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.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these glasses and am so sad to learn after 2 pairs and my husband accidentally breaking mine, they do not sell them anymore. Does anyone know where I can get replacement lenses for the 2 pairs that I have? I would greatly appreciate any information.

I loved these glasses but unfortunately the lenses seem to crack at where the nut connects. If it wasnt for this, easily 5 out of 5. Im on my second lense from Warranty and has cracked again and now scared of using them for daily use.

So have ordered the plaintiff aviators!

Very comfortable and lightweight with near-perfect coverage. I barely notice they are on my face. The VR28 lens has excellent contrast and the polarization is flawless. I do question the durability of these glasses as others have - I fear dropping them. But they do look awesome and I've had several people ask me where I got them. Throw in the solid case with a large microfiber cloth and you have a must buy set for any Oakley fan.

Build quality and finishing is what I would expect from $300 glasses, but I only give 2 stars because this design relies on the flex of the lens for tension. As a Zero wearer for a decade, I am well experienced with the weakening and cracking of the lens at the nose bridge during normal use. The flexible earstems mean the lens doesn't flex as much as the Zero design, but I still would not buy them expecting them to hold up like other Oakley wire designs. Still got a pair, though, for my hip fauxhawk days.

If Bono was to sport an Oakley, I think these will be it. ;) I would classify this as a pair of nice fashion sunglasses by Oakley. Nice to wear these when I want to take a break from other O-Matter or X-Metal Oakleys. Very smooth and stylish design. The lens provide suberperb coverage and the curve of the lens is just right for my face, all it take is some adjustment of the nose pieces for perfect fit. These are super lightweight which I like. Too bad these are discontinued.

Ive been wanting to get these for the longest time, and finally did. They are definitely worth the price tag, and any Oakley fanatic would know that the sick looks and HDO lens combo is a must have. The first day I got them and picked them up, I truly understood what Oakley meant to accomplish.

Arms: The lightweight nanowire arms provide excellent grip, a comfortable wrap around style, and memory metal technology which is definitely cooler than one would think. The only thing that I am slightly confused about, is why my Nanowire 3.0's have Nanowire 1.0 arms on them. Maybe Oakley decided to reuse the left over ones? Either way they are sick.

Frame: Or lack there of, completes the shield lens with a sleek performance style.

Lenses: When looking through them you have unlimited vision as well as peripheral vision. After a while it seems as if you aren't wearing them. All I can say is Oakley HDO plus polarized, the perfect fit.

Fit: Great fit, They are the perfect snugness, and sit perfectly on my head. They will not come off no matter what, even if you have a jackhammer in your head. Only thing I dont like is that I do wish that the nose piece was adjustable.

Overall: These are great looking shades, with an ultralight great feel to them. My favorite pair of Oakley's so far. Go get some!

The nano wire 3.0 is a great pair & I love the one lens. The black on black looks great. Also, the memory wire helps to have a comfortable fit. You can't go wrong w/ having this pair. Especially w/ the hydrophobic lens helps give you better lens quality than just a polarized lens alone.

As the previous reviewers have said: very stylish, very lightweight, very comfortable. Without being overly flashy like an x-metal, this, in its architecture, is one of the most unique styles Oakley has ever produced. I like my sunglasses on the larger side, and I like the "rock star" look, i.e. Oil Drum, Crosshair, Warden, etc. so these are right up my alley. Although these might be a little more "Hollywood" than rock star. Whatever that means.

The lack of weight is a tad strange at first, but after a week of wearing these, I don't know how I can go back to "heavy" frames. The lenses are a pleasure to look through, and the total lack of rim is kind of cool as it opens your field of vision that much more.

The included case and cleaning cloth are a great touch.

Worth the money? To me, totally.

Wasn't sure I really liked these when I first saw them because they are a little metrosexual looking for me. But they reminded me of a pair of glasses my dad gave me 20 years ago when this style(with a frame) was in style. I tried them on and they fit great on my m-l head. Really liked the coverage too as I will be using them for driving a convertible. Decided to pick them up...what the hell, right? After getting a haircut, I liked the way they looked a lot more. Really, I REALLY liked them. Maybe they grew on me in that hour. Wore them for a roadtrip this past weekend and they performed great through blazing sun and 2 thunderstorms. Now I am really impressed. They are also the style in fashion now so that's cool. I think they will be used a lot this year but the nano 1 and 2 I also bought will get more wear in the long run. I do hope this style stays in style cuz $300 is a pretty pricey fashion fad.

Very stylish, I feel like Will Smith when I were these. They are super super light weight. I love the memory flex titanium and since they are all polarized and they all have the new hydrophobic lens coatings you can not go wrong. Plus they all come with this sick carbon fiber case.
