- I break down 3 brands of sunglasses (Oakley vs 100% vs POC). This video is supported by Competitive Cyclist, use code VEGANCYCLE15 for 15% off your first purchase here: bit.ly/2YnZsuY *Some brands excluded.
The breakdown of these 3 brands (Oakley vs 100% vs POC) is obviously super subjective as this is more about your personal taste. But I really try to talk about the performance of each glass vs their price and their popularity. I also try to show how the glasses improve the visual by overlaying a filter on the video. I am like, super proud of that part ;)
////POC ASIPERS & FULL BLADES @ 2:30
Price: 2/5 stars
Performance: 2/5 stars
Uniqueness: 4/5 stars
////100% Glendales & Speedcraft @ 6:30
Price: 3.5/5 stars
Performance: 4/5 stars
Uniqueness: 4/5 stars
////Oakley Surto & Wind Jacket @ 9:04
Price: 4/5 stars
Performance: 5/5 stars
Uniqueness: 1/5 stars
Full disclosure, I USED TO HAVE a deal with POC, they ended that deal a year ago. I tired to get a relationship with 100% but nothing ever came of that, and I am banging down the door of Oakley but havent got anything set up with them yet. So as this video was created, I have ZERO ties to the companies I mentioned here. I dont benefit from giving one a nod over the other, I have no sponsorship obligations to Oakley or 100% or POC.

You can wear any of those glasses to a wedding as long as a WWE couple is getting married.
JBratt or maybe stormtroopers wedding. Specially the B/W 100s.
Sam Greene Then you should wear a Giro Vanquish.
OH YEAH BROTHER!!!
OOOOOHH Yeeeeeaaah!!! Said Randy Savage...
🤣
I rarely re-watch videos and this happens to be informative & very engaging. great stuff Vegan Cyclist!
I like how you change the screen filter when you take the glasses off and on! Good review.
"I don't skip head day..." 12:26 🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That was the best!!! I really laughed at that one!
such a quality video thank you. great editing, filtering effects and content. and your speaking the absolute truth.
amazing review!, love the way you present each brand!
Love VC . Makes me reminisce of those old reviews!! Live it dude
VC you have more money in sun glasses than my bike costs!
I LIKE because this video is just genuinely well made. Even though its a simple concept. Essentially a shades review.
This is an excellent video. Production is top notch and the info is on point.
Great reviews.. I also love how much effort you put into overlays..
Decades of Oakleys! I still have my OG M-frames and still use them for the clear lens (really hard to get Oakley lenses for those now). Jawbreakers are okay, EV Paths are my go-to. Oakey's deep-sea blue polarized lens is the one I trust on bright days. I just got some Roka CP-1X on a whim, and I just have to say that they are surprisingly good.
Looking for cycling glasses and i came by your channel and I loooooove the way you did the comparison and reviews on each. OAKLEY it is!
Picked up a set of 100% S3 Sunglasses (Soft TACT Flume/HIPER RED Multilayer Mirror Lens) and they are as good as you said. Clear from edge-edge with great protection/performance. A good purchase, thanks for the review and recommendation.
man, the video editing is a 5 outta 5! So well made!
Man please please never take a break from making vids , its something i never thought i would need every week
Great video as always
I am, every day, working on a video in some fashion. Either filming, planning, editing...but they take a while to actually publish. I see no slowing down in the near future, only full gas.
@@TheVCAdventures Man you are amazing, honestly, your original video on how much training do you need to race crits is what got me into crit racing,
Btw bc I'm vegetarian the avocado toast saves my butt quite a lot
@@TheVCAdventures you meaan Fulllll Gazzzzzzzz!!
So far I love my Sutros, they have the 80s futuristic style design that I like. They protect my eyes very well, great vision too. Only complain is when shoulder checking the frame gets in the way a bit so you will have to get used to that.
I've been through Oakley, Uvex, Tifosi, etc. Rocking some Shimano S-Phyre X1's now that I got on sale. Work great for my face and what I need them to do. May go 100% next time around. Great video and glad I found your channel broski.
