The Oakley Encoder sunglasses have sat proudly at the top of our best cycling glasses for over three years. There have been many sunglasses which have challenged for the title, but the Encoder has shrugged them off with ease. 

Cyclingnews' Senior Tech Writer Will Jones said when summing up the Oakley Encoders, "I've had the opportunity to wear more or less all the best cycling glasses on the market, but when I'm not testing something new, the Oakley Encoders are the pair I always come back to. They hit a sweet spot of offering incredible optics, a brilliant field of view, and a combination of fantastic retention without becoming uncomfortable."
