Looking for some alternatives to SPY and Under Armour I found these and thought I'd give Oakley a shot - I generally don't like the brand as being too popular and widely worn - not much different than buying a Camry or Accord "everyone's got one" but as these fairly inexpensive I put them in my cart.  Couple days later (thanks Amazon Prime) they arrived in perfect condition - no damage to the outer box and the packing inside was adequate and protected the sunglasses from damage.  The Oakley box wasn't much to look at compared to even less expensive brands IMO Oakley could do a bit nice (and probably has in the past) job with it's presentation.  Opening the box contains the glasses (duh!), the drawstring cover/lens cloth and more printed material than I received with my last  wireless tablet - basically it's the warranty card and warranty description.

On to the glasses - I probably have a bit larger head than most but "pumpkin" by no means - these fit tight in the temple area which is great for activities where some sunglasses may fly off your noggin - these probably won't even though there's no rubber along the ridge of the temples.  Speaking of temples these are fairly straight and thin so if you're looking for a pair of glasses to go under a helmet (for motorcycling, etc) they may work well - I ride and that's always a challenge to find sunglasses that don't have too much curve or are too thick in the temples.  The lens area are adequate but you do catch a bit of the bottom rim in your view even when you're not glancing down - after a bit you stop noticing but this might be annoying to some - most popular models of "sport" sunglasses are rimless at the bottom of the frames and don't have this issue but this style you kind of know that going in.  The hinges seem to be of good quality - they don't make noise or seem weak or flimsy.  If you typically rest your sunglasses around your neck with the backs of the temples holding them on the back of your neck you probably can't with these for a couple of reasons - one there's no rubber to keep them from slipping and two the temples are very straight.  You couldn't put croakers or similar retention bands on them either since the temples are tapered and still pretty tall at their ends - they're probably not a good choice if you have to take them on and off often without folding them and placing them in a shirt pocket, etc.  The optical quality is very good the level of tint is fine - not too dark or light - they don't really have a gradient at the top of the lens which is fine - I personally find that a bit distracting as most windshields in cars have that too.

The overall quality is good but Oakley could have rounded or finished the edges of the temples a bit more as they almost feel "sharp" - that's where the "cheap" comes in - when you pick these up by the temples that's your first impression - "are these genuine Oakley's?  I almost cut myself!"  I may take some 800 grit sandpaper and take the edge off of the bottom of the temples this weekend.

All-in-all if you get a good deal (I'd say under $65) and if you're in the market for a new pair of "Oaks" I'd consider buying.
