Oakley Half Wire Sunglasses

Item #OAK0276 | 0 in Stock
2 Star Rating

Great image, but disappointing reality

By Ranked #1655 - Sunglasses April 5, 2004

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.
