Comparing 3 Styles of Single Lenses Styles

[paisios33ad]

I used to own a pair of Oil Rigs, I was looking into picking them up but they look discontinued and I really enjoyed them. I see some on ebay, but I also came across two other styles, Turbine Rotor and Batwolf. They all look pretty similar...

Can someone breakdown to me the differences between the Oil Rig, Batwolf and Turbine Rotor?

aboard Brother.

I’m going to try and guide you the best I can.

I know there’s certain numbers like 2 weeks before you can buy or sell here.

But I will ask 2 members that helped guide me in my early months.
@cacatman and @Tomcat14
Would have the threads here for newcomers requirements.

The one I’d suggest for your turbine Comparisons would be @LambertDad1976. He’s got more than a couple pairs.

The other suggestion would be

O-Review

Reviews, information, forum and a fairly comprehensive database of all that is oakley.

Good Luck with your quest Brother.

Having both batwolf and turbine rotor, I can say that the lenses are very similar in shape and size with batwolf being slightly larger. The batwolf is more of a lifestyle model where as the turbine rotor is a sports/performance model with unobtainium nose pads and strips that run the length of the ear stems that hold them in place very well. Both models have removable icons for customization. I definitely prefer the turbine rotors and own several dozen of them.

Figured I’d go ahead and start a collection thread, lots more to come!

This is my collection of turbines including rotors, I’ve acquired many more rotors since the last update. I hope it gives you some ideas.

Bat wolf is the clear/ice lense pair on bottom right, the rest above it are rotors.

Appreciate the help Brother. Figured you’d be the best suggestion for this.
