OIL DRUM Matte Black/Grey (03-406)

OIL DRUM Matte Black/Grey (03-406)

OIL DRUM Sunglasses When the premier edition of OIL DRUM sunglasses hit the streets, people got out of its way. That kind of thing tends to happen when a perfect storm of science and art makes style so aggressively original that it calls down its own thunder. The idea of outdoing it was the furthest thing from our minds but when the legends of sports, music and life called it their own, we felt obligated. This new edition comes with redesigned stems that carve even more dimension with sculptural grooves and new icons. Durable yet lightweight O MATTER® frame material is shaped with a unique geometry that offers a comfortable fit on medium to large faces. We engineered it with sculpturally integrated hinges that work with dual cam action, and shaped the contours to create 8.75 base lens curvature. That’s how it offers such a wide peripheral view, and thanks to HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) and XYZ OPTICS®, you get razor-sharp clarity at every angle of vision. PLUTONITE® lens material helps protect that vision with 100% UV filtering. All that technology achieves a design that meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for optical performance and impact protection. This frame can be fitted with Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses (+2.0 to -3.0 combined power) in a wide range of options. For the non-prescription version, you can choose lenses with IRIDIUM® coating that balances light transmission and reduces glare. Optional Oakley polarized lenses remove 99% of glare without the haze and optical distortion found with ordinary polarized lenses. As far as lens color, go with Black IRIDIUM® or Grey Polarized for truer color perception in bright sun, or Grey for the same benefit in medium-bright sun. Select the Dark Bronze or Bronze Polarized lenses for enhanced visual contrast and improved depth perception in bright sunlight. Comfortable fit on medium to large faces via extended wrapped frame geometry Precision and durability of sculpturally integrated hinge mechanisms with dual action CAM Durability and all-day comfort of lightweight, stress-resistant O Matter® frame material Integrated sculptural metal icon accents Optimized peripheral view and side coverage of 8.75 lens curvature Optical precision and impact resistance meet or exceed ANZI Z87.1 optical and basic impact standards UV protection of Plutonite® lens material that filters out 100% of UVA / UVB / UVC & harmful blue light up to 400nm Maximized clarity at all angles of vision with patented Oakley XYZ Optics® Glare reduction and tuned light transmission of Iridium® lens coating Available with Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses (+2.00 through -3.00 combined power)

Pros: Comfortable

First, I love the design. The thick bulging style of the glasses is a major reason I decided to go w/ these. I've only had these for a few months and wear them all the time. My one disapointment is with what feels like a somewhat flimsy build.

My experience w/ most Oakley products is that they are very durable. Yet, while the glasses were in my cargo pocket over the summery, one of the sides unclipped. While easy to fix and completely possible that I bumped into something rather abruptly cuasing it to unclip, I was unnerved. I was able to clip the side right back into the groove and there is not lasting issue. Who knows, maybe if it didn't unclip the frame would have cracked and I would have been REALLY upset. This, nonetheless, makes me nervous about how durable they will be when I take them snowboarding this winter.

Other than this incident, I have no complaints. The glasses get many compliments.