Another video that is as hilarious as it is informative. Keep ‘em coming please!
Sunglasses from KOO are awesome too, like the KOO Open Cube - a great option as well! With Zeiss lenses that doesnt "pop out" color filter wise
I'd like to see you do a review on some ROKA sunglasses!
I have a discount code for ROKA !!! 20% off with " ROKASAGE20 "
Fun fact, the Wind Jacket 2.0 was originally designed to be a light weight snow goggle that’s why it has the pad at the the top of the frame
First World Solutions: When Oakleys are the cheapest glasses in a comparison test.
and the best
meanwhile i'm trying to decide between the 5$ and the 15$ pair from AliExpress because that's all i can afford at the moment lol
@@sarahmarah that's like the price of a cup of coffee...
@@meme_enthusiast3021 where the hell do you pay 15$ for a cup of Coffee ?????
@@cedrics1220 he said $5
I'm rocking 100% S2: BWR Edition. I love them. I've ridden the Wafer 4 times. Awesome lenses. They seem more scratch resistant than Oakleys.
VC throwing SHADE (pun intended)
“Fix your MOON FACE” haha
Hahah ow man you are so funny dude! Once of the most funny, informative, straight to the point video i´ve seen so far.
Really liked the Review.. would love a review of your new Canyon bikes
Since I purchased the exact same bike at the very same time, I'd enjoy this bike review too !
Pit Vipers are my go-to for the wind coverage and wild looks, but the Poc ones look awesome too
I've got prescription glasses so I always struggled with sunglasses. When I first started riding, I was wearing contacts, but found that my eyes would be so bloodshot and dried out after a ride that it was unhealthy. That really limited my options on choices because I wanted prescription lenses. I ended up going with Oakly Flak Jacket 2.0, and I have been elated with them! One of the best purchases I've ever made.
I also have the same issue, and just purchased my first pair of non prescription sunglasses with the hopes of wearing contacts. Hoping my eyes will not get bloodshot. thanks for the info.
Same issue here, that's why I purchased/customized eyeglasses intended for cycling and outdoor activities/sports only but it can also be worn indoors, it's photochromic, have blue light lenses all that stuff.
But my first cycling shades have myopia frame in it. It can be installed with ur prescription lenses, but the struggle is there, the cleaning, ur eyelashes especially when they long & when they are sweaty they will have contact with ur lenses
This guy is so rad. Loved this review
i've been using oakley m-frames for the last 14 or 15 years now. i have two identical frames, so i have no idea which one i'm ever using, and between the two i just swap the same four lenses back and forth. wear on the lenses are starting to show, with little scratches and marks here and there, but otherwise the frames are just totally fine and flawless. they're absolute bomb-proof, the lenses and frames. i've seen all these new offerings around and your review just solidified my choice of sticking with oakley, as i've been looking to retire these and find something new.
You Nailed it! ...I found everything you said to be true as well. Good work!
Great video and great review, especially because it shows what view you have with the various lenses.
Really good, since with snowboard goggles I find myself uncomfortable would you recommend the Sutro as an alternative?. I follow you from Italy
Oakley hands down. You can literally get replacement parts for every single part of the sunglasses! I have had mine for 3 years and once in a while I visit my local oakley boutique and just replace everything but the frame. Total cost is always less than 80 :) . Just yesterday I did that :)
I never ride without sunglasses or clear shades, so I liked this video. I definitely need to upgrade my Sunglass Game though, seriously.
Just peeped that filter deal at 9:53, That's classic Bro!
Dude, you're friggin hilarious!
You should try some Pit Vipers for bonus style and respect points!
A wise man once said you can’t get into an enduro race without pit vipers or uglier
@@vannick4813 your comment is enduro racer approved.
This guy's got game! >> Subscribed!
Watched full video cus you are funny DUDE!! Lolol great content man!
