Today's lineup includes three staple Oakley frames. SportRx will compare: Oakley Gascan vs Fuel Cell vs Crankshaft. All three sunglasses look relatively similar, but they definitely have a few key differences. The Gascan is the original wraparound. Next came the Fuel Cell, which is basically a bigger Gascan. Lastly, the Crankshaft brings an updated look and comfort to this legacy! We also have comparison review of just the Gascan and Fuel Cell.
At this point, the Crankshaft has been discontinued but we also have comparison review of just the Gascan and Fuel Cell.
Oakley Gascan
Shop Oakley Gascan
The Gascan is designed with an O-matter material to ensure both a lightweight and comfort frame. The lenses on the Gascan were cut from a curve of a single lens shield to provide an unbeatable peripheral field of vision. The three-point fit design maintains a firm and comfortable fit. Oakley Gascan sunglasses are perfect for a stylish everyday look.
Oakley Fuel Cell

Oakley Fuel Cell in Matte Black with PRIZM Deep Water Polarized
Shop Oakley Fuel Cell
The Fuel Cell is designed for style, creativity and a unique look. This sunglass is very similar to the Gascan with a few distinct differences. It has the same O-Matter material and surpasses all optical clarity expectations. The biggest difference is that the Fuel Cell offers a bigger size. This allows for you big-headed guys to rock the loved Oakley Gascan frame, but in a proper size and look!
Oakley Crankshaft
Shop Oakley Crankshaft
The newest member of the family, the Crankshaft! This Oakley frame brings a more modern and fashionable style to the Gascan and Fuel Cell look. Crankshaft shares the same three-point fit, O-matter frame and optical clarity as the other two frames. Crankshaft also is extremely lightweight yet durable and makes a great every day frame.
*The Crankshaft has been discontinued by Oakley
