Review on Oakley OO9401 Flight Sunglasses: Sleek and Polished Eyewear by Brad Schaefer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lenses are too tall to wear a bike helmet

Quality eyewear, no question. Dated "Blades" design from the 90's but functional as I understand it. I liked the idea of padding that pops the lens out farther for better ventilation and to avoid sweating, but this tall lens cuts right into my mountain bike helmet. This makes them unsuitable for mountain bikes. I have a huge head. I wear a big helmet. And they still collide. I would have thought that a normal sized head and helmet would have an even worse spacing. Damn.

Pros
  • Patented High Definition Optics (HDO): Oakley High Definition Optics offers superior optical clarity and clear vision from any angle
Cons
  • Negative Impression
