Oakley Style Switch and News Flash Sunglasses - REVIEW

Oakley definitely has a style all its own. Whether you’re hanging in your muscle car near Venice Beach or lounging on a cigarette boat in the middle of Lake Skaha, you can spot a pair of Oakley sunglasses from a mile away. Big, bold, brash – their tag line should read “When they’re on your face, they’re in their face.” It’s hard to believe that a brand with such audacious offerings as the “Flak jacket” and “Batwolf” had a humble beginning in the garage of Californian Jim Jannard 38 years ago. (He named the brand after his English Setter.) Jannard invested $300 of his own money to start the company and, interestingly, $300 will be just enough to buy you a pair of the Style Switch sunglasses that I’ll be reviewing in this article. Oakley also sent along a pair of the women’s polarized News Flash sunglasses, which a fellow reviewer took on. (Hey, I wasn’t about to walk around town with women’s sunglasses on.)
