They are designed for cycling and ride higher on the face...are large and cover the face and fit close for no wind intrusion. You can get lower in the drops without craning your neck to look under the top frame rim which is typically present on other glasses...as with most Oakleys...plus the bridge is adjustable for nose bridge thickness and desired height of the glasses for best view when down low.
This is basically the same principle for those that shoot guns...I am not a gun owner...or that shoot pool with glasses that are deliberately designed to ride higher on the face.
The Sport Mask has been replaced by the Hypermask. The problem with the original is that they can break at the point the lens connects to the frame. This leaves part of the lens stuck inside the frame so you can't really fix them. The Hypermask is a less fragile design.
