Oakley Gas Can Sunglasses
The Oakley Gas Can sunglasses are built to stare down the competition. Tough, lightweight O Matter frames will take the abuse of rough days on the track without flinching. Optically correct XYZ lenses ensure you'll stay focused on your opponents. The Gas Can exceeds ANSI standards for impact resistance, and the Plutonite lenses block all the harmful UV rays that could slow you down.
Bottom Line: The Gas Can keeps you running.

Oakley Gas Can

I got these sunglasses last summer, and they really did the trick. My only problem with them is they sometimes don't like to stay on my head when I am doing some activities, or even looking down. When they fall, my one lens tends to pop out too, so it was getting annoying. But it is a nice pair of sunglasses, by an awesome company.
Does anyone know what sunglasses oakley make for a small-medium
Does anyone know what sunglasses oakley make for a small-medium sized head? I have crosshairs which are just slightly too large.

Joker808 is wrong, gascans are pretty large. In your cases i would go for the gascan s, fives, flak jacket, or canteens. all of these models are on the smaller side, and should accomodate a smal to medium sized face.

Yes they are rated by Oakley to fit a medium to large head so it is Oakley's largest fit.

They do indeed fit a large head. I just bought the Gascan sunglasses for my husband and they look great. He has a wide face and sunglasses always look silly on him, too small. These are the first pair he tried on that looked perfect!

while i might be a 20 year old i pop my acu collar on the range but doesnt take away from the glasses. these sunglasses might not fit army regs but they sure look cool as hell. oakley managed to bring there edge and style to a world not affiliated with sport performance. $100 is a steal in my opinion, but so is $55 from a certain gov website. if you are on the fence about these jump off and get them. you wont regret the decision

What are the dimension on the gascan sunglasses do they cover up the eyebrows pretty good?thanks

they cover up my eyebrows completely w/out being huge or bulky .awesome shades
By: jacob thetford
May 20, 2009
dimensions are hard since these arent flat, but frames are 3.75 cm. tall at their tallest...and its 1.5 cm. from the bottom of the nosepiece to the top on the frame...and the glasses are 13.75 cm at thier widest point...also mine cover the very very bottom of my eyebrows, but my eyebrows are mostly visible

simply perfect glasses...clean styling, not over the top, not too big but not tiny elton john style either...modern frame shape bit easily a classic...and bombproof, theyve been stepped on and dropped on pavement and just put thru 3 years of torture, everywhere from campsites to resort snowboarding, and all there is to show for it is a few sratches on the lense and frame, they really should be in pieces, and if you buy here you can return them even if all you have is peices...cleanig is easy, the arms and lenses detach easily and can be cleaned seperatley...fits perfect on my 7 size head with miimal slipping, even while sweating and playing volleyball in the hot sun, and they just barley go up when i smile but thats normal for me...YOU JUST CANT GO WROG WITH THESE!

Gas Can Grey Frames Polorized Lenses

December 9, 2008
I've always been a fan of Oakley shades. I was able to get a pair of Gas Cans soon after they were available. Now, it seems every little teen or 20-something popped collar D-bag is wearing them. Mine still do the trick. They wear well while riding my sportbike.

First Pair of shades I liked, ever.
By: Justin Latessa
October 27, 2008
These were the first pair of shades I ever took a habit to wearing, in my whole life. The optics are great. Unfortunately some assbag snatched them out of my Jeep :(
I replaced them with a pair of polarized gascans I snatched off steep and cheap for the same price. The Polarized lenses are even better!
Are they available in prescription?

This is my first pair of Oakley Sunglasses and by far the best i have ever had.
I had Dragon Sunglasses(Cage model)

The Oakley Gas Can is the best for everything and still having style and function.

not for medium sized faces
By: idontknow
June 27, 2007
I loved the way these sunglasses looked on me, but they didn't work for me. The main reason was the plastic on the bottom under the lenses. It blocked my view if I tried to look down without tilting my head down as well. Also, the sides did not sit close to my face and while using them while riding my motorcycle the wind made my eyes water excessively. They just didn't work for me. Got the Gascan S and they are much better. Did not have either problem. The regular Gascan looked better, but the Smalls work better. I have a medium to large face, but the Smalls fit me just fine.

GREAT glasses for a wide face!
By: Anonymous
April 25, 2009
I recently purchased the Gas Can sunglasses for my husband. He has a wider face and it is very difficult to find sunglasses for him! We had tried several different styles before the Gas Can. The Twitch were too small, the Bruce Irons were too feminine looking. Finally we tried the Gas Can...PERFECTION! They fit a wide face well and they look great. We ended up getting the polarized lenses which are very helpful for driving in very sunny conditions. The arms of the Gas Can snap on and off, so it would be tough to truly destroys these. Great pair of sunglasses! Highly recommended!

well u see, the gascan is a small type shade for ppl with more small faces, but i think the oakley eyepatch sunglasses will suit someone with a larger or oval face.The gascans aren't for people with small faces, they are in fact rather large. I rock a XXL Giro and these shades fit me well.....yea bro...thanx for cuttin me down like dat...i see how it is...jpwell i wear a medium r.e.d. trace helmet, and these fit me great!

The Gascan is one of Oakley's best selling frames because of the new stylized look. I have a larger face and fits well but not as great as the Monster Dog or Half Jackets. Still is a great frame, and the color is very unique since it is discontinued and wasn't as popular or main stream. When wearing them the frame looks black with a hint of purple.

Yeah. I wear a 7 5/8 and it fits okay so 7 1/2 should be no problem.

I'm a big fan of Oakley stuff, that being said I've usually found that their sunglasses a really good for sports but not as stylish as I'd like. That's changed with the Gas Cans, these are really comfortable and stylish to boot. Done with the typical Oakley flair. Great glasses.
Gas Cans will fit under you motorcycle helmet!!!!

Looked for many sunglasses that work under the helmet with out distorting through the visor. These things rock.

Decent, but not what I expected
By: Anonymous
October 22, 2007
These Oakleys look great (obviously) and have a very good fit, but the hinges are crap. My glasses squeak and creak every time I open the frames. I don't use them for hiking so I don't see how sand would get in. I tried cleaning them but nothing works. This is unacceptable for the price that Oakley is charging.
Black Gascan's
By: pet2541350
December 9, 2008
I had been in the market for new sunglasses for a LONG time but could not find myself willing to spend the bucks for a nice pair. I finally found these out backcountry and took the dive. They fit me great and don't fall off when i move around. (i have a normal sized head) and they have excellent coverage. I highly recommend them.
Oakley Gascan Crystal BlK
By: Shervink241781311
July 17, 2008
These glasses look good and fit snug. The crystal black is more like a clear black. Its see through I didn't expect that. I thought it would be more of a gloss black. The picture for the crystal black is not at all what the frame of the glasses looks like. Otherwise its a sick pair of shades. I'm keeping them anyways. They come with iridium lenses that are much better then stock gray lenses.

Not a fan of shellin out a c note for sunglasses (they often fall victim to destruction of go missing), but I really like these shades. I know every popped collar d-bag is starting to sport them, but for an average outdoorsman, there are have great functionality as well as durability.
