These sunglasses are awesome. The color is really nice, however I do not like the fact that the lens are too see through. There are super light weight, almost to the fact that they seem brittle. I havent had them long enough to know how durable they are, but they are made by oakley, and most of their stuff is pretty durable.
Holbrook
Very cool design. Has a older look with a newer twist. The duribility of them is topnotch. Good quality, when I received them the frame was a little bent, but could not tell much when on my face. Other then that, the flat black finish has held up very well, as well as the lenses. Overall my favorite sunglasses purchase and will probably buy the same model in a different color.
Great, But Big
I was looking for a pair of wayfarer style sunglasses and on-paper, these seemed to fit the bill. When I got them, the frames were very light and seemed well constructed, the 24K lenses looked great from both inside and out, but, the orbitals are very large. And when I say large, mostly I'm talking about how tall the lenses are. Compared to something like the Ray Ban Wayfarers, they are much larger and I think you would need a larger face/head to have them fit. I know this is probably the style, Oakley's other wayfarer style glasses the Jupiter are similar in size, but, just looked way too big on me. Great Oakley style and quality, just need a smaller version for someone with a medium to small face.
I Like
Good, solid pair of shades you would expect from oakley, but from my experiences, I have found Spys to have the best frame quality, which is what I use as a benchmark for comparing other sunglasses brands (Lens quality is subjective to each person in my opinion). Anyways, I consider myself to have a slighter larger than average face/head, and these fit me just right. I got the polished black frame with the gold iridium lens, but I found the lens to be more for low light conditions. I found myself straining my eyes in the bright, summer, california sun in them. Bottom line, quality product you'd expect from Oakley, just make sure the lens you're getting is right for you.
