Oakley Eyeglasses FAQs

Are My Oakleys Genuine?

What are some indicators that you're buying the "real deal" when you get your hands on a new pair of Oakleys?

1. Price – If the price seems too good to be true, well, you know how the saying goes. Genuine Oakley glasses are sturdy, durable, high-quality eyewear, so be wary of any "deals" you find. Incredibly cheap or heavily discounted Oakley glasses are likely fake.
2. Quality of the Frames – Oakley glasses should feel sturdy, with no loose parts or flimsy pieces. Genuine Oakley frames are quality made, with sturdy, pre-dyed plastic. In most cases, if the color is painted on the frames or there's a color discrepancy when you fold the temple arms to look at the hinge area, they're fake.
3. Quality of the Lenses – The Oakley "O" logo should not be on the lenses of non-prescription glasses. Oakley occasionally releases special edition frames with words or emblems etched—not painted—on the lenses, but the O symbol has never made an appearance on the lenses. Oakley lenses may include a static cling "P" to indicate polarization, but this label would not contain any adhesive that may damage the lenses.
4. Problems with the SKU – Your glasses should also include an item number, or SKU, printed on the inside of the temple arm. Recent editions are longer and start with a double 'O'—the letter, not a zero. It should include four numbers, a dash, and then two more numbers. The only exception is Oakley's Asian Fit, which has a five-number sequence followed by the letter J. You can search online for the item number. If it doesn't exist or matches a different pair of glasses, you know it's a fake.
5. Quality of the Packaging – Make sure the fonts and logos on the outside packaging match the glasses as well as the leaflet insert. The label on the box should include a barcode, style name, and description. Your Oakley glasses should also come with a certificate of authenticity and warranty card. Be wary of products without any packaging. Oakley glasses are shipped with a dust bag or case to protect them. The logo stitching should be neat and uniform and the material should have a smooth finish. Your glasses may be counterfeit if the cloth bag is missing or poor quality.
