Great information, thanks for taking the time to do this video. Looking to buy myself a pair of Oakleys. All I've ever used is cheapo Walmart/Target crap. My Foster Grants from Walmart snapped in half randomly while I was in Mexico and now I'm in the market for some Oakleys.
I'm currently using an asian fit true carbon radar fitted with the slate iridium path lens for cycling as well as for casual wear. Your video has really given me a good idea on how to remove the lens so I can get a spare lens of a different shade. Thanks!
Great video! Very informative! I was at the store today to try on the radars and absolutely love the fit. I need to get a pair since I'm a beach volleyball player and have some tournies coming up. Do you have any opinions on what lens's "style" are better for volleyball, assuming I'm looking upwards most of the time. There is pitch, path, and range. All slightly different I'm just not sure which one is best for my application. Thanks! :D PS you def have your own sense of style in your vids! haha
i just ordered my custom radars. i got the White chrome frame. Black earsock. Red icon. and positive red iridium lens. Im getin them for 110$ cause my mom gets some discount from her job hahaha. nice review bro.
Polarized would be awesome. My favorite overall lens for racing has been the Blue Iriduim VR50 (i think they are VR50). Night riding is Clear all they way. Go vented if you can too.
Yes. Those are NICE Glasses. Keep them and wear the heck out of them. Ear socks and lenses can be replaced if you ever wanted to sell them down the road.
So I'm definitely into mtn biking and just started up not too long ago and was wondering if there is any advantage towards having the lens contrast or neutral. I'm leaning towards the polarized radar path's with the Red Iridium lens. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hey dud, I just bought the radars with the photochromatic lenses. I love them. Thanks for showing me how to get the lense out. Get any new pairs lately?
Just got the limited edition (1500 produced worldwide) Radar Path antifreeze w/ jade iridium lenses. They are very sleek but not sure if I wanna wear them regularly or just leave them in its soft vault for a few months and see what the going rate for them on ebay is. Otherwise cool & informative vid and thanks for posting.
lens quality, design and fit is very nice! just bought mine several months ago i use it for cycling road racing, i noticed one day when im cleaning the lens there is some scratches already, is there any other way to make it a little bit more scratch resistant?
Maybe there were some rough particles on the surface of the lens before you wiped it. As far as I know, Oakley lenses do not scratch very easily if cleaned properly with the provided microfiber bag that came with the shades. Do not apply too much pressure while wiping the lenses.
I have a quick question can u still seee ur eyes through the grey lens? becasue on the oakley websites i want the polished black frame, but it comes with the grey lens, while the black iridium lens comes with the crystal black frame And i dont want to customize mine because ill go crazy cuz theres so many to choose from
Damnit Man! I was so excited about getting myself some radars with the H.I. persimmon lens because a blublocker is my favorite lens, but on your video the lens looks SO light. Bummer. I wish oakley made one. With a pair of blublockers you can look right at the sun and it doesn't hurt (not that I do that very often) but they also don't darken everything. I don't want amber or vr28 or 50. I want blublockers on a radar frame with oakley quality.
do you notice a big difference between polarized and nonpolarized? also how does the ice iridium lense compare to the black iridium as far as the quality of the tint? and as an overall lense?
Does the black iridium(livestrong) acts as a concealer, bcuz I don't want people to be staring down my eyes, or someone noticing me looking at some hot chicks ;)

The Oakley expert for sure, love your vids man! Good work.

Now that you mention that, I think I will wear the heck outta them. Once again, nice vid.
Awesome flip up of the lens weeeee!!!

I love the high school musical dvd casually placed in the back
You can customize the earsocks by buying additional colors at your local oakley store

Those pink Oakleys are FIRE
Thank you very much. Great video and good explanations. Now I know how to uninstall lenses :]
@TH3unbox3rs The Radar frame is all just the Radar frame. One frame. Three different lens shapes. Any Radar lens will fit the Radar frame.
So I'm definitely into mtn biking and just started up not too long ago and was wondering if there is any advantage towards having the lens contrast or neutral. I'm leaning towards the polarized radar path's with the Red Iridium lens.

@FemaleOkoleBangahz: That is either the Thump Pro, or a pair of Flak Jackets with the MP3 added on..
Hey great video. Make one on those glasses with the mp3 player
Great information! Thx!
High School Musical.... U gotta be Shitting Me! LOL Nice glasses though!
@strongyang I think the only really view-blocking lens color is fire iridium.
ok, when you ground order a pair of customs, do you have to be there and sign to get them or will they just leave it on your doorstep??
@whatthedillyo13 what where the sunglasses u were wearing in the very beginning of the video
what kind of lenses do you perfer??? grey or black iridium??
do you have to sign a paper if your ground order a custom pair?
LOVE THE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL MOVIE IN THE BACK GROUND
What is the difference between Iridium and normal Oakley lenses?
@strongyang all of the iridium lenses act as an concealor for your eyes
do they come with the extra lense?
here where can u get lens
why dont the pink ones have holes on the side?
i like the pink ones
what would you say the niche is for the jawbones
you sir, are a boss.
Does anyone know what model number and lensses @ 208
nice review!
what is that disco song called that you play??
Hey man. I know you're a MTB racer, just curious as to what your thoughts are on Lance's victory in Leadville. I'm a huge Lance fan.
what song is that
The blue iridium are the lenses that I want but on Oakley Custom you can't select them any more, It's pretty lame...
What kind of Oakleys are you wearing that flip up?
do all the lenses flip up like that
All of my Radar lenses are Path.
hmmm... Maybe. Don't think you can even get that pair of Thumps anymore though.
Does the black iridium(livestrong) acts as a concealer, bcuz I don't want people to be staring down my eyes, or someone noticing me looking at some hot chicks ;)

are you sure thats blue iridium and not ice iridium?
I bought a livestrong pair for $155
Got any Oakleys you want to sell?
what are you wearing?!
@whatthedillyo13 you do however seemed to have propped up high school musical in the background as if you wanted ppl to see it..........
No dis taken.
@alexattack0 it is because they're the radars for women.. the ones designed for men have the holes/different stem.. bigger nose piece aah yea
why would you pay like $200 for a pink pair of glasses if you dont ever wear them?
You'll have to squeeze and yank them hard off the arms.
@whatthedillyo13 Why you laugh at that lol
Ear Sacks! LOL
are you a bmx dude
OAKLEY THUMP
they are discontinued
it sounds like u said ear saks
hmmmm
