'NOT CHEAP, BUT THAT DISTORTION IS NO MORE'
Strengths:
light !
No distortion ! (Thanks to XYZ Optics®)
fit well on head, And stay put even with severe jolting !
Cover a good plane of view (Wrap around eyes)
And lastly, They look well cool !!!
Weaknesses:
Price !
Could do with a rubber nose piece (Or "Unobtainium® nosebombs" as OAKLEY call them)
Overall:
Great pair of light weight cool looking sunglasses that don't distort the hell out of what your trying to look at !
Sure, There not cheap, But like the old saying goes (You get's what's you's pay's for's !)
I also have a pair of the knew SWITCH Magnesium framed oakleys and these too are great (But i think the switch pair just pip the Straight Jackets to the post when it cames to looking cool but classy !)

'DECENT EYE PROTECTION'
Strengths:
light
strong
you can wear them when its not sunny and they're not too dark (for eye protection on the bike ... not for image ... honest)
keep the sun out of my eyes and that undescribable stuff that flies off the front tyre of my bike at high speed.
Weaknesses:
steam up too quick ... poorly ventilated
Overall:
I got through a lot of pairs of cheap sunglasses in one year which broke real easy, so they are a worthwhile investment.
I bought these primarily for on the bike but use them for everything.
