Review on 🕶️ Oakley OO9271 Rectangular Sunglasses Polished: The Ultimate Style and Protection by Patrick Bacho

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautifully Asian Ideal for accessories

So you're Asian and it's hard to find sunglasses that don't slide down your face. I have good news. Your long search is over, my friend. This Oakley model bears your name. These are great sunglasses. Oakley lenses are almost invisible. The clarity is amazing. And that elusive Asian fit is perfect. So why not 5 stars? Well, the problem is the price. Oakley and other well-known sunglass manufacturers overprice their products. The reason is explained in a great documentary on YouTube entitled Why Glasses Are So Expensive. I won't post a link here, but you can search. It's easy to find. I chose the "positive iridium lens" because it offers the right balance of shadows and light transmission. You can use these sunglasses indoors. It lets in plenty of light, Oakley says, but blocks all harmful UV rays. Obviously every lens has its specific application. Positive Iridium is a good general purpose lens. Suitable for a sunny day but can also be used indoors. You can opt for mirrored lenses if you are a lifesaver. Assess your needs carefully, then read the Oakley description for each lens type to help you choose the right lens. This model is great. I liked the color, it's sporty and sexy. As I said, the quality of the lens is impeccable. Now if only they can lower the price to a reasonable number. . .Highly recommended if it's in your price range. If the price is too high for you, check out some custom sunglasses online. I had custom sunglasses with purple gradient lenses that are almost as good as these Oakley ones. The frame is not of the best quality, but the lenses are said to be 100% UV protected. For a fraction of the price. The fit was very good. If you are Asian, your choice is indeed Oakley. No one makes sunglasses that fit Asian men as well as Oakley. That's what a lot of Asian men tell me. I use these Oakley sunglasses when I'm relaxing in the pool and sunbathing. For that it works great. The style is youthful and sexy. The transparency of the lenses is so good that sometimes I forget I'm wearing sunglasses. Even when I enter the room. These are really great sunglasses from Oakley. This is my fourth pair of Oakleys. My first was a 1993 Frogskins with black rims. This is the best model so far.
