Oakley

The lenses on 1 of my 3 Jawbreakers started degrading. At first I noticed little white spots in the Prizm film and then a section looked like a jigsaw puzzle. Surprisingly for the most part they were still functional. It seemed mostly cosmetic, but it did make them look OLD and I wondered how long before it would impact the vision and/or be extremely annoying. I decided to get the replacement lenses to refresh the look since my frames looked new. I take very good care of my eyewear and only use my Jawbreakers for cycling. They are immediately stored in their case after every ride. I am careful to only use the included cleaning cover to ensure they don't get scratched.

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.

Got the pink (low light) lens for winter riding, and it's superb as expected. I will plan to leave it in pretty much all winter long (as switching between lenses isn't difficult but always seems to come right before a ride, and I'd prefer to be out pedaling). It's *nearly* a clear lens, with some helpful contrast coming from the pink. I've ridden it on gravel into the nighttime, and it was fine, i.e. it doesn't block out so much light that you need to remove them for nighttime riding. I suppose if you were doing only nighttime rides, you'd probably opt for a clear lens, but if it's going to be some daylight and some nighttime, these will do the trick.

Living in Simi Valley CA (Rocky Peak Trails) it�s a clear choice for me that Trail Torch is the right lens even in full sun. Details: after researching online I determined that either the road lens or the trail torch lens would be the ones I want to look into. Immediately the torch lenses really show contrast and all the subtleties of not only the trails but off to the side in the shadows of the bushes chaparral etc. all at one time. I thought the trail torch would be too bright in full sun so I had thought about having both Road and trail torch. Yesterday I finally got to ride I went out at noon in Southern California with no shade at about 90�. I found out that the trail torch allow me to descend Way faster and way safer. I�m super super sensitive to light and kind of everything for that matter. The difference was remarkable between my naked eye the trail torch and the road. A trail torch allows me to do way more safer this difference was actually kind of huge. If you�re tempted to go Road for mountain biking they will be more like being more in the shade but they just clearly will not allow you to see the subtleties the same And after all were mountain biking not sitting in lawn chair. The trail torches are great technology and with the concern of rattlesnakes off to the side of trails right now not only do these lenses let you see the trail but they let you see into the shadows much more simply. That was kind of a ramble but whatever lol Take the review for what it�s worth. Get the trail torch for safety and Confidence. Final thing to mention I took the trail torch glasses off and was looking at the side of the sandstone cliff that was glaring at me. the trail torches when put back on absolutely do reduce glare so they are functioning as sunglasses still. I found I didn�t really have to squint at all whereas without I definitely did.
