Whoa whoa whoa.....hold on there....I can't let this one squeak by without a comment...

In my experience the Hydrophobic Coating DOES work and works to perfection. Granted, my previous sunglasses were the $39 Performance ones with the three interchangeable lenses. They served their purpose but it was God-awful to replace the lenses (I ride a lot at night and would would switch to the clear lenses for that) and the frame started having a lot more give and was getting loose on my big head. I was seriously stopping to wipe these things down every 30 minutes in the summer. In fact I even brought a lens cloth with me on rides for this specific purpose.

I have never had to wipe my Jawbones down. I don't get the peripheral vision thing either. Seems to have just as much to me as my Performance glasses which had no frame at all. I have the vented lenses and on one cold (for SoCal) morning they fogged up on me at a stoplight but cleared immediately when I started rolling again. Outside of that I've had no problems.

Two companies have changed my cycling life - Oakley and Lezyne. The Lezyne pumps are just phenomenal and I love them to death. The Jawbones changed the way I look at the world when I ride and made it so my sunglasses became a negligible part of my ride - no maintenance whatsoever.

And this is coming from a guy who wears only Revo in his regular life. I always thought of Oakley as kind of a hip, over-priced, juice-head weightlifter type of company. To me these cycling-specific glasses make as much sense as wearing bike shorts versus jean shorts on a ride. They've had that kind of impact on me.
