5.0 out of 5 starsAWESOME GLASSES!!!! LOVE THEM!!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2016
I saw these glasses & JUST HAD TO HAVE 'EM!!!
The nose piece is a little difficult to change, but that's OK because there's no reason to continually swap them out. The lens change is the EASIEST I have ever had with a set of Oakley's. The feel of the frames is absolutely unexpected and the weight, initially, gives a feeling of weak/cheap. BUT, that initial impression quickly fades when you adjust the ear pieces and slip them on for their maiden voyage.
The frames are EXTREMELY light for the size... they actually feel lighter than the Half Jackets I sold to get these. Even after wearing for an extended period, the frames are not at all uncomfortable. If fact, it's quite the opposite. You will get so used to the, that you forget you're wearing them. Yes, they are that comfortable. Even the way the ear pieces wrap around slightly, they still are very comfortable over the ears. Just be prepared, these glasses are HUGE... an I mean MASSIVE!!! If you're like me & LOVE the old Mumbo and pre- "M"-frame type glasses, these will be the glasses that you'll absolutely want.
With a clear, unobstructed field of vision & shaded peripheral vision from the futuristic Oakley "O", these glasses look like they're about to either "transform & roll out" or have a light-cycle form around them on the game grid. They absolutely look like a cross between a Transformer & something from Tron. The vented lens even adds to the overall futuristic feel. You will almost have a feeling like: Doc Brown, "Roads? Where we're going we don't need.. roads." Then all of a sudden, flip down the glasses and hear, "you got the touch... you got the power" as you lunge forward and take off at breakneck speed leaving a trail of light behind.
If you've got the cash to drop on these glasses, they are WONDERFUL. I don't have the regrets that sometimes follow a big purchase like this. But given I know how long a pair of Oakley's will last me... this is one purchase that has me sleeping like Ralphie after getting the "Official Red Ryder Range Model Air-Rifle" But in my dreams I'm busting off hip shots like Cyclops from X-Men.
