Frame: Brown Smoke
Lens: Dark Bronze
In the past buying your Oakleys without trying them on first wasn't much of a problem as long as you knew the overall fit of their styles. In the recent year that adage has gone out the window with the radical style change o-matter frames have undergone. So when I did this with the new stretchline piece, Twitch, I was pleasantly surprised to get a pair of glasses that fit so well and comfortably.
Larger than the new Five 3.0 and a superb head-on mimic for the Gascan, the Twitch comes across as the smoothest embodiement of and the proper mid ground for Os new edgier stylings. Square lenes are the new welcome change and with a lower base curve one shouldn't worry about the orbitlas hitting their cheek bones or being too tight on the temples.
Though the stems may look short upon initial view they are the perfect length for medium heads and bring back just the proper amount of curve one would expect as the stem comes to an end. Even with the simpler look of the entire frame the sculpting of the earstems are very reminiscent of the classic Frogskin and so artfully doen that each segment seems to flow from hinge to stems end.
Frame: Grape - Oakley Text
Lens: Grey Polarized
The text pattern on the frame is quite subtle on this one, but that is kind of appealing. When I showed it to a few friends they were very impressed. Just proves that less is sometimes more. Overall a very nice pair of shades and you can't complain about the price considering the polarized lenses. The fit great and they don't break the bank. I'm not too excited about grey as a base tint however.
Frame: Polished Black
Lens: Warm Grey
WOW! These are great! I don't know why they didn't keep these going. Number one, they're lightweight. 2, they are VERY comfortable, and 3, they fit my Asian Face! The Warm Grey is awesome! I did a review on those, but I think I was misled and mixed them up with the regular grey. Coverage is awesome, and the fit is nearly perfect. Seems like a smaller Eyepatch 1.0. Great buy if you can find one!
*I would recommend that IF you buy from eBay, make sure they are 100% reputable. I bought a pair because they're nearly impossible to find, and "minor scratches" and "no noticeable issue", well the whole entire exterior surrounding on the lens was peeling. This is really upsetting because I really enjoy the warm grey. Oh well. His name is: paul4409

I'm fairly indifferent to this model. I bought them because they were part of the Stretchline series. They're cool, just not my style.
Frame: black
Lens: warm grey
For me, these shades fit PERFECT! I can wear them all day and never know that they are on my head. They look really cool also. IMO, the stretchline makes it look a whole better than the square O.
Frame: Brown Smoke
Lens: Dark Bronze
These glasses with the stretchline logo are extremely rare here in Manila. I got them for my girlfriend at a really good price from eBay.They fit asian faces well. The over-all look is great, with an understated class. The frame fits almost any outfit well, and the Dark Bronze lenses offer good protection in the light to brightest environments. I gave it 4 stars out of 5 since the frame's retro style may not appeal to other face shapes.

