Oakley Sunglasses...still all that?

Oakley are still the business and there are some reasonably priced ones available that look sweet on or off your bike.

I love my Oakley Radars. Best sun specs I've owned. With the contrast lenses in they actually do help you pick out objects on the trail.

Yep, the only brand of eyewear for any sport activity as far as I'm concerned. I use Oakley Fives for cycling - cheap enough to not be a disaster if anything should happen to them, cool enough to wear walking about in normal clothes off the bike.

Oakely are still a premium brand with a good product.

A bit like Hope - you get what you pay for.

I've recently bought some Tifosi glasses and have to say that the lenses are very good at half the price.

Christ I've just followed the spammer link. No way are those going near my precious eyes !!

Always thought of getting a good pair of oakleys but would end up breaking them so bought some of ebay for tenner. was surprised turned up in a hard case, came with 4 lenses and 1 polarized lenses.

not the best but will do me for the time being of late always got something else to pay for.

They're not crap MM. They're great quality. I've oakleys that I wear casually and running and they're probably about 15 years old. The only time I broke a pair they replaced them FOC. Yes they're expensive but you know they pass all the safety tests and will last a lifetime. Lots of cheaper glasses won't.

Per wearing they are great value. If you're clumsy or lose things then maybe they're not for you.

For the love of God though don't buy those spammy ones.

I was up in the Alps somewhere in 2012 and I had removed my Oakleys while I fixed the rear brake. Then I trod on the Oakleys! :shock: I felt them crunch under my foot. I looked down and the arm had come free of the frame. OMG what was I going to do, they were a prescription spec and I needed them.

But after a close inspection, I just clipped the arm back into its slot and they were as right as rain. I still have that same pair today, as a spare pair (I needed a new prescription a few years ago).

When new, the lens quality is crystal clear. But I believe that the lens material may be a bit soft as it picks up scratches over time, mostly impact from branches and other foliage. So the clarity slowly fades. But by the time it becomes a problem, I need a new prescription anyway.

What I like about the Oakley Straight Jackets I have is that the frame fits around the bony orbit and protects my eyes extremely well indeed. Nothing gets in. I have had impacts to my face so severe that I have left an eyeprint on the inside of the lens, but no breakages and no eye damage either (which is the point as far as I'm concerned).
