Favoriate Trail:Los Gatos Creek Trail
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $99.00
Purchased At:www.ATGsunglasses.com
Strengths:Destruction resistant Aircraft Aluminum frames.
Exceptional tight fit. Sun, wind, and dirt wont get in.
Lifetime Rebuild warranty.
Weaknesses:Everybody wants to buy these glasses right off of my face.
Similar Products Used:Oakley

Bottom Line:Gatorz makes the best sunglasses all around. These are great for biking, hiking, and boarding, as well as driving around town.

These glasses are extremely durable due to their Aircraft Aluminum construction. I have dropped them many times on the rocks and they did not get damaged.

I got a great deal at www.ATGsunglasses.com and they have a larger selection of Gatorz than most other stores.

Favoriate Trail:whatever is in my way
Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
Price Paid: $140.00
Purchased At:Sunglass Warehouse
Strengths:Gatorz are the strongest sunglasses I have ever used. The lenses are awesome just like the design. They look and feel like they will outlast anyone alive today! Replaced my Oakleys with these and proud of it.
Weaknesses:None at all.
Similar Products Used:Oakley, Black Flys (cannot compare either).
Bottom Line:Well read their rebuild agreement. Lets say two years after I purchased them, I am riding down a hill and they fall off. My buddy behind me runs them over and they get bent out of whack....well Gatorz says "bring them in or send them in with $40 and get your NEW PAIR!!!!!"

Cannot beat that anywhere. PERIOD. The best aluminum sunglasses and first ones at that.

Favoriate Trail:what ever is ahead of my front tire
Duration Product Used:3 months
Strengths:They won't break, or let the sun in.
Weaknesses:Well.... none really, but the price is a kings ransom.
Similar Products Used:Oakley eye jackets, - don't buy oakleys, they are crap,and the people who are the big shots of the company are laughing at you when you buy em!! Because they are crap
Bottom Line:wear whatever floats your boat, but next ones will either be spy, or black flys

Submitted by Daniel a downhiller from California
Date Reviewed: May 31, 1998
Bottom Line:

The Billets don't fit too well and the grip is weak. They may be strong, but they don't fit as well as Oakley Zeros or M Frames. I presume that Pro M's fit better but I don't know. Bottom line: these are crap and a bit more money should be invested into a pair of Oakleys.

Submitted by Chris Pate a cross-country rider from tallahassee,fl
Date Reviewed: March 5, 1998
Bottom Line:

I have used just about all the major brand of sunglasses and I must say that Gatorz Billets are the best. They are
incredibly strong and built for durability. The Billets fit like a glove and are quite comfortable. The company backs
their product with great customer service. These are not disposeable eyewear. You can send the glasses back for
new lenses at a minimal charge.
