Fake Oakley manufacturers go to the length of claiming that today perhaps the only difference between a set of fake Oakleys and a pair of original Oakleys is that the former lenses are not Ultra Violet (UV) rays protected, while the originals are. This is because treating sun glass lenses with the UV coating is an expensive procedure.

Be it finesse, balance, sturdiness the fake Oakleys compete with the originals in every department. In fact one problem which plagues Oakley sun glass fans now is that the difference between the orinial Oakleys and fake Oakleys has diminished so much that it is has become exceedingly difficult to discern between the two.

But there still exists a section in the fake Oakleys market, which cater to the extreme bottom rung of the market which sell fake Oakleys so cheap that they are forced to completely compromise on quality.
