Dang! From two feet and on thick carpet, for their lens to shatter (like glass?) is some kind of anomaly! Definitely, reach out to Oakley; they will help you. I have never seen their lens material shatter. I would have thought it impossible, so the fact that they did should be proof enough that they will replace them immediately.

The impact test is pretty accurate. I was using a weed eater and a rock the size of a quarter hit my lens on my flak 2.0 and it didn’t shatter. It simply left a small dent on my lens. Could of lost an eye or damaged it pretty bad.

13 years ago when I was in high school, I bought a pair of 1st Gen Half Jackets because I thought they looked cool. I really didn't have much knowledge on Oakley at the time. Well, some time later they actually saved my eyesight. A friend of mine accidently discharged a paintball gun he had just bought and the round went straight towards my face. The Half Jackets deflected it onto the floor and instead of a hosptial visit, I ended up with a slight headache and a cool story to tell. It since made me a very strong believer in the effectiveness of Oakley Sunglasses.

Not talking about material and quality (can't tell if they're better than Oakley or not), I'm talking about style and design. I simply didn't see myself doing outdoors with those models!! To me, they look utterly boring for that purpose. To me Oakley sounds interesting with the recent Radar capabilities added. Now, regarding the tests, I can't be sure of the equipment calibration, but both impact tests tell me a lot. Those were not regular impacts with everyday airborne particles... My eyes are precious and that's what I care about. Luckily we have a wide range of models and brands to choose from for different purposes, but If you find similar videos including tests for different brands please post the links.

While I like Oakley sunglasses (I've lost 5 pairs and just bought an M2 XL), this is just a 14 minute, 40 second commercial which Sportrx decided to participate in. It seems a little questionable to have these "tests" conducted by an Oakley marketing rep at the Oakley lab. That's not a credible test of anything, other than Oakley's ability at marketing its own products. You should take a collection of Oakleys to an independent optics lab and have them tell you what variables are really important, and then test them.

William Dukane I am a rep at Oakley and I can tell you I've had lots of customers come into my store replacing their lenses because they A) scratched B) Dog chewed on them C) fell of their head while getting into a car and they ran over their sunglasses. C is very rare but it happens. Oakley sunglasses for safety/military are Z87 rated. Meaning they are puncture and also shatter proof. All of Oakleys lenses are like that. When I got my first pair of Oakleys from where I work I brought them home and smashed the lense with a hammer to see if this is true. And for that I will always only buy Oakleys.

Hi guys slightly off topic here, but I love my Oakly Prizm trail lenses for normal trail mountain biking, but i want some goggles that have the same technology to ride downhill in the Alps. Does this exist and if not would the Prizm MX be the best alternative? Thanks

We recommend checking out the Prizm Rose snow goggle lens. Below is the link to the review we did on the Rose lens while the team was in Mammoth with Oakley. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4XRhGiDYrRgidE

Does this test apply only for this model of Oakley. Or are all Oakley's laser precise

All of Oakley's glasses are going to give your their HDO (high definition optics), so they are all laser precise!
