I take very good care of my glasses. I only use them for cycling. I actually have 3 in different colors that I rotate based on riding attire. Over many years the lenses on my first one developed little white/clear spots on the film that were actually not visible while in use. After that the coating/film on the inside started deteriorating. I am not sure how to explain but it was like a small jigsaw puzzle. Surprisingly when you wore the glasses it was not obvious, but when you took them off you could see how they would probably fail in the near term. Since I took care of my glasses the frame was in excellent shape. Once I installed the replacement lenses (easy) I ended up with what I consider a brand new Jawbreaker at half the cost.
I dropped my jawbreakers and scratched the lenses so i caught these on sale and now I have new glasses
I purchased the clear-to-black photochromic replacement lens to utilize for most of my riding time in the fall/winter/spring of southern Oregon. I love how easily lenses can be replaced in the Oakley Jawbreaker glasses and the photochromic lens covers every base of my riding....sunny, cloudy, foggy, rainy, no matter what the weather this lens provides just the vision I want. This might end up being the only lens I will use year round. While the photochromic change in the color of the lens can never be instantaneous, I never notice the change in lens color...it just happens and it always appears to be just right. I love these lenses and glasses!
What I thought I was getting. I didn�t get clear to dark transitioning but what I did get is still very good. Wasn�t completely clear to dark but more then good enough. I like them when I order more in the future I won�t hesitate to get them from you guys again. Thank You
The optics for this lens is incredible. It really filters out the glare and definition pops. The only problem that I had was that in time, the lens coating started to peel off. I take exceptional care of my lenses. The peel started around the frame and when it next rained the coating really peeled off. Beware. That said, the lens is so good I will be buying a replacement.
If a lens and it's clear not much to say
Oakley makes the best lenses, I have both Prizm Trail Torch and photo-chromatic lenses. They fit the frames perfectly. And the Trail lens are great in cloudy, shady, sunny and those shade to sunny transitions.
Bought these lenses for overcast days during CX season. Fit into frame with no issues. No fogging or other issues.
Its great for the early grey mornings or low light evening when you are getting back from long rides. But, its dark enough for a really sunny days. But, its the best switchable frame I had so far.
