Frame: pewter
Lens: warm grey
the square wire 3.0 is a great piece to wear , BUT on the right side of the unobtanium rubber, the phrase "MADE IN USA" is rather thick, and after a while of wearing it, you begin to feel the txt on your head ( at least i do )
further than that, i like them better than the sq.wire 2.0
because of the bigger lens.
the warm grey lens is very easy on the eyes, making it an allround lenstint to wear. the pewter frame is of a classic beauty, very distinguished . i like the overall colour of the 3.0

Frame: Olive
Lens: Dark Bronze

My wife chose this colour for me (I think she made the right choice! Other frame colours look dull compared to Olive). This is timeless classic! I wanted an aviator type sunglasses, but this is the only frame that would fit my Razrwire Bluetooth Module. Close enough.

Apparently my typical flat Asian face combined with longer-than-average eyelashes cannot wear this frame properly. Despite having the nose stems adjusted by optician twice, the glasses are still too close to my eyes, letting my eyelashes brushing the lenses.

Apart from the eyelashes problem, this frame is very comfortable. The spring hinge helps keeping it in place. I use the Razrwire's bluetooth module with this frame while driving. The coverage is great, and does not have blank spot (brought by thick arms) like Gascan or O Rokr.

The Dark Bronze lens, being contrast lens, is good for driving. However, it is a bit too dark for most situation in the car bar the full sunlight. I could not find good time to wear this glasses during the Australian winter. Only in the beginning of spring I can use this glasses more often while driving. I guess VR28 or Bronze would be a better choice for driving lens.

Frame: Brushed Chrome
Lens: VR28 Black Iridium Polarized
I bought these back in February. My first experience with Oakley polarized, and all I can say is that 'liquid fusion process' technology lives up to the hype. When driving, your vision pierces through windshields of oncoming traffic, and lets you check out the women driving. The frame is ultra high quality, and you can really feel it on your face. However, they really do provide for all day comfort. The finish is a very nice, and the brushed finish downplays the bling of chrome. Still deciding whether to take up one of the good deals for razrwire on ebay, then I'll have both pairs compatible with the bluetooth module.

VR28 Black Iridium Polarized is perfect for partially cloudy days. These are also perfect for driving, as the vr28 somewhat enhances contrast. Although recommended for 100% clear and bright days, use something else with a gray or blue basecoat, otherwise you will probably be squinting with these if you are outside all day.

Frame: Light
Lens: Black Iridium

This colour combination definitely In my opinion looks the best! The titanium grey silver frames really matches a perfect contrast in union with the black iridium lenses. I'd recommend these over all the other combinations as looking the most expensive and classiest! What I like most is these look great on old to middle aged people as well as the young! The design is perfect for most face shapes. The good old not too big/ not too small. We ideally want our sunglasses the perfect size and with these you get that! A bold classy fashion statement and strong quality sunglass. The new Square wire is by far the best yet from Oakley (especially in this colour combination)! I don't think I will never need another pair of sunglasses again by the quality and style of these!

Frame: Olive Chrome
Lens: Dark Bronze

The design is very classic and standard, nothing special. Even though the Chrome looks really nice ( doenst look like there is any kind of olive in it) and the dark bronze lenses are okay, the combination doesnt look very well in combination. Since this is nearly my 20th pair of Oakleys ( first pair of square wire) i am kinda disappointed for some reasons. When i squeeze the frame with my fingers, the lenses make kinda "clack" noise. The frame itself doenst seem very solid. The first thing i`ve done was buying some other lenses, so that these glasses at least looking good in my showcase ( custom lenses in that case).
