Possibly the best Oakleys I've ever owned, perfect for my large head and the fit was perfect. The orange logo offset the black nicely, gave a nice classic look without being too loud.
Lost them on a Jet Ski and would kill to find these monsters again :)
On a large face, like mine, these fit well.
They have a good coverage and stay on really well. Recommended.

There aint something inherently wrong with them.Their shape is nice and classic with an original oakley touch,mostly seen on the earstems.It's just that they are really bulky.Oakley is,or was notorious for creating sleek fine designs,and obviously these don't fall into that category.Curves have always been an element of sleekness,and the eyepatch being such a big and thick pair of sunglasses without the slightest curve is just too much.At least for me.

Amazing fit. By far my favorite Oakley style. Glad to see that they are brining it back with the Eyepatch 2.0
Currently own every color combo with the exception of the Telemex signature and the Grey Smoke.

So first off I gotta say, these glasses are comfy. By far the most comfortable glasses Oakley has put out for awhile (for people with big heads) I am impressed with the comfort, although the overall size and shape of them does take a little getting used to, but it also does get many compliments. I'll give them a 4/5 just because of the lens size and shape. Don't get me wrong, I love these glasses and I wear them every day, but the lens size and shape does take some getting used to. Definitely pick this up if you have a massive head like myself. (7/34)

These rank among my favorite styles for Oakley. The frame is large enough that there is very little peripheral vision blockage. The awesome part about these is that they are not the most popular style out there, and that means two things: They are fairly unique and you can pick them up cheaply. I haven't paid more than $69 for a pair, and that was the pair with polarized lenses. I really like how the translucent frame and non-iridium lens combinations don't seem to contrast each other. The lack of a mirror finish on the lens makes both the frame and the lens reflect the same amount of light, and it makes for a very subdued, mellow look. My only issue with these is that the lenses are so large that when you fold the earstems too quickly, they can, and will, impact and possibly scratch the inside of the lens.

These are a great pair of sunglasses. Having a bigger head, i'm limited to just a few pairs of oakley shades...monster dogs, gascans, hijinx...etc. I Spotted these shades on a website for 65 dollars on clearance. I figured to just go for it due to how good the price was. I recieved them yesterday...and let me tell you...the quality of these shades is top notch. The lenses are amazing. I had a pair of Gascans i had lost prior to these shades....these are definitely different...but a great replacement. If you have a smaller head, i would recommend you go try them first.
Overall...a great pair of shades.

These glasses are great they wfit very well on the face and are extremely comfortable. By far my favorite pair of Oakley's. I own eight other pairs of glasses. I get the most compliments on these.

I see now why these aren't the most popular Oakleys... They are HUGE. Luckily for me, I have a pretty big noggin (7 5/8) so these fit me perfectly. These are my first Oakleys and I'm very impressed. At first they seemed very cheap because they were so light and flexible, but then I realized that's a good thing. The vision is amazing and the field of view on these is great. Did I mention they look sick as hell?
Only downside for me is that I won't be able to wear 'em once I break my nose. But that's a problem with all plastic frames with fixed nose pads.
I've already ordered a Matte Black with Black Iridums Polarized for those really bright days since the lenses on these are a bit weak, great for regular sunny days, though.

Awesome pair, big lense area!, perfect fit for me, no light leakage what so ever. I get more looks with these then any other pair i wear. Oakley did this design right for the big boys! 5 bones

I resisted for so long since my first Nicky Hayden EyePatch, but just had to give in now.
Gotta say, the coverage as always is extremely superb.
Its just amazing. As someone said, truly underestimated and also fits bigger / wider heads more.
Now I just wish that Oakley would reproduce these with hydrophobic and with black iridium lenses.
5 Stars coz its thats cool!

