Reader beware, you’re in for a scare…are you sure that those oakley eyewear that you’ve just bought authentic? A good bargain price does not necessarily mean that the sunglasses(Half Jacket & Radar Path) are the original branded stuff. To avoid being duped by swindlers who pass on fake Oakley shades as originals, here are 5 simple steps that you should follow:
Step 1
The words “Made in U.S.A” should be embossed on the inside arms of the sunglasses. Depending on the style of frames, the words can be engraved or painted. Remember, original Oakley Sunglasses are manufactured in USA, not in China or Taiwan.
Step2
Go to the official Oakley website and compare the colors of your Oakley frames to the ones shown on the company site. Original Oakleys come in neutral metal tones and can be easily recognized whereas the frame colors of knockoffs would be a shade lighter than the authentic ones.
Step 3
See the Oakley logo on the nose piece of the frames? Take a pencil eraser and rub it slowly over it. If they are fake the logo will gradually wear off else it’ll stay put.
Step 4
The next step is to check and feel the quality of the sunglass frames. True Oakleys are made from high quality durable metals and plastics, therefore they are a tad heavier than fake versions which are crafted from cheap plastics and metals. So make sure you don’t buy light weight models.
Step 5
Last but not the least, look at the “O” symbol at the base of the sunglasses frames. Now even if the paint is slightly worn off, authentic Oakley shades will have a raised lettering of the symbol. If you can scratch them off then they are fakes for that indicates the screen printing technique used.But if you are lucky,you also can get cheap oakley sunglasses in original.
