10 Out Of 10 Sunglasses
Posted by Cataracts - 24/08/10 at 10:08 pmIt’s never easy sitting down to review a pair of sunglasses, especially when what counts as a good pair can mean so many different things to different people, but we’ve made it a bit easier. Rather than review a paire of sunglasses and compare directly against a competitors pair, which lets face it, could be radically different, we’ve cheated by comparing the same sunglasses against each, all be it in different flavours.
The subject for this review are the Oakley Scalpel range, one of the most popular sets of glass out there and coming in no less than nine different varieties. Oakley sunglasses are renowned the world over for producing high quality, performance glass wear and the scalpel is no exception.
Across the range, you get a choice of black, white (2 variations), brown (2 variations) and our personal favourite Dark grey. White chrome are undoubtedly the most striking, but for sheer style and quality, the new range of Ducati signature glasses take first place.
Lenses vary across the range too, from a bright red (found on the Dark Grey set) to a bluey purple on the White chromes and the more ordinary dark and tinted, so you should have no problem choosing your ideal sunglasses.
Frames are lightweight but strong and surprisingly comfortable for a big set of glasses. Sports activities may challenge you, but they won’t removing your glasses from you thanks to the sticky stuff on the end of the frames.
As you would expect for designer glasses of this quality, the lenses are of the highest quality and shut out all the suns harmful UV rays whilst also protecting against the lesser known (but just as damaging) blue light. Oakley also ensures they comply fully with all current ANSI standards.
You may not have heard of HDO or High Definition Optics, but ignoring the marketing blurb for a moment, it simply means you are getting some of the finest glasses on the market and yet still shouldn’t be paying more than £100.
