Product Description
Oakley pioneered single-lens sports eyewear way back when in 1983, but they haven't released a markedly new cycling-focused design since 1990. Yes, the M-Frames were futuristic back then, but the style has been kind of ho-hum for years. It's still iconic, but is now conservative, when Oakley made its name being cutting-edge. Like the M-Frame, the Radar a single-lens sunglass that is light, fits well, and has interchangeable lenses with great optics. But it does the old M's one up by employing a new hydrophobic coating on the lens. This coating makes it easier to see what's up the road when water hits the lens, as it just beads up and rolls off; the coating also makes it easier for dirt to come off, and harder for smudges to be seen because it's also oleophobic. The coating is transparent and permanent. Another improvement over the old M is the nosepiece system. It's better in two ways. In terms of fit, Radars come with two nosepieces. One will fit better than the other; the come in different widths. This means it will sit properly on the schnoz, and neither pinch it nor sit so loose as to slide down. The second, more functional, improvement is that the nosepiece attaches to the rest of the frame. Oakley found that to meet military safety standards, the venerated M needed some decidedly garage tinkering. The new nosepiece attachment improves impact protection; it meets ANSI Z87.1 standard for both high mass and high-velocity impact resistance. And then there are the surge ports. These are the holes molded into the arms. The ports direct air inside the arms so heat and sweat don't build up behind the sunglasses and arms. And unlike certain models of the M-Frame, the arms of the Radar fold. The lens is large in a modern, high-fashion way without being too big. We prefer the Path lens because we believe it is large enough to protect the eyes while being small enough so it doesn't overheat the head and seal the eyes off from the world.

BUYERS BEWARE. I bought 2 identical pairs of glasses ( Oakley Radar 09-748 ) from Amazon, not a 3rd party seller but Amazon LLC. I was very very disappointed to receive 2 clearly and obviously different pairs of glasses. Now when you order 2 of the same type of BRAND NEW item from Amazon you would expect to receive 2 products that are, well the same. However the lenses were clearly different, the boxes were different, the packaging inside the boxes were different, the only thing that was the same was the frames. Not sure how this can be if i ordered 2 brand new identical products.First off there was a " P " sticker on the fake lenses. Now some lenses from oakley have the p sticker to indicate polarized, however i did not order polarized and the lenses were not labeled polarized on the bottom right corner of the lenses that everyone knows oakley has, so why was there a " P " sticker on my non polarized lenses?Secondly the Oakley labels in the middle of the lenses were clearly different. The lettering was different and on 1 pair there was a trademark r after oakley, and another there was not, just the regular oakley label. Again not sure how this can be if I order 2 identical pairs of Brand New glasses.Third the lenses were very loose on the fake oakley's, you could squeeze the bottom of the lens and the top of the frame and there was tons of movement with the fake oakley's. The real oakley's lens did not move at all.Fourth the boxes and paperwork inside the boxes were different. 1 was wrapped in plastic and 1 was not. Amazon LLC really let me down on this order.

I have been using these Oakley sunglasses in Afghanistan for a year now. They are durable and the clarity is great. They are also comfortable to wear for extended periods.

I went to a brick and mortar and looked at the glasses. I had a pair that were very similar that I have worn for the past twenty years. When I found them online at Amazon at twenty dollars less than they were in the store I was ready to purchase and then opened an Amazon credit account and got forty dollars off my Oakley purchase. I received the glasses and they are everything I thought them to be. Getting what I wanted, received it in less than a week and sixty dollars off retail was great.
