Love these glasses. Light weight; could wear for hours, in or out doors. Had ordered 55mm but a little bit too small for my face which is a little smaller than average. Perfect size 58mm. Best part, got it Super fast; ordered today, shipped within 2 hours, got it in a day. Will order from them again! Totally recommend it

Amazon.com Product Description
The latest edition of the Oil Rig comes with redesigned stem architecture that puts the icon of innovation in the crosshairs of dimensional grooves. Art meets attitude in a style that carries a single continuous lens across contours of lightweight O Matter frame material. Oakley uniquely curves the frame so even medium-size faces get a precise fit that doesn’t stick out at the sides. The sculpturally integrated hinges are engineered with dual cam action, and the linear ear stems provide a comfortably secure grip. High Definition Optics (HDO®) takes advantage of Polaric Ellipsoid lens geometry to maintain clarity while curving the lenses for optimal side protection and extended peripheral view. The Plutonite lens material filters out every ray of UV, and both impact protection and optical precision meet ANSI Z87.1 standards.

Lost My Oil Rig, Buying another5
I just lost my favorite pair of sunglasses. The Oakley Oil Rig! I wear them every day and can't live without them so here I am at 2am on a Friday night ordering another pair. They're that good. Comfort level is very high and the field of view is amazing. You don't see the frame at all when looking through them. They look bold and bad ass and are worth every penny. I only wish they came with a cable that would permanently attach them to my face.

Great Glasses5
I bought a pair of these about a year ago and sadly...I left them on the airplane a few days ago. I am ordering another pair for a multitude of reasons. 1. The clarity through them is great. 2. I have a big head....lets be honest, its hard to find glasses for a big head and these fit great. Cant wait for the new pair to get here!

Exceptional product5
I have owned these for a couple years now and I am still very happy with them. I have dropped them tons of times...no dents, dings or scratches. One time I slammed my head into a door frame with my Oil Rig's being the only buffer to my skull. My eyes were watering from the pain but my Oakley's...perfectly fine.

I have a medium-wide face and they fit perfectly. On a boat or in a convertible the wind never once bothers my eyes. The only thing is I wish I had coughed up the extra $70 for the polarized. I live in Florida and spend a decent amount of time at the beach or on lakes and the polarized would be nice for contrast on the water (you never know about sharks or gators).

  

10701 Genuine Air Force Pilots Sunglasses AO

The US Armed Forces best kept secret is now available in the consumer market. Performance-tested sunglasses with classic aviator styling. The Original Pilot Sunglass has been a favorite of US military pilots for almost 50 years. Engineered to rigid military specifications and issued to millions of US soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen since 1958. The rugged and sturdy structure and high quality finishing of the steel alloy frame coupled with distortion free, toughened and polished True Color glass lens have made the AO Flight Gear Collection the standard bearer of all fine military sunglasses.

Great glasses at a great price4
These are great sunglasses. The optics are really good and the construction is solid. And you can't beat the look. Some may find them a tad on the heavy side due to the use of real glass but I like the solid feel. I was concerned that they aren't polarized but so far it hasn't been an issue. I have a smaller face and have trouble finding a good fit. The American Optical's in the 52mm are perfect for me. The case they come with is nice. Nothing fancy but it does the job. I do wish they came with a cleaning cloth but that's a minor complaint.
Good sunglasses for the price.4
The glasses arrived quickly and came nicely boxed and with a soft case. The AO Pilot sunglasses have a sturdy gold plated metal frame and excellent dark glass lenses. The downside of this is the additional weight, which you notice when wearing them for an extended period of time.

Be aware, the styling is very retro but if that's a look you like theses glasses achieve it admirably. If you want a more modern look the same model is available with a chrome frame and grey lenses.The 52mm lens size is best suited to a smaller face.

Overall they are excellent value for money.
Compares favorably with Randolph brand5
As a motorcyclist I am hard on sunglasses. I usually purchase Randolph brand sunglasses for their quality and durability. I decided to give these a try and was not disappointed. Lens color is neutral while providing very good light attenuation.

Only time will tell regarding durability and these units "seem" a bit less robust than Randolph, but only by a very small margin if at all.
