Oakley Half Wire 2.0 Sunglasses - Men's

Great Glasses....but

By Ranked #147 - Lifestyle Sunglasses July 20, 2011

I have loved these glasses....until they break. I've had 3 pairs of Half Wires, starting 4-5 yrs ago, but my most recent pair just broke again. Each pair I have had have all broken exactly the same....the hinge loses the spring action that allows them to flex and the ear piece falls off. I've had cheaper pair of glasses that never break and go through some serious abuse, but each pair of this that I have had (after 2 warranty replacements by Oakley) have been babied and not mistreated nor sat on. The occasional falling off of my head, due to forgetting they were there like others, but beyond that, they either are on my head or in the case. Maybe I've just been unlucky, but I am a bit leary of trying another pair of Oakley's for fear they'll break as well due to poor workmanship or cheap mechanics

Same problem as Keith. My Half wires were 2 y/o and the L temple fell off after the spring hinge broke.
