Oakley Holbrook Sunglasses Black Blue Frame Polarized Sapphire Lenses

Product Review (submitted on July 5, 2024):

Size is similar to wayfarers. The main feature, to me, is the lenses.

Got hooked on Serengeti sunglasses decades ago, because of how they made the world look. These are similar.

Ever read about a normie who becomes a vampire and is mesmerized by how vibrant the world looks compared to what they saw through dull human eyes? Don't expect that. But those sunglasses did make certain things - like the ocean and Soul Red Mazdas (red looks good) - look so vibrant that it became hard to wear any other brand. Those lenses were heavy, though. Real glass and higher quality, but heavy on my apparently weak face.

These days, lots of companies have lighter lenses that make the world more vibrant. Oakley's Prizm lenses do just that.

I just bought this 24k pair and a pair with grey Prizm lenses. The 24k blows the grey pair away with respect to how much better the world looks. The latter is nice, offering a subtler, more elegant change in vision. But for what I wanted - to see like a day-walking vampire at the beach - the 24k was the way to go.
