PROTIP: When considering these, research Revo Titanium first.First, let me just state that I've own a number of high end sunglasses over the past decade, e.g, Revo, Gargoyles, Spy, Prada, Costa Del Mar, Vaurnet, Black Fly, Suncloud, Maui Jim, etc... I'm fairly certain I know what I should expect from an expensive pair of sunglasses.I just received my Oakley C Wire sunglasses and quite frankly I'm a little disappointed. The one thing I was sure that I would be happy with, the overall fit, were good. The arms rested a little more tightly above the ear than was comfortable. This is due to the fact that the arms are static. In fact, the arms/spring/hinge has a stiff feel with very little give. There is no "spring" in the "spring-hinge" mechanism. Which is my first real complaint. You will need to bend these to fit them.My other real complaint? For $220 there isn't even a hard case included. Other sunglasses in the same price range that I own, Revo, Prada, Kaenon, Costa Del Mar and Maui Jim all come with their own hard cases that are excellent for storage. All that is provided is a micro fiber pouch.The real disappointment stems from the fact that for the same price you can get a really nice pair of Revo's that are mechanically and technically superior. No, I'm not talking about both company's use of polycarbonate lenses with techno-geek words... We all know that modern plastic lenses do the job pretty well. Not as efficient or optically consistent as glass, but lighter, cheaper and more durable. I'm talking about overall design, craftsmanship and materials used in making the frames. Compared to my Revo Efflux Titanium sunglasses, the Oakley's are clearly a step down.For around the same price you can get one of the various Revo Titanium sunglasses. They have true spring hinges that put less pressure on your head and has a more immediately comfortable fit. The arms on the Revos open and close with presence. The Oakleys open and close with a light but consistent pressure which doesn't feel too cheap, but it doesn't come close to Revo. The Revo frames are much more stiff than Oakley but end up being much more comfortable, and this is immediately noticeable as well.These aren't horrible but if you're in the market for these sunglasses, definitely search "Revo Titanium" and try a pair of those first. You won't regret it. They are in every respect that matters, far better than the Oakleys.Edit: After a few days of wearing them, I think I'll keep them. They are nice. I had these rated at 3* earlier because they didn't come with the hard case. The sunglasses are starting to grow on me a little, so the deduction is for the lack of a hard case. That's clearly unacceptable for a >$200 pair of sunglasses.

Great look and feel. Superior lens and sun filtration. Modern look with a hint of retro. Not too small or overly obtrusive on face.
