Ok guys, I have a $250 gift card from Oakley store. which glasses should I get? I was thinking about those with lenses that adjust to light. help me out.

I have had a pair of the Monster Pups for 2 years or so now and love them. I wear them everywhere.

In my experience, M frames are the best for on the bike but look silly off the bike. Radars look good on or off the bike. Flak Jackets are too small on the bike.

I like the Radars Paths

heads up!

Radar Path. Love mine.

I have the Radars with the transition lenses and I only use them for riding but that's cause I'm usually wearing my Romeos. I use the transition lenses from riding at night to bright sun, they work great for me.

Love my Radar Paths. $250 will get you customs with a second set of lenses, or customs with polarized lenses IIRC.

This is why people think cyclists are elitist. Buy whatever glasses you like. What do you care what other riders think.

Oh, you want to make sure you show up to the next ride with the trendy glasses, right? God forbid you show up with glasses you really like and fit you well, but they arent what the cool kids approve of!!

M frame all the way, that is, unless you get some awesome, custom Radars.

Lighten up Francis. It matters to you too whether you are aware of it or not. From his post, it seems he is asking more about functionality rather than what they look like anyway.

I like my Zero's a lot. Rimless, super light, and they don't squeeze my temples like most glasses.

I have two pairs of the Flak Jacket XLJ; they are very comfortable and fit well on my small face.

Jynx

I have the Oakley Radar's and really like them.

While goofy for non-sport applications, they absolutely rock on the bike, and I love 'em for tri's.

The problem with a lot of non-cycling-specific glasses (at least for my face) is that when you're in a TT/Tri position or in the drops, the frame can block your view up the road, which can suck quite a bit.

Dog's vote.

I have a pair of the regular Flak Jackets, and while I really like them I have to agree with this. They are nice and lightweight, but the wind gets under the lenses sometimes depending on the angle. If you like them though, maybe try the XLJ lenses to get a bit more coverage.

Wait for the Jawbones



Or get a pair of Radards, I love mine.

My flak jackets are my favorite glasses ever off the bike. Hands down the lightest and most comfortable and the only pair of glasses I can honestly say I forget about. However, I still like my Radars on the bike. The radars provide much more coverage and really fit well around my helmet.

Has anyone tried the jawbone? Oakley has always made such a big deal about having no downward frame to impede downward vision in their sport performance line. I'm surprised to see them going back to it with the jawbone.

The jawbones are stupid. Tiny lenses and too much rim plastic.

whitemax

Jawbones, do people really get paid to come up with these names?

Please do yourself a favor and get the Oakley Flak Jackets with polarized lenses. I was dumb enough to lose these shades, but they are the best pair of sunglasses I've ever used. Lightweight, wicks the sweat away and looks amazing.

M Frames. Been using them since the 90's.

Nice construction, interchangeable lenses, lightweight.

Agreed about looking foolish off the bike. I have some oakley wires that are much more stylish.

Racing Jackets

I called the store and they have the Flank Jacket with the VR50 lenses. They don't have the radar with the transition lenses. Can't customize them because I can't use the gift card on line : (

I got a pair of bright orange radars coming this week and i'm super stoked.
