Strengths: very strong and they look real coolWeaknesses: not a good wind breaker and if you had to buy them they realy eat up your walletBottom Line: get these if you got the cash they rock never try enything better except the okley thumps (there way better).iff you dont have the money stay away because they will send you to the street but if you do get as many as you want maybe even one for every day of the week (lol). Oh and you better keep a shot gun in your pack because someone is probably going to try and steal right off your face they are so awsome.

Hardcore frameWeaknesses: SizeBottom Line: This Oakleys are the bomb, with the fusion of the Romeo arms and Juliet Lens contour with Oakley unique solid construction this glasses are virtually undestructible also with ANSI test approved these glasses can been hit by an object up to 102MPH and the glasses will be there protecting your eyes like something that happends to me while biking.
Highly Recommended glasses.

Strengths: + Great design
+ functional
+ excellent fit
+ quality of workmanship and materials usedWeaknesses: - Metal arms can be painful for some people
- Somewhat heavyBottom Line: For stylish sunglasses, there is only one brand name for me - Oakley. They have it all, from DH goggles to post-ride chilling out shades.
I have the X-metal TiO2 and 24k models. There's no way that I wear either of these on the trail, simply because they are so expensive and are not particularly suited for riding. I like to wear them for most non-biking related situations.
Another thing about Oakley - they have excellent customer service. I own a few pairs of Oakleys and when one of them breaks I can take them down to their service center and get them repaired or replaced (usually for a nominal charge). That makes the high initial expenditure for them seem worth the investment, IMHO.
If you buy these, you will like them. Go ahead and splurge. =)

Strengths: Great UV protection and no glare at all, gives you a really good outlook on the world.Weaknesses: Price (as always with oakley)Bottom Line: If you've got the cash spare they are the best. Great for larger faces because other glasses just look too small.

Strengths:
The best for blocking out harmful rays, I work on the ocean, and these allow your eyes to feel great all day.Weaknesses: Their price. Oakley is making a pretty penny on these. But I guess the guys in R&D deserve it.Bottom Line: Oakley stands behind their glasses, I got mine scratched up and took it to a different Oakley outlet, they changed the lenses for me, and ended up giving me a new set of glasses for the price of the replacement lenses (70 bucks). There was a defect in the screw hole, which is why they gave me a new set.

Strengths: Will slip off my noseWeaknesses: Lens prone to scratchesBottom Line: Will stay in place while I'm biking. Lens are a bit dark when I'm going through the woods and it's cloudy. So now I use a pair of Nike Interchange Square shades and use the amber lenses. I save the Metal XX for stylin' after my bike ride:->
