Oakley Men's Nanowire 4.0 Iridium Polarized Sunglasses Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This review is for black frame/black iridium lenses

These are hands-down the best sunglasses I've ever worn. If you tend to wear sunglasses for extended periods, especially in harsh conditions, there's a good chance you understand the benefits of splurging on good eyewear. For me, function is more important than form though these glasses bring both together in a fantastic package. They are a certainly a little pricey but to me they are worth it.

The Pros:
1. The optical clarity is flawless through entire field of vision.
2. The polarization cuts out almost all glare. I generally wear only polarized sunglasses but the technology used here is noticeably better than anything I've used previously.
3. Incredibly light weight and comfortable. It's very easy to forget you have them on.
4. Excellent coverage.
5. Look great.

The Cons:
1. Lower price would be great but they are worth the premium price tag.

I can't really rate durability yet but with the flexible titanium frame and lenses that meet ANSI standards, I'm hoping they last a very long time. Time will tell.

The bottom line: I'm very satisfied with my purchase and believe they are worth every penny I paid as long as they hold up the way Oakleys generally do.

Product Description:
You won't find satellites or lunar rovers on Oakley's product list but when they engineer a frame for unparalleled durability and minimized weight, they earn their place in the space race. That's because they start with the same metal used in orbital vehicles, titanium, and they craft it into alloys like this memory metal. It offers a flexible, adaptable fit while achieving a weight that seems to forget about that whole gravity thing. Matched with supple Unobtainium components that increase grip with sweat, it's the secret behind the all-day comfort of the Nanowire 4.0. Oakley took the unbeatable clarity and precision of High Definition Optics (HDO®) and matched them with a permanent Hydrophobic coating that gives water sheens the slip, repels dirt and dust, and even maintains a smudge-resistant barrier against skin oils and lotions. The back of each lens has anti-reflective coating, and the lens curvature maximizes peripheral vision with XYZ Optics. Iridium lens coating balances light transmission so the rays you need are boosted while the ones you don't are reduced. Optical performance and impact resistance meet ANSI Industrial Standards, and the Plutonite lenses filter out 100% of all UV.
