To maintain visual clarity in a world of performance-sinking distortion, we seared optics in an acid bath of innovation. XYZ Optics? lens geometry comes in five interchangeable lens shapes. The hinged frame offers the comfort of a perfect three-point fit. In the domain of athletics, generic accessory has now become vital equipment.

Sports glasses, pure and simple. You're going to look pretty silly wearing these if not participating in some athletic event.

But if you are, these are the ones to wear - totally secure, huge coverage with few stray angles for light to creep in.

Drawbacks ? They take up a lot of room and without the case are pretty much guaranteed to get scratched.

The heaters are HUGE!!! They nearly cover half of my face. Due to the structure of my asian face, the outer edges of the lenses touch my cheeks. For people with small faces, I'd recommend the Hybrid or Hybrid S. Wearing the heaters would make you look ridiculous .... However, the frame itself is quite comfortable, even more than the Half Jackets. The longer earstems grip slighly behind the ears (not the temples), adding to the comfort. Definitely a must for those who are active and looking for a classic Oakley look.

These are the only pair of sunglasses i have ever been able to wear comfortably for long periods of time. I often forget I am wearing these they are so comfortable and lightweight. The earstems really grip your head without squeezing too tight. Coverage is unmatched by anything on the market with the exception of maybe the football shield and snow goggles. The heater lens is quite large and it can touch my cheeks but i would rather that than losing coverage. My only gripe is the cost of polarized lenses and the limited selection in colors for polarized lenses. Overall, I dont see any sunglasses ever replacing these for me.

Like others have said heaters are large but in my opinion the best looking lens and best coverage for water sports or safty use.

What can I say, they are M Frames, timeless, and very cool. Great for sports, and more convenient than the pro M's unless your a road or mountain biker.
