Love
As far
as I know, I am one of the few regular people to already
have a pair of Oakley Radars. I have been wearing them
for the last 2 weeks and all I can say is that there are
the ultimate cycling glasses! Oakley has got everything
right with these shades. They come with a hard case, and
one of the Plutonite ® lens cleaning bags. The hard case
features a slot into which Oakley has thoughtfully
placed a spare nose piece. The funny thing is that with
the new glasses, it would be quite difficult to lose the
nose piece.
The
hard case also has 2 spare spots for extra lenses, sadly
not included in my set.
There
is a whole lot of marketing gumph written about how the
new lenses repel water and dust. Well, I thought it was
all just hype, until I rode with the glasses. In two
weeks I am yet to get even a spot on the lens while
riding! I am actually not sure how this is possible. I
have even raced with these and I had crystal clear
vision the whole way, through some extremely dusty
winter conditions.
The
frames are light and can almost not be felt on the face.
This, coupled with the fact that the lenses wrap all
around providing totally un-obscured vision means that
you hardly know that you are wearing glasses at all.
When you ride a bike, you sometimes feel like you are
looking straight into the top frame of the glasses; this
is not the case with the Radars. Because they are
designed for riding they seem to have been corrected for
this.
I also
think it is this feature that has helped my perpetual
neck/shoulder pain, as I am not constantly lifting my
head to avoid looking into the frame of the glasses.
Possibly the greatest feature and the biggest
improvement on the M-Frames and Racing Jackets is the
glasses fold. This allows you to transport them easily
without fear of them breaking.
I truly
love these glasses. I am not only wearing them for
riding but for everyday use too. The only problem is,
that I need another pair…
