Oakley Enduring Sunglasses Review

What To Look For

Oakley Enduring sunglasses are designed to provide top UV and sunlight protection for female athletes. These sunglasses provide a snug fit so that they will not bounce or slip during extreme athletic activities. They have interchangeable lenses, impact resistance, streak-free lenses and the ability to stay on your face no matter how much you sweat. They also come with a customizable nose grip for the perfect fit. The large lenses protect against sun exposure through peripheral vision. The frames come in pink, black, white and gray, depending on where you buy them. Lenses can be black, pink or blue.

Common Pitfalls

There are no real problems with these glasses. One slight downfall is that the lenses are stiff. They can break if too much external pressure is applied to the ear pieces, causing them to snap off. Another problem with these glasses is that a neck strap is not included. The Enduring glasses are also more expensive than some women may wish to pay. What's more, the gripping feature can cause headaches after several hours of wear due to the extra pressure the glasses put on the face.

Where To Buy

Purchase Oakley Enduring sunglasses wherever Oakley sunglasses are sold. The original Oakley store and Oakley.com sell the glasses at retail value. Some other stores, such as Backcountry.com, may sell some older models at reduced prices. Amazon.com is another excellent place to find discounted Oakley Enduring sunglasses. Take care when purchasing Oakley glasses from unverified locations. Some retailers will sell a knock-off version of the glasses rather than the real pair. When in doubt, purchase the glasses from an official, authorized retailer.

Cost

Oakley Enduring sunglasses for women are fairly pricey, but not extremely expensive. The retail value for the glasses is $180, but with discounts, sales and coupons, the price can be reduced to about $120. Sometimes it is possible to find discontinued colors for a lower price on discount sites, too. Occasionally, Oakley will offer discounts or coupons for their stores, which can help lower the price.