What's up O fellas? I'm sure you've seen me wear these bad boys on the hills. These glasses are off tha hook, top of the pops 4 real yo. I get looks all the time with them on. Not sure what else to say but to go get em.
Peace out

Nicky Hayden version. I managed to bargain it below US retail so I snapped it up.
The frame sits comfortably well on my nose. The orbitals are fantastic too, it goes all the way up and blocks off any light.
The huge lens also makes it possible to have more vision unobstructed.
Warm grey lens makes the surrounding look blue-ish a bit, which is calming. Find myself using it while driving at times.
More polarized versions please

Okay i own white gascans, and black oil rigs and now these eyepatches. These are def my least fav of the three but for some reason i get the most compliments about them. The brown sugar frame is actually extremely nice, its a subtle solid brown inside and in the shade but as soon as you hit sunlight or any direct light, the sparkle really comes to life and looks amazing. I think its the vr50 that's throwing me off a little bit, it looks nice but doesn't offer much sun protection. this combo is definitely all about fashion and style, and will def get you a lot of looks. If you want function i still say gascan is the best. oil rig a very close 2nd.

I was originally looking forward to a Nicky Hayden eyepatch but I'm glad to have this one as it really highlights the difference of the Eyepatch from the rest of the square O's newly released here in the Philippines. With the matte black frame contrasting the B.I. Polarized lenses, it is no longer just the bigger brother of a canteen or gascan. The coverage is great and fits comfortably light than my first Oakleys, which was Romeo (first gen). It's more sleek and versatile than Oil Drum or Monster Doggle, both of which I was saving for, and yet I ended up with this Eyepatch - and loved it a lot more.
This is my first polarized oakleys and it feels really awesome. Really got excited on that part. Soon maybe i'll get the Nicky Haydens (coz I'm a fan and I want to keep em too). For now, my eyepatch is what really rocks. Hoping for more oakleys for me in the future...

Big lens comfortable fit & what else besides it's the eyepatch. One way that I can rep the Raiders & Oakley. This model is great, cuz to me it completely covers my eyes. The stem design helps create the feeling like the frame is hugging my face. This frame is great even the Todd Francis design just makes it that much better. The art on the frame is sick(cool). I'm sure some people found it sick(nasty) do to the characters. Which i found comedic. This is my favorite design from the artist series. I have much love for this model.

This pair is comfortable on my big face and they are not heavy. So that’s good as well. l like the way they look now w/ the square "O" they look a lot better you get to see the shape of the stem more and it gives the glasses more edge. Now as for the print it looks amazing just like the London POPO some thing new for Oakley and a big step forward on Artist Series.

My largest and I have to say loudest pair of Oakleys so far. I'm Asian, have a small-medium face, and wearing this is actually not a problem. The fit is relatively tight and snug with the curved stems and it hangs on my head well when I'm not wearing it. Despite there being no Asian fit for the Eyepatch, I believe Oakley have taken the time (for their later models) to iron out the kinks and ensure that they will fit almost all faces, including Asian. (One exception though, based on reviews here, is the Hijinx.)
On a whim, I almost nearly bought a Hijinx online (without having tried one on at all; I just couldn't find one in Singapore, and maybe there was a reason for that). In retrospect, I'm glad it didn't materialize and that I got the Eyepatch instead...
Frame: Green Print

Aimed for people with larger heads, the Eyepatch will fit a large face way better than the Gascan for example. A great alternative to the Oakley Hijinx.
The Todd Francis edition is simply superb, Using the now familiar print process to recreate the artists work on the earpieces, This was followed through with the same artwork on the box, together with the microbag, to create a very unique and desirable sunglass.
Frame: Bottle Green
Lens: Grey
The Eyepatch fits very well. The orbitals have a nice wrap to cover the whole eye. These are very good sunglasses if you like the large frames.
Frame: brown sugar
Lens: vr50-brown gradient
The most comfortable frame for people with larger heads. I got compliments all the time when I'm out in the sun and the "candy" effect is at its full potential. I have girls that want to steal these from me all the time. Of course being a gradient lens, I wouldn't recommend them in bright sunlight. I mostly wear these on days that are mostly cloudy so when the sun comes out for a few minutes, people really see the detail in the frame.

I can see no one did there home work here... I think the Eye Patch is very under estimated, due to the fact that it has such big lenses with small sides, wich makes them look to big in the display... but if more people would just try them on, they would see it's a pretty good fit. It's actualy the one that sells the most in the stretch line. I strongly suggest, if you like eyewear with big lenses, that you try them out next time you drop at an O-Store, you'll be surprised, even womens...