I bought the Sheckler just to complete my small Stretchline Collection (one piece of each model) and I was not that impressed. The shape is really nice when it's sitting in the vitrine, but I thought it looks ridiculous on me. Half a year later I wore them just for fun and took some pics... and they looked awesome. Now I have 4 Twitches and I think I'll also get the remaining 2. They are
-light
-have a very good coverage despite the low curve
-nice Combos (2 text ones!)
but the main attraction is how they look. Kind of Old School... but still very fresh. For me beside the Montefrio THE unique model Oakley made in the last 2 years.
Frame: Cream
Lens: Bronze
I've been looking for a Stretchline model that fits me well for quite some time now. Finally coming across the Twitch and seeing it in real life made me instantly buy it. The look of the non-iridium lens combined with the gold stretch logo makes it very classy. In the beginning I wasn't really satisfied with the Cream frame option, but I'm getting used of it.
Frame:Polished Black - Oakley Text
Lens:Black-Grey Gradient
I really wanted a pair of twitches and in my eyes this was the only option as the grape text did not look different enough form the gasan grape.
These are amazing, the text on the inside is very obvious as it is black text over a grey base so it really stands out. The box that is comes with is very cool and its always great to get a new lens. most of the new combos are coming with the same group of lenses so to have a gradient option is very cool.
The only thing wrong with these is the fit is a little smaller than id like, size wise they are close to the 5.3 but are a tighter fit.
Frame: brown smoke
Lens: dark bronze
the twitch is to me what the frogskin was in the Mumbo era , just a cool looking sunglass, that fits very comfortable, big plus is the stretch icon logo, which seperate this one from the CANTEEN who is more mainstream. the feel and fit is near perfect, and this one is also very suitable for women. the frame and lenscolour i chose makes it wear you long after most of the sun has gone. all in all ; just cool and stylish
Frame: Grape - Oakley Text
Lens: Grey Polarized
I'm a huge fan of the Oakley Text frames and when I saw they made one in the Twitch with Grape/Text, I had to get it. The Grape text is really nice. You really can't see the text unless light goes through it though but it adds a real nice surprise in the light. I wish it would be possible to be able to see the text more. I'm not a big fan of the polarized but these are ok. The frame is very nice and light weight. I think it might be a better fit on smaller to medium size heads. Still, the fit is decent with my big head.
Frame: Black
Lens: Warm Grey
These are probably Oakley's attempt to attract the budget customer. They're not very flashy but they're sturdy, comfortable, and very functional. Visually, the only thing that stands out are the earstems, and they bear a strong head-on resemblance to Gascans.
Frame:Cream
Lens:Bronze
my second choice for the twitchs. Sadly this isnt a matte cream like the original EJ version its more polished which isnt as nice. but the cream and the bronze of the lens work well together but its hard to pull off a white or cream frame unless your rocking a tan.
Frame:Black
Lens:Warm Grey
These look great. Very retro looking and the dark combo looks simple and smart. they are a little rigid but comfortable even with a big head. the only reason i didnt buy these straight away was cos i was buying a black/black oildrum at the same time.
these will definately be the twitchs i choose when i do get a pair.
Frame: Polished Black
Lens: Warm Grey
I have to say this is my first strecthline glass and i absolutley love it, it fits like no other glass i own it has a nice comfortable fit, the lenses is very nice a great clarity on this one, overall has to be my favorite right now.
Frame: Polished Black - Oakley Text
Lens: Black-Grey Gradient
First off, this is a really nice version of the Twitch. The Oakley Text on the back of these is a really nice, unique detail. The style in itself is pretty mainstream. The gradient lens adds to the style and stands out. The fit on these on me are ok. They aren't as good as the eyepatch because my head is big, but surprisingly, these fit good. The frame is very lightweight and eye coverage is excellent.
Frame: Polished Black
Lens: warm grey
I was not really taking to much notice of these. They came to my attention from reading these reviews. So I hunted them down to try them on and walked out the store with them. I find the fit very comfortable, not putting presure on any one point. The styling is in following of the newer lines Oakley has been making, but it kinda reminds me of the Buddy Holly style glasses. Having the stretch logo suits it better than the icon, and the warm grey lens is really nice, I hope they do more warm grey instead of just grey.
Is it a pair worth buying. 100%
Frame: Polished Black
Lens: Warm Grey
I'll have to agree with Phil's review on these. The low base curve ensures better fit for a wider range of head sizes and the earstems are just right and have incredible styling. The styling seems somewhat retro, kind of a throwback to the original Frogskin with modern accents. The Warm Grey lens is different than what you'd expect for a Grey lens. It has almost a rose/bronze base and does exactly what the name implies, it "warms" colors up. I don't find it especially good in extremely bright light, but for low/medium lighting it works quite well. And it's the only grey lens that increases contrast. That and these glasses are Stretchline, so go get 'em!

This is an absolutely awesome new release from Oakley. It is simple in design but it has a very unique look and feel to it. The square shape of them gives them a funky edginess. The Ryan Sheckler edition comes with a very cool box and the Oakley text frame is amazing. You can see a little of the text coming through around the edge of the orbitals. Very cool. I also like the small embossed icons on the very end of the earstems. For a moderately priced model, the Twitch has been given quite a few unique details and I am a huge fan. It totally outshines Shaun White's Montefrio imho. I wonder how much input Ryan Sheckler actually had in this project. Whatever the case, I think this pair is a great addition to any collection or a great everyday pair.
Frame: Grape
Lens: Grey Pol.
As for the frame itself, I think it's one of those that doesn't immediately appeal to most due to it's flat base curve and boxy lens style. But I'm going to say that it will grow on most folks. I felt very Men In Black when I first tried on a pair. Great fit, somewhere between Five 3.0 and Gascan.
The Grape script frame was a bit of a disappointment. Love the grape, love the idea of the script ... but the script is such a fine and subdue detail that no one would ever notice unless you told them about it or showed someone with direct sunlight passing through the frame.
Frame: Grape Text
Lens: Grey (Polarized)
These shades are cool. Very retro, just imagine putting on your parents' old skool sunglasses, but not overtly old looking that it's unusable. Fits Asian faces well. Cut hinges are interesting, and this is my only stretchline pair. The text is basically impossible to see unless you're out in the blazing sun. My major complaint is that it's stems are too short, making propping it on my head (as I do for all my Oaks when not in use) very precarious. With little grip there, they could fall off at any moment with a sudden head movement.

great looking pair the oakley text gives it that uniqueness. sweet fit very confortable. when you are wearing it you dont notice the gradient good for bright to semi bright lighting

Okay, I work for an O-Store. I bought the polished black and my co-worker bought the grape with grey polar. I must say that although I not like how light the grey is, the glass itself is very impressive! It feels about eleventy billion times better (read: sturdy and better quality) then Five 3.0s!!! Also in the works is a pair of White Twitch with the OAKLEY on the arm in GREEN
