- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've used these sunglasses for paragliding and mountain biking so far. They're a great fit and surprisingly haven't fogged up on me. While paragliding in the winter it's really cold and I was worried about these glasses fogging up, but the design that Oakley has created is perfect for cold and windy conditions. I also really enjoy the interchangeable lens perk.

Yeah... I spent $200+ on sunglasses. No, they don't really make me faster. Yes, they make me look like RoboCop to drivers and hikers I pass.
I really don't care. These are fantastic. Punch the names Sagan, Cav, Schurter, Froome, Grotts, Kulhavy, or Fluckiger into Google Images and you'll see that from about 2014 onward, they don Jawbreakers almost exclusively. Simply put, the optics and coverage are stellar, and the aesthetics are even better. Pull the trigger, you'll look great. Or at least better.
Keith A.Wow!!! Nice Sunglasses!!!

I was a little hesitant to throw down $200+ for a pair of sunglasses that I was only going to use for cycling (you will only use these for cycling, running, skiing etc.). I am glad I did! I have a great pair of "dark" polarized prescription Maui Jims that already work great for cycling. With my contact lenses in, the Prizm Road sunglasses are amazing. The Prizm Roads let enough light in, but at the same time, they filter enough light out. I can definitely tell a difference when going from sun to shade with the Oakley sunglasses.
I have only used these sunglasses a few times. I did have one ride where one of my contact lenses did get dry and I had to take it out. I am sure if I had "eye drops" that would have helped the situation. The other 3-4 times of use, I had no issue. I am a new contact lens user while cycling. If I have issues with the contact lenses, I will have my prescription placed in the glasses. That is how impressed I am with these sunglasses!

Of all the glasses I have used for biking these top them all. Prizm technology is great in a wide range of light conditions, which is huge when riding in the evening or in an out of forested trails. The large profile of these glasses keeps dirt out and integrated vents keep them from fogging. Awesome option for skiing and running as well. If you have further questions feel free to give me a ring at the number above!

As a huge fan of Oakley I knew I was in for "good things ahead" when I ordered these. As a girl they can feel very... overwhelming? on your face. For the purpose of these sunglasses though they were bought for biking. They look unbelievably professional on with a helmet to match so be prepared for stares of the good kind. The prizm road lense gives optimal contrast and the wrap around style of these means contrast for every eye movement. Overall just a super solid purchase!

Great glasses, good coverage, but not the best ventilation. Still love em.

Eduardo ArciaEmployeeLooking pretty
- Fit: True to size
I'll come back with a proper review. I just bought them and I'm yet to ride with them. I got the Cavendish Polish Black. This is a picture of how cool I look and what comes in the box.
Edit: I have something to say about them: They look really nice. I like the wide frame because it improves your field of vision horizontally and vertically.
The gaps around the lenses avoid fogging indeed this is a plus to me.
Despite its size (they look quite big) they are very lightweight. The Swithlock system is pretty easy to use.
I used them at noon under the bright Costa Rican sun and I didn't feel any discomfort whatsoever.
Do not think it twice and get one of these.

Love the prizm trail
While the lens is slighly light for use in full sun conditions, its a great protective lens that works on the tones found on the trail. It definitely makes the trail more defined and definitely protects. You also get to look like an 80's hair band wannabe...
Matthew KielExcellent Coverage/Fit, Prizm is Amazing
- Fit: True to size
I have a pretty small head so finding something that is narrow enough but still offers good coverage is tough. The adjustable stems help dial in the fit but the real champion here are the Prizm Road lenses. The tint is the great in both high and low light conditions.

The new prizm lens offered by Oakley is absolutely awesome! Prizm enhances contrast and visibility over a wide spectrum of light conditions. The offer a variety of lens options for specific environments. The Jawbreaker frame makes it easy to swap lens by simply lifting the nose piece. You also have the option to customize the frame to your liking.

Turn any 5 into a 10 with these eye windows on your face. I have always been a fan of Oakely eyewear and for good reason. The clarity in the lens has always been top notch. When the Jawbreakers first came out I was pretty hyped on the design even though it did take some time to get used to. I have a pretty large face and these fit they better than most other brands out there.
As far the Prizim lens goes... it is a game changer. With the trail version I was a little skeptical at first as they are not a very heavyly tinted lens. I would personally like a little more protection from the sun when riding in open area trails but where these lenses do shine is when you are riding a trail where you enter in and out of the shadows a lot. What they do is bring more contrast between the brown of the trail and the green of the foliage to help you see more details of the trail ahead. They work exceptionally when when you go from sun to shade, this is where a dark tinted lens can't hold a candle to these. I would say they are a better all around tint for whatever terrain you may encounter.

Simply the Best

I have two pairs of Jawbreakers with the Prizm road lens and they always perform. The vents on the lens mitigate any fogging issues that other Oakley glasses may have. The Prizm road lens is extremely sharp and is perfect most most riding conditions. I've put thousands of miles on both pairs and the coating shows no wear, although I do take pretty good post-ride care of my glasses. The glasses fit extremely well and are adjustable. I've worn the glasses for 8 hour rides with no pain above the ears. I've never had an issue. Not a bad word to say about them.
David I.Great for mtn and road.

I bought these for more coverage in the woods and better vision from the drops on the road. I have two pair, they fit well, never slip, and don't fog (I was surprised by that!) The adjustable temple length and thin end allow them to fit well with a helmet.
The Prizm trail lens is great for the woods. It's not too dark in most cases and really brings out the contrast.
For the road I like the Black Iridium for sunny days and the Photochromic lens for everything else.
The look is bigggg, but not too bad with a helmet on.
The design works and that is what is important.
Austin DeSilviaGearheadAwesome glasses
I got these specifically for mountain biking and they have worked out great for me, this is exactly what I wanted. I wanted some glasses where bright light could not sneak in from the peripheral vision. They are snug to my head and do not move around when I land or anything like that. The Lenses are clear and I definitely would recommend these to anyone who was interested. And these make you go really really fast!!!!!
Austin DeSilviaGearheadGreat glasses
I got these just so I can wear them when I am mountain biking. They fit really well around my head and are very snug so they do not move around when I land or anything. The lenses are very clear and always seem to adjust to the lighting depending on the time of day. These are my favorite glasses that I have ridden in to this day. Definitely would recommend these to anyone who's interested.

The prism lens so exceeds the quality of vision clarity it should sell these by itself. Detail is excellent and doesnt act by just darkening the sunlight. Actually focuses the sunlight. These are perfect for those of use who wear contact lenses. The protection is fantastic. No dust in the eyes with these.
Whoever thinks these are goofy looking needs a lesson in practical old school.
Best Oakleys yet !!!

Best I've used
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are fantastic glasses. The prizm road lens is the best. Yes, these are large and look goofy if not paired with with helmet and kit while on a bike. But on the bike, they look totally pro. Great looks yes. Awesome function, even better!
