Hi mate I have oakley Radars which are exactly the same as these with a different logo.
Very good sunglasses, highly recommend what you are going to buy.

These are "rip off oakleys". They look like oakleys but the quality will be a lot worse and the optics of the lenses will be awful in comparison to oakleys.

No doubt true, but my cheap sunwise glasses are much much better than my expensive okalyes, so its not a given that okalyes will always be ”best"

Interesting you say that. I went back to oakleys after using sunwise for a bit as I found that optically they were better.

We'll have to agree to disagree here I think, to me Oakleys are streets ahead.

As for value for money I've had my radars coming up 5 years and they're still like new, chances are cheaper alternatives would almost certainly need replacing in this time.

Are you sure your Oakleys aren't expensive fakes Ross?

Fairly sure, it might just be me, don't get me wrong the Oakley's are OK, just prefer the sunwise.

Well as if tempting fait, my sunwise broke at the week end, they were in my traning top pocket and I think some one must have leaned on them or something, snapped the frame.
Had them about 4 years though

Oakleys are extremely good, but the massive choice of lenses is a killer. It's very difficult to find the right colour/darkness without trying them all on and testing them.

I used a pair of Woodworm ones which did a job but weren't great.

VR28 OR G20 for Cricket as these highlight red against greens.

Harder to get hold of G20 these days so I'd recommend the VR28 polarised.

Polarised VR28 are the dogs dangleies!
My only regret is I left it too long before replacing the standard grey ones with them!