Nice to see these glasses compared back to back. I've recently bought a couple of sunglasses (100% speedtrap, Oakley and POC amongst others) to find the best one for me. Funny enough i actually really like the lens of the POC half blade a lot. It is worth mentioning that you can buy Them with different categories of lenses (cat, 1, 2 and 3). Mine came with a cat. 2 lens, enough sun gets blocked for most rides and the colours Stay true, something I really like. For good sight with a low standing sun I would recommend a cat. 3 lens though (which also Comes gold coloured! :). the asking price of POC indeed is way to high, but some good deals can be found (got mine For 100 euros)
Great video! Might invest into a nice pair of Oakleys next year 👍
Appreciate the full disclosure.
Always been Oakley lover, lens tech always ahead of the field. Sunglasses are my fav accessory
My retirement is invested in new Oakleys every month... LOLOL
Shame they were bought out by that monopoly brand that owns all the sunglasses brands and make them in the east.
@@tbrowniscool Luxottica? Yeah, fuck them.
try Julbo or Evil Eye...
The first pair of sunglasses are made by Optic Nerve out of Colorado. They're called the Variants. Great glasses for everyday wear, but yes, not so great for higher speed/wind in the face or eyes conditions.
Windjacket 2.0 are actually snowboard/ski apres glasses/spring ski/snowboard glasses. That’s why they have the foam and come with straps in the bag. BUT for cycling I’ve found they don’t vent well and fog very quickly
Just bought the black sutros! Love them
Inspired by you for cycling and sunglasses. I own aspire as well... Great video...
I've always been a Oakley fan but the last two pair of jaw breakers I bought the film coating has peeled off one pair I had in the box for a year and when I googled it a lot of other people had the same problem since Oakley sold the company to luxotica Oakley manufacturers everything in China now not the US. I'm leaning more towards the 100% brand or Roka since I called Oakley and they offered me only $20 towards $100 replacement lens after all the years and glasses I bought from them.
VERY GOOD REVIEW MAN !!!!!!!
nice vid as always mate.. Agree about POC, Oakley is alway good too, but recently my new fav's are ROKA without a doubt. They are super light, stay on your face with superb optics. Get them to send you a pair...they will. Let me know if you need a contact... Hope to see you on our camp this week in CA, Calabasas is our base with Grayson...
Cheers
Andrew
As a triathlete I wear a pair of Roka's and I love them
Pretty sure Egan Bernal rocks the Oakley Sutro's. My friend got me a hook up so got a pair of EvZero Blades for like $55. They are SUPER lightweight and compared to my previous pair of sunglasses give me fantastic vision on the road.
Great review. Love Competitive Cyclist. Glad to see they're supporting you!
Code worked for Competitive Cyclist and I am a regular CC customer. Thanks @TheVeganCyclist
"Stuuuunting on 'em!" 😅
Love your content Vegan Cyclist...
I've always been a fan of Oakley mainly because their massive support of first responders and military through standard issue
Nice review 👍
“I don’t know what to say, fix your moon face.” 😂
Quite possibly the best comment in the history of TH-cam!
My like goes out for the editing!
The POC clarity lenses are significantly improved
Straight up funny ass dude. Haha I don't skip head day. Classic. Also, just picked up some sweet Oakley Sutro's. Best shades I've ever raced with.
This is why I lean towards mountain biking. When I roll up for a group ride no one gives a rip about who's wearing what sunglasses. Great content though!
Roll up to a MTB ride and every has the same shades, ya gonna feel a little dumb. But yea, MTB has lose dress code compared to road.
@@TheVCAdventures Have to admit, your team looks sharp rocking those sp2 kits. Time to upgrade my fashion game.
Out loud laughter when he nonchalantly throws, "I don't know what to tell you, fix your moonface."
+1 lmao
I live in Paris, and every cyclism shades will pass as goofy out of the bike anyway.
Personally I use the high end Van Rysel/ Decathlon glasses, with switchable lenses (one with slight yellow tint for low vis and a polychromic one for usual condition). They only cost 60 and are pretty good and ok looking.
when you roll up to the group ride and everyone got ur sunnies on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 BRUUUH dont kill me!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I just wear normal sunnies for riding. Seems to work pretty good, but I'd like to try some of these cycling glasses.
