help Oakley Sutro FAQ
Are Oakley Sutro sunglasses good for cycling?
Yes, the Sutro was specifically designed with a cycling-inspired shield silhouette that provides wide peripheral coverage and protection from wind, dust, and debris. Many cyclists pair the Sutro with Oakley's Prizm Road lens, which enhances contrast to help identify surface texture changes in the road.
What is the difference between the Oakley Sutro and Sutro Lite?
The standard Oakley Sutro features a full-frame shield design with a prominent upper rim, while the Sutro Lite trims down the frame for a lighter feel and less material around the lower edge. Both share the same lens shape and Prizm technology but differ in weight and aesthetic profile.
Can I get prescription lenses in Oakley Sutro sunglasses?
Yes, Oakley offers the Sutro with prescription lenses through their Oakley Authentic Prescription program available at authorized retailers. The shield frame design accommodates a range of prescriptions, though very high prescriptions may have lens thickness limitations due to the frame's curvature.
What Prizm lens options are available for the Oakley Sutro?
Oakley offers the Sutro with multiple Prizm lens options including Prizm Road (for cycling contrast), Prizm Black (for bright everyday conditions), Prizm Sapphire, and Prizm 24K depending on the frame colorway. Each Prizm formulation selectively filters light wavelengths to optimize contrast for specific activities.
