Calling all Oakley fans May 19, 2007
Hi,

Do you own a pair of Oakley ?
Do you find it worth to own such an expensive sunglass ?
Or do you find that the huge investment you have put in initially pays for itself many times back later on ?

I am in a dilemma to choose between a Flak Jacket and a Radar, and/or a polarised Black iridium lens or different lens tint.
I use it mainly for sea-sport, driving and possibly golf

I would like to have a single pair to suit the above conditions, ie no lens change needed.

If you have past experience, I would like to hear from you.
Thanks in advance.

Rgds.

My suggestion for you is wether a M-Frame or Pro-Frame with Heater Glasses in Black Iridium or one below (the black Irirdium are really great but extremly dark) Useful at the sea but may be to dark for Golf.

The M Frames are very good for overall use.
I even like the Pro Frame due to the lack of hinges more, easy to use with only one hand but a bit bulky in storage.
Try both and you eill find which one is useful for you


The M- Frames are too huge for my asian round type face.
The Pro has no hinges.

I am looking at the Flak with ZLJ lens, or the Radar with Path/Pitch low profile lens.

Iridium is polarized, right ?
I agreed that Black Iridium is extremely dark, and seems to be the norm. I can stay away from the norm.

All I want is to eliminate glare from bright shiny objects, and yet to be able to see as much of *true* colours as possible, esp the greens and the blues.
Polarization is a must.

What types of lens would you recommend, that are also available in Dubai ?
Any advice highly appreciated.

No, one needs a pair of sunglasses to drive, and a different pair to play golf, and a different pair to wear at a nightclub and a different pair to...
