Spot The Fake Oakley Frogskins Sunglasses

Are you surprised that Oakley Frogskins Sunglasses are often faked? You shouldn’t be. Every luxury item has a counterfeit versions out on the market. In this article we’ll take a look at some ways to insure that the Oakley Frogskins Sunglasses you buy are the real deal.

A common mistake that the unauthorized replica makers of Oakley Frogskins Sunglasses commit is that they put a sticker on the lens. It may even look real with the right logo and text and actuall say “Genuine Oakley”. However real genuine Oakley Frogskins don’t have a sticker on them at all. Not on the lens, not even on the frame unless they’re prescription frames only available through a licensed optometrist.

Speaking of the lens, real Oakley Frogskins Sunglasses have the brand name etched into the lens. Replicas are typically screen printed and occasionally this isn’t even done properly.

Another common trait of fake Oakley Frogskins Sunglasses is on the arms. Fakes most often use painted on lettering rather than raised on inset lettering. However, some Oakley models vary from this so you’ll need to check by both model and year to confirm this.

The last characteristic of fake Oakley Frogskins Sunglasses that we’ll discuss is the nose piece and the ear cushions. On the genuine article they have a soft and sticky feel due to the quality of the material used. Replicas often have cheap plastics that are hard and smooth.

I hope this article has given you some information on how to avoid fake Oakley Frogskins Sunglasses. As always, use common sense and take your time to check the facts and you’ll find bargains rather than rip-offs.
