Oakley Why 8.2 Sunglasses - 2006

The Oakley Why 8.2 sunglass redefines minimalist. Made with rimless construction, with only small strands of C-5 alloy holding the optically pure Plutonite lenses together, the 8.2 practically floats. The C-5 alloy, a blend of five metals, is shaped to comfortably keep the Why 8.2s in place, with the help of Oakley's Unobtanium earsocks. The 8.2 proves that minimalist is sexy.

Bottom Line: The Oakley Why 8.2: less is definitely more.

Expected Oakley quality

Pros: They stay on pretty good. Lens quality is superior. Lens hardness is very superior. No distortion evident at center/edges of lens. Excellent weight/balance. Last but not least, very spiffy looking :-)
Cons: The nose pieces tend to be problematic after a year. As with any frameless sunglasses, flex develops on the bridge as it ages. Oakley's arm design can be improved: when arms are folded, ends protrude about 1/2" from the edge. While these protrusions are probably there to add strength while the glasses are worn, it would be a huge + if they could update this design to make them less protruding.
