The Oakley Half Wire Sunglasses are a combination of function and style that'll make you wonder why you haven't owned a pair your whole life. Durable Plutonite lenses and sturdy C-5 alloy provide you with unsurpassed impact protection, so if you happen to bail your lenses won't shatter and gouge out your eyeballs. That'd be messy and painful. Custom engineered spring hinges and adjustable rubber nosepads offer the comfort of a custom fit and patented XYZ Optics keep it real in the area of correcting light refraction. That means you get the best clarity available in a lens.

Bottom Line: Half wires, full function, full style.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Nice fit and comfy, too.

I have had these Oakleys over six months. I use them for driving, motorcycling and hanging at the beach. They have been great so far; they stay on when I'm riding and they are comfortable, too. Highly Recommended

Good glasses

I purchased these over a year ago. I am very satisfied with them. Just received them back from Oakley for warranty work (I somehow managed to crack the lenses). I was rough on them so that was no surprise but they replaced free of charge. There are many comments on here about too small and restricting vision which maybe true but not for me. I have a rather small face and have always preferred smaller glasses. I tried on in a store before searching around for the best price online which I would recommend for any expensive sunglass purchase.

Disappointing

By:
March 25, 2004

My first pair of Oakleys, I was expecting a very high level of fit and quality. Unfortunately they disappointed on many levels - very heavy, poor visibility due to too small lenses, too small frame, and far too loose for a comfortable fit. Based on the cost, these concessions weren't acceptable, so I returned them.

Great image, but disappointing reality

By:

I saw these sunglasses in a store while on vacation. They look awesome! So great, they seemed well worth the $160 needed to purchase them. The reality is these sunglasses don't live up to the reputation. The lenses are too small to provide proper vision coverage - the bottom of the lenses cut into the lower 3rd of your peripheral vision. They are heavy - almost as heavy as glass lenses. The arms are weak - they provide almost no pressure to keep them in place. The frame is too small for most normal size faces. Bottom line - $160 is too much for glasses that you can't look thru and keep up on your nose or even on your head.

Oakley Half Wire

I love Oakleys but I am not extremely happy with the nose guards on this pair. They are not as comfortable as the old pair that I had.

Awesome !!!!

I own the Oakley Half Wires with the Red Iridium lenses, and I love them. The frame design has great style and comfort. The lenses (Red Iridium) cover about 90% of all lighting conditions, with amazing clarity. How can you beat that. I feel these are among the very best sunglasses (for the money).
