Description:Explosive compounds are vaporized at 3600°F to produce the latest addition to the ranks of X Metal®. We matched the hammer earstems of Romeo® with the contours of Juliet™ and amplified the orbitals, enhancing coverage for larger facial sizes. Adaptable architecture and XYZ Optics® are defining features for the only 3-D sculptured, hypoallergenic, all-metal frames on earth. New options include Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) plating and a true 24-karat gold finish.

    Favoriate Trail:Northstar at Tahoe
    Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
    Purchased At:my LBS
    Strengths:+ Great design
    + functional
    + excellent fit
    + quality of workmanship and materials used
    Weaknesses:- Metal arms can be painful for some people
    - Somewhat heavy
    Similar Products Used:Nike, Briko, Spy, Arnette
    Bike Setup:04' Turner DHR
    Bottom 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.

    Favoriate Trail:Chubb - St.Louis, MO
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $309.00
    Purchased At:NEX in Pearl Harbor, HI
    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.
    Similar Products Used:Smith Toaster - w/ interchangeable lenses
    Bike Setup:Fuel - 80
    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.
