Review of Oakley


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Solid pair overall, but lacks repairability which holds these frames back a lot.

Great fit that does not move or shift even when it is sweaty and dirty, very tough frame, solid lenses that have taken a lot of abuse.

These lenses have been with my for about 4 years in my military reserve career. They have survived countless schools, me being in a tanker crew, me going to NTC, multiple annual trainings, and years of hard civillian work including hazmat and corrections.

These frames are by far the single best frames i have ever had in the fact that they always hold firm on my head and have never broken even through some of the toughest most abusive conditions.

Now for the downsides that REALLY hold these frames back. For starters, they are a bit uncomfortable especially with over ear earpro, a motorcycle helmet, or a headset on your head. The edges are sharp and dig in a bit. Second, the arm socks are not sold on amazon or oakley's store and cannot be replaced. It's forced me to wrap bare strips of metal with electrical tape because over 4 years the "O-material" has cracked and began to disintegrate over time and the metal it rests on is thin enough to cut the top of your ears creating a great deal of discomfort. This wouldn't even be an issue if the rubber portions had replacement sets available so that i could properly service the glasses. For this reason, moving forward, my next frames will be ones that i know have replacement parts sets so that i can take parts with me to the field or otherwise just service the frames at home.
