It which is in oak which is a Oakley's headquarter headquarters in Foothill Ranch California. And then this metal vault case as well to match the back so really cool guys. Iabsolutely love Oakley they're not just name brand they're definitely high quality lenses. You want to learn more just go into a store talk to. One of the Oakley sales reps. And they'll definitely take care. You show all the ins. And outs of every single lens every single frame. And you'll find one. That suits they have sport frames lifestyle frames crossover pairs like. One here which is sport lifestyle wire frames. Even snowboarding goggles. And apparel they will definitely hook.

You guys up you guys know. Everything about Oakley so um. Another thing I want to touch on -. This chrome lens I bought with. It lets in about the same light amount of light transmission as the daily but. It does not increase color contrast but. It still gives that HD optical clarity so. Anything you look at out of. Any Oakley sunglasses. It is rather been 5 feet in front of. You like or right in front of. All the way out to 350 plus yards out you're going to get bed zero optics which is going to give. You the best detail out of. Anything you look at. It doesn't distort any image plus with the lens quality in general they're shattered resistant safety rated. That kind of good stuff so your eyes are going to be totally protected the. One thing I will recommend is. You go in there you buy yourself a good pair of sunglasses don't forget the lens cleaning kit don't forget a hard case.

That will save your investment yes. They are you know expensive sunglasses but. They definitely are worth the money they're not just a name-brand they're high-quality. They will save your eyes in your eyes are the only set of eyes you're ever going to have protect them from the environment. And you're good to go your muscles do not regenerate overtime guys so. You want to make sure. You have a great pair of Oakley's to back your eyes up um. Ithink that's about. It Oakley's also do come with a two-year warranty as well so. It doesn't cover lens scratching again so get. That lens cleaner to protect the lenses from scratching over time. And don't use your shirt. You clean these up guys use the microfiber bags.

That are provided that lens cleaning kit. And always storm in case. When you're done protect your investment. All right guys so I'm gonna give. You a quick view of what. Both of these sunglasses look like. You put them on so first off here is the Oakley crankshaft the Heritage Collection really nice wrap frame on. And again these have the chrome lenses so as. You can see there iridium coating on the outside so. You cannot see my eyes. It just reflects back. Everything you look at so there's a side shot there. These have a nice fit. Ihave a smaller frame face. And I'm not seeing any light on the bottom. Or on the top just really nice and enclosed. And I'm going to put them on the top of my head here so. You can see what they look like as well really nice. They just sit there they're not going to fall off. They don't feel loose. Anything like and the next. One is the straight link my custom pair prism daily polarized lenses.

These do have a little bit of an iridium. Or reflective coating on them but in certain light. If certain light hits the side. Something you can see your eyes just a little bit but it's not too bad still has a little bit of a mirror look there but again no lights coming in from the bottom. Or on the top really nice wrap secure fit. And again of that unobtainium they're going to stay on your head pretty securely. And then I'll post them up top again on the Hat so really nice to naki go anywhere so. That was just a quick look. Both of those look like on my head let's jump right back into the review so anyway that's about. It for Oakley sunglasses guys. Iknow it's a long video it's running about 20 minutes. And I'm sorry but for those of. That it's sick tore up stuck around. And learn something definitely check them out well worth the money. And drop some comments down below guys let. What you think and until next time I'll see on the next CDC video thanks for watching this.
