I just got done reading the Oakley review on Tom Demerley's sight
I agree that Oakley is a great product and way ahead of others in tech and design. However the one place where they fall flat on their faces is with prescription lenses.
Within the last couple of year I have had to wear glasses for everything. Tried contacts for a while but finally decided to switch over to full time prescription lenses/sunglasses. Well I loved oakleys for yeas but Oakley had not (affordable) options for prescription lenses (I think it was 180 dollars for each lens / prescription combo making multiple lenses a luxury) and when it was available it was only available in some styles. Plus the prescriptions were non adjustable (once you got a lens and your prescription changed, you had to get a new lens/prescription altogether)
I ended up with a pair of Rudys with a prescription insert which I am very very happy with.
... I guess this post wasn't a question but more of a rant. Would love to hear opinions though
