1. Oakley Fives Squared Prizm Sunglasses – Men’s

From trout hiding in holes and tarpon lurking in brackish waters to marlin patrolling deep, open ocean, no fish is safe from the Oakley Fives Squared Prizm Sunglasses. Designed specifically for fishing, these shades have innovative lenses that allow you to glimpse under the water more clearly than ever before.

The Shallow H2O lenses are polarized to eliminate glare on the surface of the water, and they boost green and copper hues to make it easier to find fish in hiding spots. They also keep whites bright so you spy flashes when fish strike near the surface, plus they enhance the appearance of shadows so you can spot well-camouflaged fish.

Meanwhile, the Deep H2O lenses filter out the shades of blue that can overwhelm your vision when you’re miles from land. Improved color contrast boosts shades of green and red to make it easier to locate snapper and sailfish alike. Like the Shallow H2O lenses, the Deep Water versions are also polarized and enhance whites to help you spot fish flashes. However, the Deep Water versions are darker since you won’t be dealing with the shadows of canopy cover, allowing you to enjoy comfortable vision under the searing open ocean sun, all day long.

4. Oakley Fuel Cell Prizm Sunglasses – Men’s

Homo sapiens has been fighting water-borne glare for millennia, probably, but Oakley’s finally solved that particular problem with the Fuel Cell Prizm Sunglasses.

Hey, guys stable cubed here today I want to talk about the Oakley fuel cell so the Oakley fuel cell is an icon in. The Oakley sunglass community because. For a lot of good reasons if you look at it came out during that time for that generation when Oakley was at its peak.

When Jim Jannard was still running the company and during that time they were coming out with a lot of frames that like people were wearing I feel like I couldn’t walk around anywhere in the city without seeing a pair of fuel cells gas cans or flak jackets so this was. Just one Oakley was booming so during.

That time Oakley was coming out with a lot of names that had to do with vehicle parts like the gas can fuel cell oil rig. If I forget any other ones I’m sure I did let me know in the comments below anyway during that whole generational time so this is a classic it’s been sticking around for a while I know people say that the classics are like the eye shades or like the ex metals I would still put the fuel cell in that classic bracket as well, so we’re going. To look at for fuel cells today because I have a lot but I figured I’d just.

Going to show you too flashy ones and to more subdued once and then I’ll let you. Two decide which one you like and then. At some point later I’ll do a collection. Overview and to show you all my fuel cells but today I’m just going to focus on four so the first thing to go is but a fuel cell is it has very thick arms so. They’re very streamlined arms but the arms are very thick so you’re going to. Get a lot of light coverage from here. And also the top and bottom here I’ll.

Try them on for you this is a custom. Pair with this supposed to look like rust but it’s not really metal rust with. Fire radium and you got icons it’s supposed to have that like radioactive symbol on either side slightly different. But this is a custom pair so someone of my favorite flashy ones if I want to just go around town and be as good to me.

I’m wearing something weird on my face this is a great pair for that for people to look at me the nose bridge is a good size to actually get out my nose bridge is a little bit narrower I think the most people but so here’s someone who has a large nose bridge this is actually going to give you a lot of room so fuel cell is great for that also if you have a large head.

This is a good frame for that and it has. Good wrap if you look here is good rep. But it’s not too extreme I like it how does it kind of like get in between reps not quite as extreme as a bat wolf but. It’s not just like a whole rut were just flat either so it’s kind of like a good medium so I’ll show you another flat sheet here and this is a fuel cell.

Multicar with emerald lenses and this is. Really cool this is part of my favorite right now I love emerald lenses by the way in Rome like just makes everything look super cool and has it likes light blue hue to everything so everything just looks calmer and fresher I love. How this multi-cam has like a standout look to it but it’s also kind of subdued in a way and while being flashy also if you like the multi-cam look it’s in right now so this is really this is a really cool pair so something I want to talk about is comparison of the fuel cell to.

The gas can so this up here is the fuel. Cells of the gas can I decided to show you guys these two because these are very close in frame style so the fuel. Cell and gas can are basically cousins of each other the reason why I picked these particular frames is they’re also very close actually in the way they look they’re both something called ghost text so if you look closely at this frame. Says Oakley all over it and like silver. Writing looks like someone edged it all over it or like graffiti it all over it. So that’s called ghost text and this. The fuel cell has the same it actually looks. More hectic on this one if you look the. Fuel cell and gas can have almost the. Exact same weight to them but if you. Look the lenses also the same width too.

