Over the years I've purchased about 6 pair of Oakley's but most recently I bought these Polarized Oakley Half Jackets back in March 2008.

Pros:
I like the way they fit by clinging to to your head. They are lightweight and comfortable as well. They are stylish and perform well at blocking the sun from your eyes. The frames are durable.

Cons:
The lenses are NOT scratch resistant at all. After owning several pair of Oakleys, I know very well how to care for them by only using the cloth that comes with them and I take very good care of my subglasses. Nevertheless about 3 weeks after I bought them I found a small scratch on the right lens. A few weeks later I was at the beach and somehow one of the plastic nose guards fell off by itself, never to be found again. Another few months went by and I noticed that the coating started flaking off the lenses. Now the sunglasses are about a year and a half old and the flaking has gotten so bad that I can't wear them anymore. I'm pretty upset about this seeing as how I dished out $200 for sunglasses that only last a little over a year. My other pairs of Oakleys have held up better in the past but a few were lost or stolen so I only had maybe 3 pair long enough to stop wearing them. But inevitably it always ends the same way.. with scratches all over the lenses after only a few months. It seems that they have been getting more and more cheaply made over the years while their prices have stayed the same or increased.

So I'm done with Oakley and their cheap lenses. No more. Purchase at your own risk!

My son asked for these for Christmas, when he opened them all his brothers wanted a pair too! They look great and are reasonably priced for the type of sunglasses they are.

Would definitely buy another pair from these guys!

If you have to replace the rubber pieces, (the nose piece has a tendency to fall off and you have to get a whole kit to replace,) it can be difficult. After struggling to replace the ear piece rubber with I used a drop of dishwashing soap in the ends and they slid right on. They were initially stretched a bit but they conformed. The installation of the lenses take some time to master.

I ordered these glasses because I like the look, but they ended up too small for my face. The shipper was willing to give me a refund because of the bad fit, but in the end I decided to give them to my younger brother who has a smaller, narrower head than me. They look fantastic on him. But if you have a larger head, particularly if it's round, these glasses will look goofy on you.

received my sunglasses two days ago they are great black iridium got em fora little under 70 so price was great and the look was great my wife always said i had a big head after reading some reviews i tought they wouldnt fit they did they hug my head perfect will give it 5 stars

I received the glasses very quickly and love them. They came with bag that you clean them with, extra set of nose pads, fit great (I'm a woman) and work fantastic. I usually have a hard time driving in sunlight or even overcast situations because I have sensitive eyes but these work great. Would definitely recommnend them.

very nice pair of sunglasses for shade/sun hiking or biking, driving or looking cool outside. clarity of vision with these are outstanding, construction is good, look is very noticeable (i got the flame lenses with black frames). especially good for rock climbing, i discovered, as i can see every little depression in the rock.

I have tried many different brands and types of sunglasses and none of them compare to these. The absolute clarity of the lens alone makes them worthwhile. But then add in that they are lightweight, stylish, have 100% UVA/UVB/UVC protection, and the fact that they don't slide off your face and the price becomes well worth it - especially when compared to other sunglasses similarly priced.

This is my second pair of Oakley Sunglasses. They are expensive but worth the money. Shop around for price. Extremely light weight, excellent fit, polarized lenses that really work and produce a vivid clarity filtering the harsh ultra violent sunrays. You will notice a HUGE difference. I also have an expensive pair of Ray Bans. They make everything look ultra dark and lack the clarity of the Oakleys. Buy a pair and you won't be disappointed. I also recommend that you purchase the Oakley Sunglass Case. Cost is about $25.00 and it's over kill for a pair of sunglasses. Very well made, durable and it offers excellent protection for your purchase.

Love the glasses. Light and they fit to perfection. Great buying experience all around.
