Product Information

Full details

The Oakley Masseter sunglasses are ideal for style-conscious adults seeking a blend of retro-inspired aesthetics and modern optical performance. These sunglasses provide a sophisticated look with high-wrap protection that effectively blocks peripheral glare, making them excellent for outdoor activities and daily wear. While their distinctive high-wrap, rectangular lens design offers a unique silhouette and superior coverage, potential users should note that the aggressive styling is specific to those who prefer a bold, '90s-era aesthetic over traditional understated frames.

FAQs

What does Prizm technology do?

Prizm is Oakley's proprietary lens technology designed to fine-tune vision by emphasizing colors where the eye is most sensitive to detail, resulting in improved contrast.

Are these sunglasses suitable for sports?

While the Masseter is lifestyle-oriented, the high-wrap design offers excellent coverage suitable for light outdoor activities, hiking, and driving.

Can I replace the lenses?

The Masseter features a deep-set lens groove. It is recommended to contact Oakley support or an authorized dealer for authorized lens replacement to avoid damaging the frame.

How do I store these when not wearing them?

Use a dedicated hard-shell case to protect the 8-base curve from being crushed or warped when not in use.

What is the 8-base lens curve?

The 8-base curve refers to the degree of 'wrap' the lens has; a higher base number indicates a more curved lens that wraps closer to the face for better peripheral protection.

Troubleshooting

Fingerprints or smudges on the lenses

Gently clean the surface with the provided microfiber bag using circular motions.

Frame feels too tight or loose

Because the Masseter uses a specialized high-wrap frame geometry, ensure the temple arms are resting securely above the ears. If discomfort persists, consult an authorized Oakley optician for professional adjustment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior peripheral glare reduction due to high-wrap geometry
  • Prizm technology provides industry-leading color and contrast enhancement
  • Durable build quality consistent with Oakley's performance heritage
  • Distinctive retro-futuristic aesthetic inspired by 90s design
  • Provides expansive field of view with the rectangular lens shape

Cons

  • Bold, aggressive styling may not suit all face shapes
  • High-wrap design can limit compatibility with certain prescription inserts
  • Specific purple colorway may be less versatile than neutral tones

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Oakley Masseter sunglasses, follow these best practices:

  1. Cleaning: Always use the provided microfiber bag to clean the lenses. Avoid using paper towels or abrasive cloths which can scratch the Prizm coating.
  2. Storage: When not in use, keep your sunglasses in a protective case to prevent impact damage or lens scratches.
  3. Care: Rinse lenses with lukewarm water and mild soap if they become covered in sweat, salt, or dust. Avoid exposing the frames to extreme temperatures, such as leaving them in a hot car, as this can affect frame integrity.
  4. Compatibility: The wrap design is intended for standard adult facial proportions. Check for temple clearance if wearing under specific styles of helmets.
