They are virtually impossible to snap. When I moved to a new set because the old ones were all beaten up i tried to bend them a snap them at the nose and then bent the whole way. Extremely flexible.The might be Fauoakleys for that much. Not a bad thing and I grabbed a few in the KL markets where there are plenty.
Just worry how bad they snap if you face surf. I've had snapped glasses dig into myself once with cheap glasses but nfi if brand name expensive would make that much difference.
I prefer framed glasses from that and no bladey open edges.

You were luckier than me. I had a pair bust at the hinge before I made it home, oh wellThey are virtually impossible to snap. When I moved to a new set because the old ones were all beaten up i tried to bend them a snap them at the nose and then bent the whole way. Extremely flexible.
Are the evil eyes replaceable lens glasses ?My evil Eyes are looking a little worse for wear .

The photochromatic lens imo isnt dark enough when in the sun, and at night it isnt as 'clear' as a clear lens. I dont think id by photocbromatic again, as i mentioned about the Prizm lenses are amazing. Prizm to suit the activity for the day (mtb = prizm trail) and a plain clear lens for night riding.Hey Tek how do you find the Jawbreakers?
My evil Eyes are looking a little worse for wear and I am looking at getting those.
very happy with the amount of cover they give; helps a lot when going at really high speeds such as on the road. the photochromic goes from about 30% to 80% light transmission which covers 95% of the conditions I ride in.Hey Tek how do you find the Jawbreakers?

I was going to look into prescription Oakleys, but just bought the std lenses this time around. I really should have prescription lenses, i have regular glasses and prescription sunglasses for day to day use (not on the mtb).Curious if anyone in this thread uses prescription sunnies? I'm quite happy with my Rudy Project Rydon but the prescription lenses were stupidly expensive. Also if anyone's wondering, don't bother with prescription inserts - they're cheap but they just trap sweat.
Do you mean the clip-in lenses that fit behind the regular lense? I've been wearing Rudy Projects (Ekynox SX and Noyz) with these for around 10 years now without any issues.Curious if anyone in this thread uses prescription sunnies?

My mates got a identical pair of Evil Eyes to me and his have a insert for a perscription - its seperate from the lens itself so u can still readily change lenses i thinkCurious if anyone in this thread uses prescription sunnies?

Yep they're the ones. Maybe I'm particularly sweaty? But the clip-in lenses touched the main lenses at the bottom a bit, and the sweat build-up between made them almost unusable. It was marginally better using some Muc-off hydrophobic spray. There were also a few weird reflections. I ended up paying for the inbuilt prescription lenses and am very happy now, except for the $730 cost for the lenses.Do you mean the clip-in lenses that fit behind the regular lense?

What shop's that?A couple of years on, I'm still digging these uvex jobbies,
I actually wore them in the shower Saturday morning after my ride because I forgot I was wearing them.
The company's core business is safety glasses, and it shows, the lenses are still crystal clear after multiple trips into the scruband short flights over the bars. The photochromatic is awesome, goes from completely clear to tinted and back really quickly, shed dirt and moisture easily, don't fog, awesome field of vision and stupid light at 22.29 grams.
Best of all, as good as, if not better performance as the wank brands but cheaper than a gobbie from a 60 year old, diseased hooker.
