Oakley Men's Whisker Sunglasses

I bought these glasses and the Sunglasses Hut at my local mall at $150. They fit my face like a glove. I wouldn't pay the extra money for the polarized version however. Anyways, the glasses are pretty easy to bend. They won't break until they've been through hell, but once they're bent, they will never fit right again. I would know. I'm on my second pair! I'd recommend a hard case for these glasses to prevent damage to them.

I was initially weary to buy these because I had tried them on at a another shop and they were pretty tight on my head. I was worried they might start giving me a headache very quickly. However, they were discounted and I had an additional 20% off promotion so I went for it. I have had these sunglasses for about a month, and I can definitely tell a difference when I put my "cheap" sunglasses on. The clarity is amazing and they block glare much better than any other "cheap" sunglasses I've had. They are still fit very tight on my head, but they don't cause my head to hurt even after wearing them for an hour. Maybe I just have a fat head. Anyway, I would definitely recommend Oakley to anyone who asked my opinion.

The Oakley Whisker has a number of features working in its favor. One, 12% light transmission. These are superb sunglasses on a bright day. Two, even though the lenses are plastic they are very clear, almost Serengeti Driver kind of clear. Three, the Whisker is so lightweight its almost undetectable. And fourth, the straight temples aren't so long as to wrap around the back of the head, nor do they grip so tightly as to pinch my noggin in an acupressure vise. Another feature I like is the short height of the lenses. There's plenty of glass where its needed and I can easily look down under the lenses to see text on a phone, read a map, etc. Good deals abound on the interwebs, especially on weekends at sites like 6pm.

Addendum: The lenses scratch with little more than a harsh look. And thanks to the low vertical height of the lens, scratches usually happen within the common field of vision.
