Polarized INMATE Sunglasses We don't mind being repeat offenders when it comes to thrashing the world's idea of performance, and we're not above taking a two-fisted approach when we see what passes for style. Take a look at INMATE and you'll see why it busts out of the shackles that keep ordinary sunglasses restrained, sedate and spineless. Assertive style with a honed edge, it's a look that refuses to be caged or even take orders, for that matter. Five metal compounds are fused to create durable C-5™, a lightweight alloy that unlocks comfort. The frame makes contact only at the nose bridge and temples, thanks to a Three-Point Fit that utilizes UNOBTAINIUM® components to increase grip with sweat. HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) offers unbelievable clarity while letting us contour the lenses to open up your peripheral view. Our PLUTONITE® lens material blocks 100% of all UVA, UVB and UVC, and even stops harmful blue light up to 400nm. When it comes to impact protection, INMATE meets all ANSI Z80.3 Industrial Standards. Oakley polarized lenses are engineered to block the blinding, eye-straining rays of glare that are magnified by flat surfaces such as snow, water and pavement. We make polarized lenses with a liquid infusion process that bonds the lens material to the polarizing filter at the molecular level, eliminating the haze and distortion that sinks performance with ordinary polarized lenses. That’s how we achieve an astounding polarization efficiency of 99% with the best possible clarity and optical fidelity. Ultra-lightweight hi-modulus C-5™ frame material Optimized peripheral vision and side protection of twin toric lens curvature Comfort and performance of Three-Point Fit that holds lenses in precise optical alignment Optical precision and performance that meets all ANSI Z80.3 standards Impact resistance that meets all ANZI Z80.3 standards UV protection of Plutonite® lens material that filters out 100% of UVA/UVB/UVC & harmful blue light Glare reduction and tuned light transmission of Iridium® lens coatings Minimized glare via technology that produces the best polarized lenses on the planet with greater than 99% polarization efficiency Patented hydrophilic Unobtanium® earsocks ensure a snug, secure fit

My 2nd Polarised lense sunglasses
Date: August 30, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, No glare Cons: i can see reflection, not hydrophobic, not in hard case
I am a polarised-lense addict. I have to get a least one new pair every year.
The INMATE is a beautiful pair to wear but I found that when you put them on, you can see the faint reflection of the two nose grips.
I look forward to the day when Oakley sunglasses comes in hard cases. For many of us who travel abroad with a backpack we like to squeeze them into our backpack without a worry that they won't be damaged or bend out of shape. After all, we need to protect our investment.

I HAVE BOTH POLARIZED ONES!!
Date: August 22, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, No glare
These glasses are SICK! I bought the Light/Black Iridium polarized a couple of months ago and fell in love, so much so that today I bought the Shiny Black/VR28 Black Iridium polarized!
They are the perfect blend of style and cool. I get compliments on them wherever I go. The polarized lenses are out of this world, it's amazing the clarity they bring to everything, they are especially great on the lake!
The only negative I can see is that they are a little heavy, I wore them for 4 hours once and it was a long time.

Pros: Durable, Optimal clarity, very cool Cons: i can see my own eyes
These are sick. The polarization, HDO, and the slightly red-hinted will allow you to see colors and shades that you didn't even know existed, like LSD without the psychosis. I got these at the Mall of America and they gave me a month to decide if I liked them or not, I don't think I could ditch them, they're bomb. Also, they're made in America, so you know you're helping American workers.
