OIL RIG Sunglasses When we created our premier OIL RIG, we put an embargo on conventional thinking and made fossil fuel out of ordinary designs. This latest edition comes with redesigned stem architecture that puts the icon of innovation in the crosshairs of dimensional grooves. Art meets attitude in a sunglass that carries a single continuous lens across contours of lightweight O MATTER® frame material. Our unique geometries curve the frame so even medium-size faces get a precise fit that doesn’t stick out at the sides. The sculpturally integrated hinges are engineered with dual cam action, and the linear ear stems provide a comfortably secure grip. HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) takes advantage of POLARIC ELLIPSOID™ lens geometry to maintain clarity while curving the lenses for optimal side protection and extended peripheral view. Our PLUTONITE® lens material filters out every ray of UV, and both impact protection and optical precision meet ANSI Z87.1 standards. Multiple lens options are available including IRIDIUM® lens coatings that balance light transmission and reduce glare, and you can get Oakley polarization that removes 99% of eye-straining glare without the haze and optical distortion found with ordinary polarized lenses. For truer color perception in bright sun, choose the Warm Grey, Black IRIDIUM® or Grey Polarized lens. The Grey lens is optimized for medium-bright sun. For enhanced visual contrast that boosts depth perception in bright sun, get the Tungsten IRIDIUM® or Bronze Polarized lens. Comfortable fit on medium to large faces via extended wrapped frame geometry Precision and durability of sculpturally integrated hinge mechanisms with dual action CAM Durability and all-day comfort of lightweight, stress-resistant O Matter® frame material Integrated sculptural metal icon accents Optimized peripheral view and side coverage of Polaric Ellipsoid™ lens geometry Optical precision and impact resistance meet or exceed ANZI Z87.1 optical and basic impact standards UV protection of Plutonite® lens material that filters out 100% of UVA / UVB / UVC & harmful blue light up to 400nm Maximized clarity at all angles of vision with patented Oakley XYZ Optics® Glare reduction and tuned light transmission of Iridium® lens coating (optional)

Pros: sickest looking shade that oakley makes Cons: fits too loose
I've owned the Oil Rig for almost a year now. They look really cool, however they don't fit me very well. I have a smaller head, so they tend fall off, when I look down. There very annoying to wear because I have to push them up my nose constantly.

These shades look killer, are very light, fit great & weren't too bad on the wallet. I wear these all day, everyday, sometimes forgetting they are even on.
The drawbacks are the size of the arms being so wide they make me sweat on the sides of my head. I have oily skin so the inner arms are always oily. The other is getting a raccoon tan or so I call it. When you wear them out all day and get a tan it leaves some serious wide tans lines making your eyes look like a raccoon.

The Rig Rattles Around
Date: July 16, 2009
Pros: No glare Cons: Uncomfortable, Fogs up
The design is very bold, unique but the frame doesn't fit well. Not suitable for outdoor or extreme sports as it rattle around a lot.

Best fitting sunglasses I've ever owned. I ordered the custom with camo frame and the ice lense. So impressed with the look and feel of these glasses.

Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare
I own the custom Oil Rig with the clear frame and Ruby Iridium lenses. The glasses are a little large for the average face, but these Oil Rigs gives you that "Rock Star" look that just can't help to turn heads. These sunglasses are light weight and come with the best protection and optics that only Oakley provides. With all the custom options that you can get on these sunglasses you might not stop at just one purchase!

Brown Oil Rig
Date: June 28, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare Cons: fogs from time to time but not to bad.
This being my 3rd pair of oakley's following "The Valves" "The Gascan". Solid pair of glasses feel sturdy don't slip much unless your sweating a lot but that's a given. Mine are this color but with the gold O instead of the black. I love them and highly recommend them.
