Oakley Holbrook XXL vs. XL vs. Original: Which Size Is Right for You?
The Holbrook family offers four main sizes, and choosing the right one comes down to your face width and how much coverage you want. The XXL is the largest, followed by the XL, the standard 9102, and the smaller Holbrook S. Here's how the top three compare.
Holbrook XXL 9487: Maximum Fit and Coverage
The XXL features a 61mm lens width and 147mm frame width, making it the go-to choice for wider faces. If you've ever felt temple pressure from standard sunglasses, this is your frame. The 47mm lens height provides excellent vertical coverage, and the 143mm temples ensure a secure fit without squeezing. It's available in eight colorways with Prizm lens options including Deep Water Polarized and Sapphire Polarized. Starting at $174, it's priced competitively for the largest Holbrook option.
Holbrook XL 9417: The Middle Ground
The XL steps down to a 59mm lens width and 145mm frame width—just 2mm narrower than the XXL, but that difference matters on your face. It's designed for medium-to-large faces and offers 15 color options. The XL starts at $141.38, making it slightly more affordable. If your face width is around 145mm, the XL will fit well. But if you're closer to 147mm or have had issues with Oakley frames feeling tight, the XXL is worth the extra investment.
Holbrook 9102: The Original
The standard Holbrook has a 57mm lens width and 137mm frame width. It's the original Shaun White collaboration from 2010 and offers the most colorways (21+). Starting at $124.50, it's the most affordable option. But it's designed for average face widths. If you need the XXL, the standard Holbrook will feel noticeably small—common feedback from XXL buyers is that they wish they'd sized up sooner.
Our Recommendation
If you've struggled with sunglasses feeling tight, go straight to the XXL. The 2mm difference between XL and XXL eliminates temple pressure and provides better coverage. The XXL is also the best choice for anyone who wants maximum lens area for sports or driving. The XL works well for medium-large faces, and the standard 9102 is ideal for average widths. Measure your face width from temple to temple—if it's 145mm or more, the XXL is your best bet.
