Now i gotta solder it back on, lol.

Oakley shipped them to the doctor the other day, but I was unable to make it to his office.
The doctor was kind enough to overnight them to me, and they came today.

Even though I already had a case for them, Oakley included the same exact case free since I had to wait so long on getting these back to me.

They turned out great.
The polarized gray should work out great for me.

The camera on macro mode picked up some dust on top of the frame and left lens.
Funny what the camera picks up as I could not see it by just looking at the glasses.

They match my bike pretty close too.
Wish I had them last weekend, we had a rare spring sunny weekend.
Back to rain right now here.

The orange on the ear pieces of the Oakleys is a dead match for the color of my bike.

So what you're saying then is you painted your bike with some safety orange you "borrowed' from the company stores right?



and the bike is still dusty as well I'll wager...

Full face helmet? with integral flip up tinted visor behind the clear visor? best eye/face protection you can get... IK it lacks the "cool me" factor of the micro helmet or helmetless (organ donor) style but they are better and FWIW offer much more area for uber cool custom paint work... just sayin'...

Maui Jim's make the best glass itself although the styles are not usually the "coolest". I have to be very selective in the glass I wear due to my eye problems. If I am wearing cheaply made glasses even if they are from an expensive company like Okley I end up with a headache. It has become such a PITA to find good glass that I generally do not wear sunglasses any more. My wife likes her Ray Ban's though.

I'm partial to my Oakley polarized Gas Can's. Very nice fit, I like the clarity when driving thru forest and you're in and out of bright sun and shade spots negotiating roots, ruts, rocks, etc. Nice glasses.

I have a $9 pair of Berkley polarized fishing sunglasses I bought at walmart. Best buy for your money nothing fancy but they have very clear lenses and they are polarized so helps you see into shadows and such.

by far the best i have ever had. costa frames i have had are the harpoons and currently have brines and have had 3 pairs of those. and the 580 glass lenses are the bomb. i prefer the amber lens (just cause of the type of fishing i do), but both are awesome.
