Very stylish and super light weight. 20g on my scale. They give a pretty snug fit even though they have these extremely thin ear stems. The ends of the ear stems are only about 1.5 inches apart when the frames are completely open and rely on the slight flex of the lens to widen the gap when you put them on. I imagine this stresses the attachment points but they look well constructed. Unlike the attachments on the Why 8.0-8.2 there isn’t a screw head, but rather a very small plastic hex nut. The fit is great with full coverage (almost like a M-Frame Strike, but a closer fit and slightly smaller). As usual, the polarization is superb and then tungsten tint has nice contrast. The case is nice too. It weight 9 times as much as the glasses at 180g, and seems bomb proof. It is felt lined and the glasses do not come with the classic Oakley bag but a slick lens cloth with a HDO emblem on it. The only thing about the case is that is it SO smooth and seamless and cylindrical that it is sometime hard to open with extremely dry or wet hands. It is too slick almost. A great stylish look, and we’ll see now their Nano-ish construction holds up, but I expect no problems. Thumbs up.

These are great. So lightweight you forget you're wearing them, very secure fit with the memory metal arms gripping the side of your head. Brilliant coverage. I rotate through my collection (37 assorted pairs of Oakleys as at today) so they don't get a huge amount of use but they're great in e.g. bright winter days especially after snow because the wraparound shield keeps the light out around the edges. They do seem a bit fragile - although I think they're actually stronger than they look - and because there is no frame as such and the lens is so huge and unprotected they're not the most practical of glasses if you need to keep taking them off. You more or less have to carry the case with you because otherwise you could easily damage the lens just putting them down somewhere. Forget hanging them from the neck of your shirt by one arm! I tend to just leave them on, even indoors, unless it's really dim, rather than take them off and break them or scratch them while out in the world. The case can be a bit awkward to open as others have mentioned. Because they rely on flex to actually wear, I tend to put these on quite carefully trying to ensure that I only bend the arms not the lens - spreading the ends of the arms apart just far enough to slide them past the temples. If you do it right you reduce the load on the (easily cracked) arm mountings and the thin central section of the lens itself over the nosebridge. They also take a bit of care when cleaning them as there's nothing you can really grip with one hand while polishing with the other, fortunately they don't seem to get dirty very easily. One point deducted for impracticality and the non-adjustable nosebridge. A flawed gem of a design.

Hello, I have a Nano Wire 3.0 (SKI 12-919) and I love this glass, but I lost the nose plaque. Unfortunatelly Oakley-Brazil told me they do not carry this accessorty kit anymore, since it is a 2007 model... Any help would be much appreciated, once I don'n want to replace this by another model as Oakley-BR proposed to me. I just want a simple accessory (plaque) to avoid it marking my nose as the lens are still perfect and the glass this fantastic.
Thanks a lot for any clue on how to fix it.
