Oakley Golf Sunglasses: See the Course More Clearly

Good golf sunglasses do more than block glare. They help you track the ball, judge distances, and read the green. Oakley is one of the most recognized names in sport eyewear, and the current selection includes the Half Jacket 2.0 XL with Prizm Dark Golf lenses, the Flak 2.0 XL with Prizm Daily lenses, and the Sylas with Prizm Polarized lenses.

Choosing a Prizm Lens

Oakley's Prizm lenses are tuned to boost contrast for specific activities. Prizm Dark Golf is designed for golf in bright sun, helping you pick up turf texture and the ball against the sky. Prizm Daily is an all-purpose lens for everyday wear. Prizm Polarized adds glare reduction from water and bright surfaces. If golf is the main use, start with Prizm Dark Golf.

Frame Styles

The Half Jacket and Flak are sport wrap frames that give full peripheral coverage and stay put through your swing. The Sylas is a lifestyle frame that works from the course to the clubhouse. The XL versions have taller lenses for more coverage when you look down at address.

Fit and Comfort

Your sunglasses should sit close to your face without touching your eyelashes or pressing on your temples. Make sure the frame does not block your view of the ball at address. Lightweight frames are easier to wear for four or five hours.

Sunglasses on the Green

Some golfers remove sunglasses to putt, while others keep a contrast lens on all round. Try both to see what helps you read breaks. For more on reading greens, see the Golf Guide's how to read a golf green, or compare other brands in the full selection of golf sunglasses.
