Oakley Kato and Kato X Sunglasses | 6-Month Review

[Stryker11427]

I need a bike Will buy a nice gravel bike next summer I don’t care what people think either. I love them Katos! I sport them casually and while hiking

Hey man since you have both the Karl’s and the Kato Xs, would it be possible to post both of them on face? I can’t decide which one to get

I don’t have the Kato X. I have the Encoder and Kato. The Kato is just like the KatoX but the Kato has the nosebeak.

X pair in and my first impression is how much face it covers. It's bigger in hand than pictures led me to believe

There is some apparent care with how the bottom ends were designed under the delicate balance of getting as close as possible to the face without touching. Temples are touching while brow is clear. Nothing discomforting, just a bit weird, as the only things up to this point that would touch my brow/temple are upper rims/orbitals, if not the lens itself.

I think EV Zero wearers will like these if they were looking for something more solid. The brow and beak help a lot with torsional rigidity. A Flight Jacket wearer would probably also lean towards these as well.

Finally got to test out my KATO's! They are a little big for my face (need a KATO S version) but oh well, I still love them.

Very nice! if the Katos fit a little big the Encoders would probably be a great option! Enjoy!

What @WildWires said The Encoders are much smaller and have a great shield too.

I think they look awesome bro. Not too big at all. Those glasses always look good with a bicycle helmet. I’ll have to get a pair at some point.
