They're nothing special. The seals in no way for me or my fathers face, therefore causing tons of wind to come in under them thereby bothering my eyes. I've got terrible dry/irritable eyes and was hoping these would do the trick- they don't. Spend your $$ elsewhere. Although its pretty cool how they give you clear and tinted lenses and they interchange by the frame coming apart at the nose piece on a pivot.

For that amount, they're not even polarized :/.
I wear Oakley M-Frame with iridium lenses under my helmet. They're perfect because they have no lower frame, so you have 100% unobstructed peripheral vision. Gotta have 'em in the bright Texas sun! There are several M-Frame models; I prefer the larger ones. I just press them in under my head sock.
The lenses are large so they have great coverage against wind (if i crack the visor) and sun.

The latest is the M3 frame, and they aren't that bad. If you're military they're even cheaper

As a cyclist who wears contact lenses, I'm accustomed to always wearing something over my eyes when I'm out riding, and do so on the moto as well. Tifosi Podium's with light-night fototec lenses at the moment; they go from nearly clear to pretty dark, and if I want to open the visor when it gets baking hot, I can still keep crud out of my finicky, technology-assisted eyes.

Don't ride with polarised lens, they can distort the image...which at 200+kmh can be a big issue

I bought these
OAKLEY DUCATI X SQUARED CARBON BLACK IRIDIUM
and then paid more money to get the polarised lens to fit this model. All on Eprey. I found under my tinted visor I got some reflection which is a product of the polarised lens. I stop noticing it after 5 mins riding.
I find them a bit hard under the helmet as they have metal frame which is pretty hard.

Where did you get that info? I'd stop buying these immediately if it turns out to be true.
My buddy is the store manager at a store here in Las Vegas, and said he has had enough of Oakley's BS and is moving on after 7 years with the company. It is very sad. I bought my girl a pair of Ducati garage rocks, the 1st pair he pulled out of the case did not say "Made in the USA". She asked him for a pair that did. He found what I think was his last set that said it and traded them out. Also the micro fiber bag for the glasses in the Chinese pair did not have the Ducati Corsa logo on it. The USA glasses bag did. He traded that out to. Its sad to see and hear. No more 25% off and no more Oakley's.
All the wire frame glasses are made in china and have been for a year or so. The plastic "o-matter" frames are all changing over now. The company that owns sunglass hut, bought out Oakley.