Then but the main difference is the nose bridge is a lot wider for the fuel cell and also the lens is a lot taller in the. Fuel cell the guest can also the lot boxier look and the fuel. The cell is a little bit more to the lens so again the fuel cell has a curvier lens has a taller lens and a. Wider nose bridge but the actual width of the lenses themselves are pretty similar and if you look on the sun give the arms are very similar but just like. Before just like I mentioned with the lens the gasket has a little bit more of a busting wing here and the wing for the fuels is a little bit more streamlined so I really prefer the fuel cell just we. Could have a larger head but you know.

And I also have a taller head but if the. The gas can is something that will work better for you because you have a smaller head definitely go for the gas can but if you have a larger head fuel cell right so that’s a nice segue into my to more subtle phrase so I put subtle. In quotes, because then race on a guy but this isn’t settled I’m going to get I have here the Oakley ghost text if you. Look at the icon it’s got this eagle this red eagle with a white star and you. Don’t get the blue background this is called the match sunglasses as a special. Edition and I really like these because they’re subtle at the same time there.

Not you know a big fan of like even when it’s subtle that you have your own unique thing going on so this kind of reminds me of like the kind of like a good all-American pair it’s got the blue it’s. Got the red white and blue here it’s also got the crazy ghost text so I think it looks really cool but it doesn’t scream out and look at me one thing to. Keep in mind is that if you see these arms here right they’re really wide so.

There are some pros and cons to how. Wide these frames are so because of these. Lights are really wide you can get a lot. Of artwork on them so I think it’s actually better to look at the multi cabin yet to see how much heart work you can get on them, so they had something called an artist series actually which had artwork all over these arms because it was able to fit so much pattern on it. So fuel cell is great for fitting on the pattern and for that sort of thing so if you look at the legs they’re very thin so even though they’re wide they’re not very thick at all so when they rest on my head what I really like is because. The frame is so wide here and you.

It’s also thought the pressure distribution is really well-balanced so that I feel. No pressure back here and I’m one of those people who’s very sensitive to pressure here or at my temples and with. Fuel cells I hardly feel any pressure at all so this is a lightweight frame but well-balanced as well so that’s the great thing about having these wide legs the drawback to it is um you’re going to. Get some serious tan lines so if you.

Wear these too often because it’s so thick here you’re gonna look like you have like basically you’re gonna look. Like that you like cyclops goggles but there’s actually your tan line so yeah the tan line situation something to keep in mind you know what it looks like Cyclops from the x-men except with the tan line so the last frame I want to show you is my one of my favorites. Actually one of my favorites actually of all time it’s called me Steven Murray. Edition if you look here you got the silver lines with the black polished.

The polished black frame you got like this like design here that’s supposed to be. Matching his tattoo so for people who don’t know Steven Murray so Steven Murray on the inside here and it says stay strong here um I really like this. Frame because it reminds me to stay. Strong for people who don’t know Steven Murray’s story who’s a BMX biker he was really famous he injured himself, and he lost him.

Paralyzed himself and lost all feeling from the neck down just look at this. Name and youtube Steven Murray’s a really inspiring guy because this guy he showed us to get out of bed now, and he’s still rocking it with BMX riders he’s still going out there promoting it he’s still talking to kids about like you know giving them like opportunities and cabs and stuff, and he’s raising awareness and money for people who have. Paralysis to help them walk again not just himself but a whole organization so.

That’s great, so he’s just rocking with that so whenever I wear this frame i. Think about Steve and Marie and the fact that you know he’s staying strong, and he’s supporting the community of people who are paralyzed or staying strong and what we’re fighting to walk again or force has opportunities that they. Didn’t have before so whenever I wear.

This pair I think about staying strong so this frame actually used to come with um black iridium lenses but I switched. Some chrome to make it flash a little bit more so again just to summarize fuel. Cells are great for medium to large medium-large spaces if you like this design but your head is too small I’d go for the gas cans and if you want.

To go for the shield version I’d go for the bad wolf although the bat wolf has even more wrap from the fuel cell so I’d really try it on before checking it out. If you’re looking for a great classic pair with the good rep the fuel cell is for. You, if you have any questions, let me know in the comments below if you liked this video hit the like button or the subscribe button thanks a lot.
