Oakley Men's Tightrope Polarized Sunglasses Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought a pair of polarized Tightropes (black frame, blue lenses (they seem to be listed as "grey" lenses here on Amazon) to replace an aging pair of C-Wires.The glasses themselves get a 5 of 5.They are well built, the optics are great, they fit terrific and they look exceptional - everything you'd expect from Oakley.

My one complaint - while the C-Wires easily fit into Oakley's smaller cases (Small Soft Case, Soft Metal Vault, etc.), the Tightropes do not.They don't really seem any larger, but they are more curved and the hinges where the stems attach to the main part of the frame bulge outward a little more.The result is that the glasses are much larger when folded than other Oakley's I've had in the past, and they require Oakley's larger cases (Large Soft Vault, Large Metal Vault, Large Carbon Vault, etc.).These cases are all huge and for me at least, don't fit anywhere in my car - center console, glove compartment, etc., they're all too big.So wearing the glasses is great, but storing them is a pain.