"Alone... in the mountains... with NO Instagram..." LMAO that shit was funny af 🚲🚲🚲
Snagged a set of 100% Speedcraft's a few months ago and have been very impressed with the optical quality and fit. BUT, the lens started to crack at the nose piece and outer holding tabs almost immediately and within 6-8 weeks had spidered more than half way through the lens towards the top. Not cool. After some back and forth with customer service they did agree to send me a replacement lens but of course they didn't have an exact replacement in stock so I had to settle for a lower tier lens. Haven't used them enough with the new lens to see if it happens again but it definitely has me questioning the purchase.
Thank you for reaffirming how dope I thought the Sutros would be, so glad they actually work and still look sick!
@SmithOptics is another stellar brand that has some killer designs, and kinda hit the price points on the friendlier side...
What’s the helmet you’re rocking for most of the vid?
Nice format. Prizm is for real!
Nice review. How do they fair regarding ventilation/fogging up in hot weather?
Fix your moon face is now my favourite insult,but it doesn't sound so cool in my Yorkshire accent. Great work as always
I’ve worn POC Aspire sunglasses for almost two years now, and I love them. Great lenses, super comfortable, and slick design. Don’t like the baroque look of Oakleys and while I love 100%, they’re a bit too big for my face. 😂
Which lens do you hav
Also do the big face blockers vent well so they don't fog up?
“I got a big head. I don’t skip head day” 😂💀
I just picked up a pair of Roka's CP-1x with the HC Fusion lenses. Love them. It was either going to be them or a pair of Oakleys. Thanks for the vid
He said, “I didn’t skip head day.” 😂🤣. Won the internet today.
"they [the oakley wind jacket] are very cycling specific" they are great for mtb and cycling, but have you not notice? They are actually skiing glases
Nice rewiev i have 5 oakley and i love it i have jawbreaker for enduro and airbrake for dh and the prizim is awesome.
Peter Sagan wears snow ❄️ goggles when off the bike. That definitely makes him a unique snow flake - especially at the Tour Down Under when it’s 44 degrees and he’s got snow goggles around his neck.
I have all the sunglasses u reviewed and I agree with you. The wind jacket 2.0 wins hands down
I could use your perspective on some budget glasses!
from now on i'm coming over here for cycling products reviews 😂
'I don't skip head day' hahahaha
Damn. Using Siroko boxes to overlay the sunglasses with no mention of Siroko. Siroko shade!
So....I had actually talked about them and added them to the video. But since Competitive Cyclist doesn't sell them, and they supported this video, they asked me to take that segment out.
Really like my Rapha Pro Team Arenberg. Lenses are okay, fit is rock solid, uniqueness 7/5. Especially now that they're discontinued.
White oakley jawbreakers with przim snow ( blue ) lenses
Great Stuff! looking to buy a pair of Sutro.
“Fix your moon face “😂😂😂
this guy is hilarious! He's says "How I visually see things"!
The current Poc Do blades and Do half blades use Carl Zeiss lenses and it makes a big difference with the previous do blades.
I don't skip head day LOL. Great video thanks, I think I'll get a pair of sutros
🤣😂"...I don't know what to tell you; fix your moon face"
SUBSCRIBED 👍🏽
Try Oakley's Prizm Road Black, they are amazing in both sunny and shady conditions.
Torege photochromic/poloroid sunglasses off amazon for $30. Somes with a soft and hard shell case and 3-4 lenses to swao out for different colors.
1:44 damn I was triggered 😳 by all the fingerprints and smudges on the lenses. Still thoroughly enjoyed the video! 😎
I switched from oakley to adidas. They are so good! I don't know why they haven't taken off.
Got the discount on the Sutros. Bam!
I don't even care about the sunglasses, I'm just here to watch *The Vegan Cyclist BRUH* I should do a running review like this on mine.
