  • I never thought I'd get real mountain biking glasses, let alone Oakley's. Luckily, I got in on a CyberMonday sale and got the Oakley Sutro S glasses with Prizm Trail Torch technology. The Trail Torch technology is specific to mountain biking in varying light conditions and highlights the trail and its features. The Sutro S is made for smaller heads, hence the S in the name. Overall, my experience with the Sutro S has been quite positive. Hope you enjoyed listening to me ramble.

    Is there a way to determine what size I need to get? I can’t find a size chart anywhere

    Do you find them too dark when mountain biking in the woods? Considering on getting a pair of these but where I ride the trees are pretty dense and not a lot of sunlight comes in.
    Thanks

      They definitely darken the trail a bit, but I ride with a lot of tree cover and I find it to be fine.

    Nice review, thx! Also, what is your experience with prizm trail lense, does is do anything compared to other glasses?

    • @VentureMTB
      @VentureMTB  Před 3 lety +3

      The only comparison I can make is to Smith’s ChromaPop technology. The ChromaPop definitely darkens the trail a bit more than Prizm Trail. They both do really well at increasing the contrast on the trail though

    I run in palo duro canyon in Texas it’s mostly sunny very bright conditions on dirt of course do you think the trail torch would be beneficial in that environment or would you recommend different lenses ?

    • @VentureMTB
      @VentureMTB  Před 2 lety +1

      I like them in sunny open conditions, any significant shade makes it a bit dark. For your application I think the trail torch lenses would work well.

    I have eye glasses myself. Can you put your prescription in these? I don't wear contacts which is why I ask.

    • @VentureMTB
      @VentureMTB  Před 3 lety +2

      Unfortunately I do not think you can put prescription lenses in these

    What size helmet do you wear? Don't know if I should go for the S or regular Sutros

    • @VentureMTB
      @VentureMTB  Před 2 lety +1

      My Giro Fixture is a Universal fit, but I believe my other helmets are mediums

      I have a small head. Bought Sutros, they fall off of my face when riding.

    these glasses are good for people with eyes close together?

    • @VentureMTB
      @VentureMTB  Před 3 lety +1

      I would say they are better for people with eyes close together.

    wearing goggles just trail riding is awful idk how you did that. it's too much climbing and too Hott to use goggles or a full face trail riding. if you're riding a park and have a lift then sure go for it, I do. but for trail riding glasses and a half shell are a must. the only option really.
