Oakley Holbrook Metal

Product Information

Sometimes a little more expensive than the average, but with Oakley, you know you're purchasing proven quality, thanks to the company's reputation as a manufacturer of durable and long-lasting ski wear. This pair is designed with men's faces in mind. Telltale signs are sligtly longer temples and a wider nose bridge. They are manufactured in an abundance of frame and lens colours, giving you a range of styles to choose from. Tough Frames The Oakley Holbrook was released in 2010 and have become one of the most popular lifestyle Oakleys alongside the Gascans. With over 15 standard colorways and several variations, including the XL size, Mix, R, XS, Ti, and prescription, the market seems to constantly be looking for more. Holbrook Heaven and Earth Edition Frame Design Holbrooks have a distinct squared frame that will look best on people with round, oval, or rectangular faces. They are currently available in both O Matter and Metal frames (more on that to come). As Oakley describes the look:

Polarized lenses will reduce glare from road, ice, and water surfaces. In contrast, Prizm technology will also reduce glare but with additional contrast, color, and visibility enhancement.

Additionally, we’ve included the Holbrook dimensions so you can understand precisely what you’re buying. Holbrook XL However, if you prefer a lighter frame or encounter more sweat/water, you may want to look at the O Matter Holbrook. The plastic frame makes the Standard Holbrook a bit more repellent to liquids and easier to clean. Holbrook XL vs. XS vs. Mix vs. Rx vs. Ti? What’s the difference? In 2017, Oakley took the already popular Holbrook frame and introduced a metal frame for the first time. In comparison, original Holbrook’s are made of lightweight O Matter plastic, similar to most Oakley lifestyle sunglasses.

These sunglasses have a complete frame, guaranteeing the glass is fully covered by the circumferent material. As one might expect, the stainless steel frames can certainly be described as rigid and corrosion-resistant, although elasticity is not a characteristic linked to the material. Moreover, the glass is formed from plutonite, iridium. The lenses bear a rectangular appearance, which harmonizes well with round and oval faces. A Dependable Case & Cloth The Holbrook XL is a larger variation of the frame. Perfect if you have a large head or just enjoy bigger sunglasses. While not a huge difference, the XL offers a 59mm Lens Width vs. the standard Holbrook’s 55mm, plus an additional 1mm of height.
