Frogskins Update... Cool in its own right

By Backcountry.com Employee March 4, 2009

I have been collecting Frogs since they were re released last year. That being said I had to check these out. This is basically frogskins meet performance with a dab of modern style. The frame looks similar to frogs from the front, but I noticed the lens are slightly less tall and wider. Also, the lens have a slight sphericalness to them. The other main difference here is the arms. They obviously much taller than frogs. I still found them comfortable but these felt a lot more like current oakleys on my face than that 80s cheap feel the frogs have. Overall, they look kind of like Frogs, feel like modern oakley and in many ways shape their own spot in the Oakley line. In retrospective, I don't look at them as replacements for Frogs, but as a cool new frame to have in addition to frogs.
