Comments about Oakley Radar Path Sunglasses:

I carefully investigated these glasses prior to purchase. The high level of hype on the Oakley website caused a bit of skepticism with regard to the the Radar's "advanced" features. This is also the most expensive pair of sunglasses I have ever owned. I am happy to report that, after three months, I have been extremely pleased with this excellent product. They don't slip, they don't fog and they don't even get smudged very much. I run them under the tap every week or so, then wipe them off. I am also most impressed with the length of the temple pieces. I have a long, narrow head and these glasses fit like they were custom made. Remarkable.

Comments about Oakley Radar Path Sunglasses:

At first I was skeptical about the hype about Oakleys since I never owned a pair and previously had Smiths and Natives. I still own my Natives and they work great on centuries and long rides. Then I decided to try these Radars. Wow, big difference: great optics, nice wide lens that doesn't get fogged from my cheeks, stays on in crosswinds and even when perspiring up a grueling climb. The longest I've ridden in my Oakleys is 60 miles but I'm sure it would be great for centuries or longer.

Comments about Oakley Radar Path Sunglasses:

These are a great upgrade from my previous M Frames, they fit with a helmet (Atmos) better and resist sweat and dust with the hydrophobic coating which acctually works. The only lesser side is that there is not much of this coating on the inner surface of the lens which does encounter a bit of sweat. Wear performance grasses for there ability to perform and not their looks and you will never go wrong with oakley.

I dont think I'll ever where anything else when I'm running. I have several different sets of lenses and these things have taken a beating. I've run many marathons in these and wear them them day to day.

Comments about Oakley Radar Path Sunglasses:

I researched these sunglasses very carefully before I purchased them. I had Smith sunglasses before but, did not like the polarized lenses and they were getting too small. Yes, these are very pricey, but you only have one set of eyes that are worth protecting. The other main point to purchase these would be the option of changing out lenses. That was important to me, I didn't want three or four pairs of glasses with different lenses. Whether you are mowing the lawn or out for a long bike ride these will fit the job. Yes, they truly are an outstanding pair of sunglasses. For Christmas I bought my brother a pair with Range lenses. Those were his favorite present!

I have a slightly larger head than most others and these sunglasses fit my head perfectly. I have owned other Oakley's in the past and this pair is by far the best one I have owned.

Snow shoeing

Comments about Oakley Radar Path Sunglasses:

I'm an active person: snow shoeing, wind surfing, back country skiing, golf, cycling. These sun glasses are very comfortable. No aches from the stems that you get from other sun glass(as I have had with the Smith brand). So far they have remained secure while active. Though I would not use while wind surfing without attaching floaters. They also remain secure on top of my head when necessary to flip them up there. These do not have polarized lenses. I would recommend getting sun glasses with polarized lenses if most activity is around snow and/or water.

Comments about Oakley Radar Path Sunglasses:

i bought these because i believed the hype. in reality, they are good, but not
great, and for the money I spent, I have some serious doubts about the value. They do fog when I ride my bike, though they clear quickly. The nose piece isn't as sticky as they make it sound. When I sweat they tend to shift a little. I haven't really tested out the hydrophobic lenses. I got these for 20% off, and I wouldn't pay more than that for sure.

Stick with M-frames

Comments about Oakley Radar Path Sunglasses:

The rubber nosepiece constantly detaches itself when taking off or putting on glasses or when cleaning them. Very poor design. Glasses fog up while riding on cold days during hard efforts (had to actually take them off while riding up Lookout Mountain to be able to see the road), while my M-frames only ever fog while stopped at red lights and then clear as soon as I'm going again. Definitely NOT am improvement over M-frames!
