I lost my original minutes, back in 2006, from a car accident. I've had various pairs after but always missed the Minutes. Since I've become part of the SI program, I figured I'd pick these up. They look a lot bigger and bulkier than they really are. These are my "active" work glasses (firefighting/inspecting). I don't take them in fires with me, though. Anyway, the lenses are good at blocking out light and have the hydrophobic coating. The SI frame is basic and not flashy (which I like). I have a smaller face so it fits mine pretty darn well. The unobtanium doesn't disappoint---works just like it's supposed to. I thought the lugs were unobtanium but they're not. Still, the "O" icon on the sides lets everyone know you're wearing the best damn eye wear out there
Frame: Matte black(USStandard issue) and cinder red
Lens: Polarized grey (per above) and black iridium
I am active duty and needed a pair to replace my XXs (which have been to hell and back). I actually wanted to replace the XX lenses but SI doesnt carry that and oakley sells the lenses for 50-75 bucks
Well, I instead got the minutes 2.0, they are very similar to the XXs except they are a tad smaller and there are no nosebombs. During my workouts, the nosepieces are slippery, this did not happen with my XXs(-1 star). I use flaks during my runs instead
Within 1 week tho, the lens got scratched as I was throwing them in and out of my flight suit (filled with zippers) and failed to put them in protective case
Also got a pair of the cinder red/black iridium for 40 bucks at the oakley vault. I love the color, looks almost black unless you are in the sunlight, then it turns into a nice darker candy apple red.
Frame: Metallic Black
Lens: Black Iridium Polarized
I have a smaller profile and the Minute 2.0 live up to their reputation for such noggins. The fit is very similar to the Monster Pup, except the Minute 2.0 adds the use of Unobtainium for a much better seating. Although the styling of the frame is not my favorite, I still find myself reaching for my Minute 2.0s when I want a sports pair that I know won't fall off my head.
I also really enjoy the Metallic Black frame. It looks much better in the sun than indoors or on an overcast day.

Lens: VR28 Black
I feel the Minute did not need an upgrade, but many models have been moved to the current styles. This along with the Straight Jacket take similar cues, and feature a faux temple lug. This allows for some design coloration and gives it a unique look. Functionally they fit well and are comfortable. The choice of colors does help and is consistent with earlier Minute offerings.
Frame: Brown tortise
Lens: Bronze Polarized
Great frame and nice update ofthe minute. A little bit bigger and extremely comfortable. Even someone with a medium large head can wear these if they don't like a huge lens.
