Frame: Rust Oakley Text
Lens: VR28 Black Iridium & RX Black Iridium Polarized

I was itching to get a pair of nice sunglasses, beign tired of the added weight of clip-ons and wanting some protection from the sun.

The frame is a lot darker than what is shown on the website. Once you wear them, they are very dark with faint traces of reddish brown light shining through. The text is mostly invisible once on your head. I prefer this color much more to the Polished Rootbeer which is too brown for my tastes.

The optics are fantastic on both sets of lenses. The VR28 looks like it has better definition, but that might be the contact lenses vs RX lenses difference.

The polarizing effect on the RX Black Iridium is not all that bad. Being used to the effect that you get with good clip-ons, it is a lot more subtle.

The coverage is excellent I have a much larger field of view and no distortion (can be an issue with RX), it's almost if I was not wearing glasses at all. They hold very well on your head, even with lots of sweat.

Seeing the reviews here, I was afraid that the Black Iridium lens might have been too dark but I find it is just right for me. The shape is a lot more subdued than most Oakleys but still have an outstanding design. I like them a lot.

Smaller sibling of the monster dogs, these have a more "streamlined" look, yet it still has a organic look to them. I would say design-wise they are in mix between gascan and monster dogs. If X-metal juliets existed in an O-matter form, I'd say these come close demsnion-wise (lens size very similar).

These frames are very under-rated frames IMO. They have a good wrap, are lightweight, and have that oakley touch to them. I have the matte black frames and switch between ruby iridium and grey lenses. They feel like straight jackets minus the unobtanium nose and earstems.

Wish oakley still made these. I wanted sport wrap sunnies without the unobtanium (Already have M frames and radars, and I know those are rimless-bottom frames)....but while I was deciding between flak jackets and the new straight jacket, I did not like having to repalce unobtanium over time, so I wanted sport sunnies without them. These fit what I wanted!

Frame: Rust
Lens: Dark Grey

fits well in my face, but I'm wondering is there a release that has a rust frame with dark grey lens?

I bought these because I thought they would fit the Asian Profile, and I was in love with how the frame looked. Well, they were decent but not perfect, so I altered them a little to fit my face perfectly. The frame is very unique. I've never seen anything like it before. The Vr28 is still an all time favorite.

Now here is where I became a little picky. I think that I have a small-medium sized head and these were still actually a little large on my face. To put this in perspective, the Straight Jackets cover my eyebrows and meets the bottom of my cheek level. Overall though, the frame is very comfortable and light weight. I love the clear brown frames (I own a Root Beer pair of Flak Jackets and a Brown Smoke pair of Canteens. The Canteens are actually pretty similar to these in the front. They are aggressive and edgy, but not over the top.
They are great, but for those with a smaller nose, I would recommend trying them on. I wasn't able to...
