Frame: Brushed Chrome

This is the type of frame you will either love or hate. I have a pretty small face/head so these fit pretty well. If you have anything larger than a medium size head these will probably not fit. I love the smaller lens size on this frame which looks better on me than the larger sizes that you find on so many of the aviator style glasses.
As stated above the frames do seem to be heavier than they should be, probably because the frames are relatively thick around the orbitals. I dont have much issue with this because I wear glasses with a pretty heavy prescription when I dont have my contacts in. When I compare them to some of my other Oakley frames they fall on the heavy side, but not the heaviest.
These do have a somewhat unique look to the because of the flat nature of the frame. They have no wrap to speak of at all. I dont consider it a bad thing, just different. It definitely a frame you want to try on before you by because of the look.
I gave them four skulls for unique design but heavy weight.

They do not feel like the Oakleys I am used to wearing and they were too flat for me. I did manage to adjust them for my face by bending them to a wrap around. After bending at the nose bridge you had to adjust the ear pieces or they will squeeze your temples. It is important to bend ear pieces at cut out notches. I bent the ones closest the lens outward and the notches closer the ends of the ear pieces inward. I did this slowly little by little until my temples were relived of pressure.

Now I get better coverage from light and they look better since they are fit to my face.

Many people are negative about this one, actually I don't know why... The design is pretty cool IMO. Not such a smooth aviatior but a bit more industrial and sturdy looking, as is the feel.
You have to try them on to see if they look good on your face, but if they do a real must have.

They can look somewhat wide on your head, strange as the inmate looks like the bigger one of these. But these look wider because the frame isn't really curved. And if it fits your face the more straight frame will make it just as awesome as they are :)

These are a perfect fit for asians. Wide, Flat and good for small noses. I have already bought 3 of these. Thankfully there was a pair of "regular" oakley's that I didn't need to look for the "asian" fit. Just perfect.

The glasses are great because they can be had so cheaply. When bought for a third up to half of MSRP, they become a staple of the "Worn every day" part of the collection. They are aviator style. With that said, they are Oakley versions of classic aviators. They have both the pros of Oakley and the cons of the particular style. I find that people hate them because they are neither O-Matter or X-Metal, and they don't fit like Juliets or Gascans.
