I exchanged mine for Gauge 8s. Why? The Holbrook XL suffers from internal reflections in bright light. You can reduce this with a cap but the light getting in from the top and sides causes annoying internal reflections on the lens. But the worst bit was the lower frame thickness. You walk about with a wide horizontal bar across your field of view. Just didn’t work for me at all. The Gauge 8s wrap the face and have much lower internal reflection and almost no visible frame due to the thin wire construction. They do however look cool. Just what you’re used to I guess.
Decent review brother! The side bars of glasses that go over the ears are called ARMS, not LEGS! 🤙😎 I hand crafted glasses with 1950’s machinery for many years under the Luxottica brand… they have a very strong hold on the market… They are nice & have some neat tech, but no Oakleys are worth $200.
Thank you for the close up detailed views. I have several Holbrooks XL and highly recommend them.
My favorite sunglasses by far also

Thanks bro. Arms not legs, got it.
Luxottica are very bad quality
Wow nice backyard!! 👍
Thanks
Stylish. I think I'd get Blue lenses
Sorry, but, is that the same Oakley tested model tested at 2:45 and after at 3:11? The glass look more like miror !!!
Background reflection.
Even the xl 59 doesn’t fit me
What color are the icons? Thanks!
It's darken out brushed nickel look.
the angle you look at can change, from matte black to chrome
Do these have a mirror finish on the lens?
No mirror finish. Gray tint for look.
These lens go awful in sun. Peels
I didn’t have that problem but it scratches easily. Probably can get replacement lens on eBay also.
