I got a killer half off deal on my Oakley Flak Jackets and I couldn't be happier with them.

Sure, flak jackets are nice, but your avatar just warms my heart.

Mia san mia!

These Sette Vexx3 have worked well for me for less than $20, and includes 3 sets of lenses. I also have a pair of Fossil Patrick polarized, but I'm finding I don't really care for polarized all that much.

Tifosi Tyrants, I refuse to spend more than $50 on an item that costs about $5 in materials to manufacture

Hmm... you must not own a helmet, or a saddle, or pedals, or a seat post, or any clothing of any sort, or pretty much anything, actually.

Sun Cloud Ratchet polarized. No fogging issues and have a great hue. Havanah Brown.

Thumbs up for the Radars!!

You can fit all the different Radar lenses and some are vented!

Jawbone and Half Jacket.

I typically use my RP Rydons when on the bike... have about 5 or 6 different sets of lenses for different lighting conditions. And about sweat getting on my lenses - wearing a headsweat/sweat gutr/halo or plain old headband is mandatory to keep my lenses dry in the summer. For fogging, I just deal with it as they clear up a second or two after they see some airflow. I would like to try Catcrap one of these days as it's designed to keep lenses from fogging.

Rudy Project Skeey's - they were discontinued a few years ago, and I've found a couple pairs on the 'bay to last me a little while before I need to find something else. Love them! Especially for the RX compatibility.

2 pair of Jawbones(5 lense sets)

Split Jackets(non-polarized)

M-Frames(Red w/Black Iridium Polarized)

Flaks with 3 sets of lenses

Its one of those things I almost regret.. Kinda like, wearing gloves and other stuff we all do while we ride.. My friend gave me a GREAT pair of Oakley fives

https://www.oakley.com/products/3171

They fit pretty damn good.. nice and tight to my face, so they don't move around much or need adjusting while I'm riding.. What I don't like about them, and the reason for my post, since they are close to my face, sweat dripping down gets into the glasses and also fog from the heat from my face...

I used to scuba a lot and wondering if I could use spit or the solution they sell to prevent this..

Anyone have this problem?? Maybe a head band would help too??

Funny, they weren't given to you they were traded, so they may be getting repossessed, lofl

I had tried other glasses and in every instance, I come back to the Oakleys. Latest are black matte Radar path with polarized Black Iridium lenses. First gen M frames with Black Iridium lenses and until the hinge broke, some original Oakley Blades. I still have the Oakley Eyeshade but wife says "don't wear those outside!" Hahaha

Some $12 pair from a kiosk. I decided to go with something cheap since my ride hardly looks towards the sun and it's not so bright out anyway. I tend to drop more expensive glasses for some dumb reason - maybe as a result of being overly-careful. But lately, I've looked towards a new pair. The posted Scattante's look nice, as well as the Flak Jackets. I did want the clear-frame Tifosi Logics, but a negative impression here as well as no local shop ever having it makes me think otherwise.

I also like these eBay cheapies... Only $12.95 shipped and they have at least 20 different color/lens combos. They're called X-Loop.

And if you bust 'em up, you're only out 13 bucks...

Oakley Half Jackets for the most part. For evening MTB rides, I'm using a pair of Performance glasses with clear lenses.

dysfunction · Feb 22, 2011

half jacket xjls with G20 lenses.. normally. they cover almost all the lighting conditions I need them to, till it's time for night rides and the clears go in

never ride without shades

I wear contacts so like to keep the wind out of my eyes. Also like to keep bugs & debris thrown up by autos out too.

--Full sun: Oakley Enduring Edge frames/lenses with VR-28 polarized lenses
* not cheap but I've had them for a few years and with proper care they look new
* these are a female model and I'm a dude, but have a smaller face and they fit really well. Went into a store, they had them, tried them on and they fit so well I was sold. And hey, spending so much time in Lycra I'm pretty comfortable with my feminine side

*never had any problems with polarized.
* Fit really, really well. Not moving about, no fogging, no sweat on the lenses

--Less sun/flat light/early morning: Oakley M Frame Persimmon Hybrid S
* LOVE these frames. Nothing in the way of your vision. Love them.
* Lens tint is great for a very wide range, from early morning to dusk conditions. I can pretty much see until dark out

--New addition! - found a pair of Radars out when walking my dog a few weeks ago. Nice score! Have some huge lenses in them now, maybe Paths? Look like Kool Moe Dee in them at the moment. Going to pick up some clear or very slightly tinted ones for really low light conditions.

I haven't tried a ton of different brands, but Oakleys work for me so I use them. I also don't see the point of buying cheap shades. I wouldn't buy a cheap bike because I worry I might crash it or get hit by a car. So I buy quality shades and take care of them.

I'm happy to pay for quality.

Paths are the smallest Radar lense. Range is the biggest. Path have a slight "U" shape on the bottom of the lense.

Jawbone vented, though they definitely say, "Hey, look at me, CYCLIST OVER HERE!" They fit close enough to keep my contacts from drying out, but the vented lenses keep them pretty dry.

I wanted the Split Jackets, but they fit so snugly to my face that they were fogging up in the store just trying them on.

Jawbones were perfect.

I use Spokiz. They stay where you want them all the time! The only downside, is that they are more difficult to take off during a ride. I have never had much of a problem with that though.

Prost
