I used to use Oakley M's and still like those, but the frame broke on me and I needed a change of glasses anyway. Oakley used to have a lifetime warranty on their stuff but now its only a year (or 2, I can't remember).
I normally eschew very expensive items like these glasses, but I like the lifetime warranty idea. I keep stuff forever... hell, I still commute on the bike that I bought new in 1983!
I have a concern about these glasses. I would like to use these interchangable lenses because my morning ride is in the dark, so the clear or lighter lenses would keep bugs out of my eyes. But I'd want to change them out for darker ones for the ride home in the bright sun.
The question is:
How will these stand up to lens changes twice a day, every day? Will they get loose and fall out or break?
And is that covered under the warranty? I tried to look it up on their website, but couldn't find mention of that particular situation.
