A new rendition of a coveted Oakley design, the Five Sunglasses comes with a smooth edge of attitude. Sports legends inspired the look, and the unique architecture salutes the fact that no two athletes are alike. Oakley created FIVES for small to medium size faces, giving them a tapered design that fits and feels right. Highlighted with metal icons, this comfortably lightweight design is made of durable Oakley O MATTER. Take a look at the sculpturally integrated hinges and smooth contouring, and you'll see how this frame turns form into function with stylish curvature that helps maximize protection against sun, wind and side impact. Oakley's Three-Point Fit holds the lenses in precise alignment while offering all-day comfort, unlike ordinary frames that hook the ears or fit with unbalanced pressure points. This design showcases the extreme "wrap" and "rake" made possible by Oakley technology. "Wrap" is the side-to-side curvature of lenses; "rake" is the up-and-down curvature. With more lens curvature, you have a larger/wider field of vision and greater protection from wind, side impact and UV rays that sneak around the edges of the frame. The 8.75-base curvature of FIVES is made possible with XYZ OPTICS, our way of ensuring vision stays sharp across the entire lens contour. Performance and protection are so good that this sunglass meets every ANSI Z87.1 standard for clarity and impact resistance, and with pure PLUTONITE lenses, you'll have the added protection of 100 UV filtering. This frame is available with Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses (+2.00 through -4.00 combined power), and other premium options are available. Choose a lens with IRIDIUM coating for precisely balanced light transmission that helps you maximize performance, improve safety and reduce fatigue caused by eyestrain. Enjoy glare reduction greater than 99 with Oakley HDPolarized lenses made with a process that eliminates the haze and optical distortion common to ordinary polarized lenses.

I had a pair awhile back that I had lost and I was super excited to find these on Altrec!! The are a great color, very versitile and Oakley is a great brand. I use them for water sports and they have been great. If you are looking for a pair of glasses that are a great quality and don't cost a small fortune these are IT!!

Amazing Shades
I love these shades, they are light, fit wonderfully, and the world just looks better through those polarized brown lens! Absolutely sharp and clear view! I also love the fact that there is no extra rubber on the ear pieces and nose piece. Some may say that they need it for sports, I think that a good fit shades don't really need it, and furthermore, those things get nasty after you've been using them for a while...

A Comfortable Classic
I love Oakley's sunglasses, and have quite a few of them--for different purposes. Among them are a fair number of Fives, because they are so versatile. I find that Oakley's Fives (original, 2.0, 3.0, and Squared versions) provide great eye protection under almost any condition: active sports (i.e., cycling, golf, running, etc), or casual wear. They look great too; in fact I believe this particular model is the best looking style of the entire Fives family: unlike the later versions, this model has softer 'lines' that look good on any face shape (men and women). All of the lines compliment one another for a fluid look that's not too angular. The frame geometry is--I believe--near perfect: not too big, not too small; easily accommodating a wide variety of head/face sizes. The quality of the lenses is awesome--unmatched clarity across the entire light spectrum. My recommendation: BUY THESE GLASSES BEFORE THEY ARE GONE! I believe these were introduced in 2009; I'd get 'em now while you can. I'm sure you'll enjoy them for years to come!

Great glasses.
They fit my head well, and stay on while cycling. They wrap well enough that I don't have to worry about bugs or debris. Overall a great set of glasses.
