The Oakley Thurso is a men's sunglass built for golfers who refuse to compromise between performance and everyday style. Its sophisticated mixed-material construction transitions seamlessly from the fairway to daily life, while Oakley's Prizm™ Dark Golf lens technology sharpens contrast and deepens your read of every green. Whether you're tracking a drive down the fairway or stepping off the 18th hole, the Thurso delivers all-day comfort, secure fit, and razor-sharp optics in one refined package.
Oakley's Prizm™ lens technology is purpose-built for the golf environment. By fine-tuning the light spectrum transmitted through the lens, Prizm™ Dark Golf amplifies the contrast between fairways, rough, and greens — making subtle undulations and hazards far easier to read. With a Visual Light Transmission (VLT) of 22% and a rose base with a subtle silver mirror tint, this lens is the ideal choice for medium-to-bright and intensely sunny rounds, offering noticeably stronger eye protection than the standard Prizm Golf lens.
The Thurso frame pairs an injection-moulded O-Matter™ front — Oakley's stress-resistant thermoplastic that outperforms acetate in strength and flexibility — with ultra-lightweight C-5 alloy metal temples. The result is a frame that is thin, refined, and resilient enough to handle daily wear and active sport without ever feeling heavy or cumbersome on the face.
Unobtainium® is Oakley's proprietary grip material used in both the earsocks and nosepads of the Thurso. Unlike standard rubber, Unobtainium® increases its coefficient of friction when it contacts moisture — meaning the more you sweat during a round, the more securely the frame stays in place. This ensures consistent optical alignment regardless of conditions.
Designed with golfers specifically in mind, the Thurso's temples are shaped with a gentle hook at the tip and kept intentionally low-profile along their length. This allows the frame to sit naturally and comfortably beneath the brim of a golf cap or bucket hat, eliminating the pressure and awkward fit that standard sport sunglasses often create when worn with headwear.
