I have ordered some customised Flak 2.0 , white arms with orange ear socks and prism ruby polarised lenses. For those of you in the military you can get 20% off through Defence Discount Services - not on sale items though
I'll give you a golf depot voucher. Is that okay? ??Based on this, I have ordered the same. Do you do refunds if I'm not satisfied?
Still a fail, sad to say ?Under Armour caps have to be L/Xl

The thing is, honestly, I don't have a Richard Osman head or similar. It must just be the circumference. The shame is I really like the UA caps but I can only get a cap that is adjustable so that rules them out. 1st world problem though ?maybe my heads not that fat then

I use Tifosi sunglasses for golf. I came across them at a PGA store in the States. Not as expensive as Oakley but still very good.

I had some tifosi glasses, also bought in the States.
Loved them.
Left them in locker room of some random club.

I don't have a fat head. It's just a lot of other people have small ones.

I have 28 pairs of Oakley sunglasses (for collection and investment). I only wear 3 pairs. What I can say is don't buy into this prizm rubbish. My skiing goggles are prizm and they are no different from polarised lenses. Maybe when the sun is really shining on uneaven snow I can detect a very small difference when I keep swapping between the two.
People that have prism glasses for golf and rate them are seeing things they "want to see" I guarantee they wouldn't tell if you swapped their lenses out for an equal quality set.
You don't need polarised lenses for golf. Just try on a load until you find the ones that suit your head. Oakley do very high quality frames (most of the time). But the lenses are utter garbage. Most Oakley freaks buy Oakley glasses and instantly swap out their lenses for aftermarket good ones.

Oakley Targetline are a great pair of golf sunglasses. They have interchangeable lenses (as most Oakley ranges do), and look decent when wearing them off the course too.

Not sure on prescription mate but all the Oakley knutts use "linegear" for replacement lenses. Revent optics are also good and much more friendly in the pocket
I've probably been a bit harsh on Oakley. It's just that upto 2005 they made quality everything. Then they produced utter tat in comparison to their old stuff. They still charge a premium though!!!!! Everyone reading this that has owned Oakley glasses with iridium coating will know what I'm talking about

I have the Flak Draft glasses with both the regular and dark prizm golf lenses. Very comfy and nice & light on my smaller than normal head

I have bought 3 pairs of Oakley prescription glasses from Boots. 1 pair for driving with clear lenses, 1 pair with Transition lenses for playing golf and a pair with Polarised lenses, all 3 have been excellent, wouldn‘t hesitate to replace with the same again if they were lost or damaged.
