Oakley Sutro
Performance eyewear with a modern look
Pros: Unique design, versatility, secure fit
Cons: Not available in prescription
One of the trendiest sport sunglasses of 2020, the Oakley Sutro blends lifestyle and sport.
“Oakley Sutro redefines the look of traditional sports eyewear. Inspired by the daily life of urban cyclists, the high-wrap shield creates a bold, versatile look, while inspiring athletes to move confidently and seamlessly through their day,” Oakley says.
“These shades deliver vertical and horizontal coverage giving riders more protection,” a reviewer said.
“The trend is to look casual while doing sport, like those who wear flannel shirts while riding.”
Reviewers have said these work equally well casually and during a 160km ride.
“The optics are sharp, coverage is ample and the lenses are durable,” a reviewer said.
“The full shield lens provides extra coverage to keep you protected from the sun, wind, and debris. While a rubber nose piece keeps the glasses in place.”
Available in three versions: Sutro, Sutro S (small) and Sutro Lite (semi-rimless design). According to Oakley, the ventilated version is not available in South Africa.
These shades are fairly affordable with prices starting at R1 999.
