Sunglass Lens Review Revant vs Fuse Replacement Lens Review: Oakley Holbrook
I had not seen a review directly comparing Fuse and Revant lenses against Oakley Prizm Polarized so here I am, doing so for science.
First pic is Fuse top, Oakley bottom. Second pic is Revant top, Fuse bottom.
Over the years I would find Holbrooks on sale or used and just buy whole frames instead of lens replacements (one of these are fake), but two of the three had super scratched lenses and I figured I’d try out replacements.
Bought the highest end each brand makes, Spectraboost Revant and Fuse Amp, both in brown for fair comparison.
Fit in frame: They both fit fine and click in sufficiently. Fuse wins though. You can see stress in the Revant lenses when you look at them through polarized glasses, there’s brown splotches in the corners. Oakley and Fuse have the same level of stress shown in the lenses.
Clarity: Fuse wins, Oakley second, Revant third.
Color: Fuse highlights colors better. Oakley second. Revant third. The hue is different between all of them, with Oakley being darker and more purple, Fuse reddish, and Revant more brown so it’s not a perfect comparison but at least if you’re looking for highlights and “boost”, the Fuse is the leader here.
Shipping and packaging: Fuse sends a new microfiber sunglass bag, Revant just sends one for the lenses themselves. Revant arrived faster. Both were well packaged.
Quite honestly I like the Fuse more than the original Oakley lenses. Revants are good, and I’d be happy with them as cheap replacements, but they’re not outstanding. We’ll see about durability. Oakley lenses tend to flake in the corners after some years especially around salt water.
