Replica Oakley sunglasses

[Doyleyburger]

Seen lots of these replica Oakley sunglasses being praised on youtube lately but bit nervous of buying online from China etc. Has anyone had any experience and can advise what site best to buy from
Cheers

I got some off eBay and they snapped. Terrible quality. Got some genuine Jawbreakers now, they are fantastic. Save up and get the real deal.

The frames are of a lesser issue compared to the lenses. The real frames and lenses ones are pretty cheap if you shop around or buy secondhand.

I have some by ln bike, and although they look similar, they arent badged as Oakley. They have been spot on the last two years ive had them

Depends if you just want the label even if fake for the cheapest price or actual proper eye protection I guess

Or Choakleys to go with the Chinarello

I would be careful, lenses that offer proper UV protection are OK. Some of the junk from China is basically tinted perspex and have the unfortunate quality of actually increasing the harmful UV rays into the eye.

I had a pair. Think I got them on EBay they looked the part, but the lenses were not good.

The In Bike ones are UV rated and i generally just use the coated clear lens with RX inserts for my prescription.

Just ordered a pair of Foakleys from Ali Express. Cheap as !
Will have to see the quality when they arrive .......this time next year !

The ones I got came with a case, five lenses and spare nose and ear pieces. They have been in three crashes and survived. Some are rubbish though. Ive bought Oakley in the past and had the frames snap despite kid glove treatment.

You could look for Bolle Safety glasses. They come in clear and tinted and a range of styles. They are UV rated and designed for impact resistance.
