Cheap Oakley Mercenary review: with Prizm Golf Lenses, these sunglasses will change how you see the course

I have also recently reviewed the Henrik Stenson Iceman 3.0 golf sunglasses so that was a useful comparison tool when I took the Mercenarys for a spin. You can’t go wrong with either of these products but they aren’t exactly the same. The main difference is in the lens and how they affect colour and contrast. I found that the Iceman 3.0 just takes away glare and makes things a little less light, whereas the Prizm lens in the Mercenary noticeably enhances colours and changes the contrast.

On the golf course I loved how the Prizm lens performed. The contrast makes it so easy to see the ball in-flight and also on the fairways and green. I also liked that the lenses were large enough to cover more or less my entire field of vision. Sometimes if they are a little short it can be distracting but the Mercenary was a nice fit for golf.

The colour and contrast enhancement from these lenses is really noticeable and especially so when viewing a smartphone screen. The difference between looking at a screen with and without the Mercenary sunnies on is like the difference between standard TV and High Definition.

The most impressive aspect for me though was how the Prizm lens differentiates between different shades of green. This was highlighted for me not on the golf course, but in my Dad's front garden! 

I was wearing the glasses while driving and as I pulled up the driveway I noticed the front lawn looked very patchy and yellow. Yet when I removed the sunnies it was barely noticeable. I put them back on and the difference was startling. Oakley say these lenses will separate the different shades of green and they absolutely do.

Having read some reviews online there seemed to be quite a bit of negativity surrounding the nose piece, with plenty of customers complaining that it fell off within a few weeks. Personally I found there to be no issue there whatsoever, but it is something to be aware of because, unlike with some other sunglasses you cannot buy replacements if they do fall off and you lose them. Just something to consider, but like I say, I haven’t experienced any such problem.

OAKLEY MERCENARY - VERDICT

You can’t go wrong with any of the Oakley golf range if you go with the Prizm lens, but the Mercenary are a fine choice as they are at the less expensive end of the scale. The added bonus is that they do not specifically look like sports specific glasses and that versatility makes them an ideal choice in any social situation.

Oakley's For Cheap samurai-inspired running shades will help you train like a god

Oakley’s latest frames are named after a Greek god, and they’re worn by some of the world’s most divine athletes. The fetching Xeus sunglasses that made their debut at the 2020 Olympics are making a much-welcomed return this week, and they may just be the final piece for your perfect running fit.

SAMURAI SPECS — If you’re used to the cool minimality of Ray Ban’s aviators, Xeus may look a little daunting. The clunky specs were first released to commemorate the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, with the design taking inspiration from traditional kabuto helmets worn by Japanese samurai. A black and gold version kicked off their debut, but the upcoming iteration features a dual-tone black and silver finish with hits of Oakley branding.

O Matter frames are ventilated to allow for proper airflow during your run and are complemented by an aerodynamic upper brow bar, which features the Oakley logo front and center. A PhysioMorphic Geometry structure allows the glasses to provide just the right amount of coverage without being too heavy. Alt Iridium, Oakley’s proprietary tint and molecular anti-glare coating, is fixed into the lenses along with the usual Prizm technology. Prizm grants the wearer the ability to see color and contrast in a higher definition despite the light-blocking lenses.

Having been tested and approved by sprinters Kevin Borlée and Andre de Grasse during the Tokyo Summer Olympics, the frames are all but guaranteed not to slip off your face as you move. Unobtainium, Oakley’s patented material, covers the nose pads and earsock grips to keep them in place whether you’re sprinting or strolling.

KING OF EYEWEAR — Oakley has some of the highest-performing and most futuristic-looking frames in the game. Built to appeal to a wide range of uses and activities, almost every pair has led an athlete to victory. Olympics aside, the Sub-Zero iteration revamped one of its heritage styles with new tech last year and the Overthetop specs from 2020 are exactly as its name suggests.

Oakley’s silver Xeus sunglasses will hit the brand’s website on July 15. You certainly don’t need to be a gold-medal athlete to enjoy what the glasses have to offer, but sometimes you do need a god-like, warrior strength to make it through that last mile.

Oakley’s Cheap Sale OVERTHETOP "Precious Mettle" Shades Can Be Yours for $7,000 USD

Oakley, known for its athletic eyewear since the mid ’80s, first debuted the OVERTHETOP “Precious Mettle” in the 2000 Summer Olympics and was worn by Trinidad & Tobago’s Ato Bolden in the Men’s 100-meter dash where he won silver. From there, the shades have been part of a number of historical style moments. Bolton remembers Oakley as a “a fun company to be associated with because they were always trying to push the envelope, get stares, and get people to think differently about what eyewear could look like.” The sunglass company has been seen on iconic figures like Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman and actor Brad Pitt.

The newest OVERTHETOP pair from 2020 was crafted out of 100% “O Matter” and ​​created from the 2000 model’ original mold. It features the same cyborg-style design that fits over the top of the head rather than around it, eliminating the pressure points and bounce created by the force of running. While the original design came in a metallic chrome finish, the updated version which dropped in 2020 in honor of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, comes in gold and bronze. Recently appearing on talk show host Kerwin Frost and Swedish golfer Jarmo Sandelin, the shades live on through the digital ages and continue to command the attention of many.

You can get your hands on a pair for $7,000 USD through consignment shop, Justin Reed.

Oakley Encoder sunglasses for cheap on 2022

At £204 these are more expensive than many alternatives, including other glasses from Oakley. For example, all of the Oakleys I mentioned earlier are cheaper: the Flight Jackets are £194, the EVZero Blades are £149, the Radar EVs are £167, and the Sutros are £140. The fact is, from a functionality point of view the Encoders offer no real benefit over any of them. ..........Read full article

Oakley Kato sunglasses for cheap review

I’ve used Oakley’s Prizm Road lenses for a number of years in my own Jawbreakers before giving the Katos some testing. They are in my eyes (pun intended) the best all-round lens for riding in terms of clarity, and range of use. My first couple of rides were in bright sun, where they were plenty dark enough to cope with no squinting. What really struck me though is how well they cope with low light; even in heavily overcast days, or twilight urban riding, the lens provided an ample contrast boost and I could continue wearing them later into the day than I would with other lenses, such as my Prizm 24k (shiny gold) Oakley Sutros - It was similar to riding a pair of orange-tinted glasses but without the faff of having swap. ..........Read full article
