Oakley Sutro Lite Sweep Sunglasses
The Oakley Sutro Lite Sweep sunglasses are performance sport sunglasses built for road cycling, running and high tempo training. They suit athletes who want wide coverage, a secure fit and clear vision in bright New Zealand conditions. Ideal for long rides, race day and hard sessions on open roads.
This model combines the classic Eyeshade style lens shape with the trusted Sutro frame. You get strong protection, a stable fit and clear optics that hold up when the pace lifts.
Built for Road Sport in NZ Conditions
On the bike or on foot, vision matters. The Sweep lens shape gives extended peripheral coverage, helping you pick up movement, traffic and changes in road surface without turning your head.
The Prizm Road lens is tuned for road environments. It boosts contrast so you can better see painted lines, potholes and surface changes in harsh sunlight. That makes a difference on long summer rides across exposed coastal roads or open highways.
Impact protection is built in. These meet Oakley’s high standards for durability, so they handle flying grit, wind and everyday knocks in your kit bag.
Secure Fit That Stays Put
When you’re sweating or riding in humid conditions, slipping sunglasses are a distraction.
The O Matter® frame is strong yet lightweight, so you can wear them all day without pressure points. The earsocks are moulded into the temples for added retention, keeping the frame stable over rough chip seal or sprint efforts.
Unobtainium® nosepads increase grip as you sweat. The harder you work, the more secure they feel. That makes them well suited to racing, bunch rides and hard interval sessions.
