Very Disappointing

Date: July 10, 2009

Pros: Comfortable
Cons: Fogs up, too easily bent at temples, finish doesn't hold up

I bought these based on their style and the strength of the Oakley name. I've been very happy with their sunglasses in the past, but these frames have been a big disappointment. The temples will not hold an adjustment and bend with practically no pressure. The finish is pathetic as well. The “O's” on the arms had black paint on them. I scraped it off with my fingernail. That is purely inexcusable from a quality name like Oakley. My old frames were ten times more durable than these. I like the style and the light weight of these frames, but their durability is a major issue. I bought them to wear doing everything but am afraid to get do anything rough while wearing them for fear of tearing an arm off. Oakley really dropped the ball on these.
