    Oakley's are okay, although I much prefer the Rudy Projects. Frames are definitely better made than the Oakleys, and the lens is excellent, and slightly thicker too, whether that's significant or not.

    I like the Rudy Projects frames but the lenses aren't quite right in temrs of their shape. I've yet to find a pair of glasses that competes with the m-frame heater lens for function.

    Well I've tried Tifosi glasses and didn't like them and I just wear cheap glasses at the moment, the ones that come with 3 different lenses. Thought I would give Oakleys a go. Will also take a look at Rudy Ps as well thanks.

    I would have to totally diasagree on that one, IMO Rudys lens are no where near the quality of oakley , the frames i had were also sub oakley standard

    I have used Oakley since the Mumbo - model just before M - Frame. They do look cheap (and oakley have a factory in ireland and I have heard they cost only a couple of quid to make), but Oakley pricing, well that's another story. I haven't used any other Oakley models, but I find the M - Frame excellent especially optical clarity and fit. I have yellow( cheer you up on a dull day), clear, and orange lenses. I had the M-Frame Pro also (until some scumbag nicked it), which has no hinge. The fit on them is a bit better, they are more awkward to store.

    M-Frames are great for running too. I find the heater lens offers the best protection. If you just want to wear them around town and don't want to look like an extra in a terminator movie, the strike lens is pretty ok looking.

    Due to the high price of oakleys in ireland, I bought my last m-frames on ebay. they are issued to the special forces in usa and usually come in plain black frame with grey heater lens.
