[@austindanielek4437]

This is your best video imo. The intro is lit.

[@cyclistpete]

haha yeaahhh glad you liked it my man! I was trying to make it hype

[@yianrid]

Very nice editing!

[@cyclistpete]

thanks Cyrus!

[@cballasiotes]

Sick video Cyclist Pete! Nice edit! Like the review!

[@cyclistpete]

thanks! glad you liked it!

I wish the arms had more grip or were longer. They just don't stay in place to where I can forget about them.

[@cyclistpete]

The arms are short, but seemed pretty decent to me. However I did have to adjust them a few times, more then my other glasses.

[@davidbutler1857]

@@cyclistpete I ended up sticking with the Radars... no other Oakley models are very good for cycling. They need to go back to formula on the arms they have for each model. They're too thin and just don't stay.

[@photobouph]

This ride looked like a blast!

[@cyclistpete]

haha it was pretty fun! its hard to beat sunny days riding on the waterfront!

[@photobouph]

Hope to catch you around the city sometime it’s how I found your page looking for areas to cycle

[@cyclistpete]

ah thats awesome. i put together a facebook group for setting up some cool local group rides, if your interested in joining a ride this summer. it would be fun to ride sometime 🤙 facebook.com/groups/cyclistpeterides

[@patricksome7142]

Looks like you ride around Tacoma near the port. Very cool.

[@cyclistpete]

I do ride around that area sometimes! But this video was around the Seattle port, West Seattle, and the Seattle Waterfront Park

[@skyrace730]

It's a pity that I couldn't find the right size for my face! Oakley has only one version of glasses for narrow faces, flack 2.0 xl. the rest are all huge

[@cyclistpete]

dang, that is a bummer. hope you can find some good alternatives!

[@DougieSSyd]

Cool review!…. and the music is AWESOME !

[@cyclistpete]

Thanks man! Glad you liked it! ⚡️😎🤙🏼

[@raycoxphoto]

Sick Review dude! Just got myself some.

[@cyclistpete]

Nice nice! They are definitely rad!

[@Pieced-by-Alan]

How do i take off the temples

[@cyclistpete]

I don't think you can. I think the only removable piece is the nosepiece rubber.

[@DannyDL1ght]

I have the radar ev path trail torch and i noticed that my nose is sweating most of the time, it’s the same with encoder?😱

[@cyclistpete]

Hmm I’m not sure. My nose sweat with these seems on par with other sunglasses. So are they slipping off your nose?

[@DannyDL1ght]

@@cyclistpete they are not slipping, the nose pads are actually soft , maybe it’s because of the humidity or the lenses light transmission which is higher than usual 35%

[@derzkoeradio]

Hi! Nice glasses))) Do you have optical erosions near nose too?! Great distortion in nose triangle? But when looking straight forward it's okey... I've got 24k lenses. Awesome hi-quality shades

[@cyclistpete]

Thanks! They are pretty rad. I really like those 24k ones. But I hadn’t noticed anything earlier. I just tested them now and I can see a little haziness/distortion around the nose area. But it’s only at extreme angles, or if I’m cross eyed haha nothing I would notice using them normally

[@derzkoeradio]

Yes. It's ok when use them normally. But it should be when lense has shape like this. This is natural optical refraction. But sometimes when look down this refraction comes into view. Thank you. Have a nice day!

[@cinnabonthepug]

Seattle?

[@cyclistpete]

Yep yep!

[@vinodpadwal4567]

Which is best for marathon running.. Can we use this while running??

[@cyclistpete]

Yeah, these could be used for marathon running. However, I'm not sure which lenses and frames would be the absolute best. It would likely be personal preference. The Oakley Radar Advancers are another great option, those have interchangeable lenses. The Prism Road would be a great all round lens for running in medium to bright conditions.

[@MER1CA_1st]

Encoder or sutro?🤔

[@cyclistpete]

Encoder. 🤘🏼😎

[@carlosalbertoalvarado6247]

Sutro

[@db3229]

Sutro S

[@dubai86]

How is the fogging / ventilation performance as compared to radar advancer sir?

[@cyclistpete]

Yo. Not as good as the advancers when the nosepiece is pushed out. But they seem like they are pretty close

[@dubai86]

@@cyclistpete thanks for the swift reply sir. because I'm thinking either to get a Kato or an Encoder. Mainly for running. And we live in hot country. Not sure kato/encoder will fog due to poor ventilation.

[@haroldmclean3755]

Hey there , Do they pinch the sides of your head giving you a Headache after a few hours of wearing ?

[@cyclistpete]

I haven’t felt any discomfort from wearing them. I’ve only worn them for 2 hours at the most since I’ve had them. The side pressure seems about the same as my radars.

[@haroldmclean3755]

@@cyclistpete Hey Thanks for the Heads up on this product , as My well liked Sutro's are getting a little tired , I'm going for Gold again lol👍😀👍 E N C O D E R ! lol 😀👍 Have a Cracking Good Weekend

[@cyclistpete]

@@haroldmclean3755 no prob! And excellent choice!

[@carlosalbertoalvarado6247]

I really dislike the nose piece on them it’s really big and notable when riding

[@ajayjaidka]

Even I agree and noticed same the nose pad comes in the vision

[@61tree_Studio]

Nice review. I'd recommend dropping the background music though, it's distracting and nerve racking.

[@cyclistpete]

Glad you liked it. And thanks for suggestion. I’ll turn it down a bit or ditch it on future vids 🤙🏼
