"The best lenses in the world, our favourite in looks, but all for a price"

By Ian Collins, MBUK

The first and foremost feature of these, and any other Oakley glasses, has to be the lens quality. Their ‘High Definition Optics’ moniker sounds like marketing hot air, but there’s absolutely no distortion with these lenses, making them the best trail glasses available.

The Radar has a firm but comfortable fit, your range of vision is unrestricted and they look the nuts. The hydrophobic lenses repel water, dirt, dust and oil, and there are three shapes available to fit different faces, as well as a big choice of frame colour options and lens tints.

The downsides? The long arms interfere with some helmet retention systems, and they cost a fair old packet too.

Manufacturers description

The most demanding sport professionals in the world have fueled 30 years of Oakley innovation. Athletes have won more championships and medals with our eyewear than with any other single sport product on earth. The heritage continues with Oakley RADAR™, a milestone in performance technology.

    I'm absolutely loving mine. Excellent fit and coverage. They also look a bit smarter than the M-frames. Good choice of lenses and the water repellent coating really does work.

    Bit pricey but I picked mine up for under £100.

    I haven't owned a pair of the magic 'O's since the late 90's when I had to sell my m frames to buy furniture for mu house.

    I am a little bit less skinto now so I took the plunge and invested.

    Performance wise these glasses have no equal and are so superior to my trusty old Tifosi Q3's it isnt true.

    But then at nearly 4 times their cost I suppose they should be!!

    The only problem being it hasn't stopped raining since I got them so I am keen for replacement lenses (i.e. clear/yellow) to become more freely available so I can wear them a bit more.

    Overall, well worth the investment.

    After many years of using various makes of sunglasses i tried a pair of Oakley Radars for the first time early this year.

    I now own two pairs of Radars and for me they are the best in the world. You actually forget you are wearing them,they are that comfortable,and as for the clarity of vision.......nothing compares.......water,sweat runs of them.....i could go on!

    Put them on your christmas list,birthday list or whatever!

    Theres a reason so many pros wear them (ok they dont have to buy them) they are just that good.
