The Oakley Minute Sunglasses deliver wrap-around protection like big ol' honkin glasses, but they do it in a more reasonably sized package. The clean, stylish lines of the Minutes work equally well complimenting your street clothes, power suit, or motorcycle jacket. The shatterproof Plutonite lenses have a glare-reducing Iridium coating and feature a tint that's ideal for bright conditions.

Bottom Line: For smaller faces intent on sporting big style.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Perfect fit...perfect security

By:
April 11, 2003

These shades are great... They fit perfectly for those of us with slightly smaller faces than the rest. I feel completely safe when wearing these things. Just today I was tracking a Jetta and had a rock fly up and hit my lenses. Not kidding you they didn't crack, or shatter and I got away with only a deep nick....which only adds character! Another great thing about these shades is that they seriously do get stickier on your ears and sideburns as they get wet. No more worrying about whether or not your shades will slip off when you're kayaking or riding your guts out! Great design and functionality!

Vacation Sunglasses

I love the Oakley Minutes. They are great because they never fall off so you can put them on and forget about them. I also love the wraparound style because it blocks sunlight from the side as well.

Nice Glasses, Bad Color

By:
July 26, 2004

I got a great deal on the Oakley Minute Sunglasses from Backcountry.com but the color was not what I expected. The powder colored frames are very light colored and more of a real pale baby blue. The photos on Backcountry.com and on the Oakley website made them seem a little more of a deeper blue. This isn't Backcountry's fault as it's an Oakley stock photo. The RMA service from Backcountry.com was easy and efficient and I will continue to shop here.

great glasses!

The sunglasses are the BEST! Small frame and close to the face, practically a pediatric size without the childish look. If you have a smaller type head/face this is the pair for you...

Black Oakley Minute Sunglasses

By:
February 7, 2005

I ordered these sunglasses for Christmas and use them every time I am driving to/from college or the gym during the day. They are very effective in helping block out the bright sun in Lubbock, TX. They are sleek, lightweight and easy to store away in the glove box. They are kept in the car.

The Perfect Shades

By:
October 31, 2005

I am currently deployed in Iraq and the sun is a killer. I was looking for a wrap-around pair of shades that would fit my face, not fall off during missions, and would protect my eyes from the harsh sun. The Oakley Minutes are a great. I could not have asked for a more perfect pair of shades! They’re definitely a recommended buy for anyone who wants a sporty pair of shades that are going to fit a small face.

Oakley Minute sunglasses

By:
March 4, 2005

I am very happy with the Minute sunglasses. Very cool wrap-around look. The Nike (wire frame) sunglasses I previously had, kept slipping off my shaved head when not in use and did not convey the "look" I wanted. Conversely, the Oakley sunglasses never do. Ever since I shaved my head 6-7 years ago - I frequently received comments that I looked like Vin Diesel or David Justice (former Atlanta Baseball player) . . . and, the Minute sunglasses only increase those types of positive comments. In short, these are the best pair of shades I have ever owned.

Great Sunglasses

By:

These are my second pair of Oakley Minute sunglasses. I had to buy new ones because my first pair broke after 4 years. They are excellent sunglasses and I will buy them again.

Awesome sunglasses

By:
January 17, 2007

The Oakley Minute sunglasses are great. The optical clarity is excellent. They fit small to medium sized faces. They're all plastic but hold up well. My first pair lasted several years and when they broke Oakley repaired them quickly and cheaply. When I lost them I immediately bought another pair.

Great Buy

By:
April 5, 2006

The Minute sunglasses are one of the best buys you can get. They work great with my everyday activities but they don't go too well with a Kevlar helmet when out training or in the field. It is a must get for the everyday outdoor person.

Face First

By:
August 10, 2006

I needed a dependable pair of shades for running. I liked the idea of trying glasses that are specifically made for smaller faces, since my own face is thin and narrow, and I normally have to buy kid-size head gear to get a decent fit. I am totally pleased with the Minute glasses. They fit my face perfectly and stay in place, even when I sweat. I bought the color called polished rootbeer and really like the slight amber tint of the lenses. I find most other lenses to be too dark. Overall these Oakley sunglasses are a great product at a great price.

Minute Oakley Sunglasses

By:
September 13, 2006

Just wanted to say that I've gotten a few pair of "joakleys" in the past and I've HATED them. They’ve been poor quality despite their similar resemblance to genuine Oakleys. These sunglasses however are high quality and I love them! They were worth the money I paid for them. And if I lose these you can guarantee I’ll be buying another pair from this site. Thanks guys!

Oakley Minute Sunglasses - Code Blue

By:

These sunglasses have been a great buy. I wear them for running and general outdoor activities and find they have a perfect shade tint to them, they stay firmly on your head even when doing intense exercise and they look great.

Best fit for me. Super secure.

By: Backcountry.com Employee
February 6, 2008

After 10 years of having my Minute polarized glasses, I needed a new pair and settled for the non polarized version. These glasses are a great fit for my medium to small face. They provide great security while doing any number of activities like skiing, biking, rock climbing and others. And they are very secure on my face and do not move. The provide awesome coverage from the sun. They really wrap around my face for a nice fit. Oh yeah, they look awesome as well.
