Large, Stylish, and Oakley quality.
By ObsidianGT
Oakley Lifestyle sunglasses are superior sunglasses that are built for performance with style.

This is a large sized frame and lens combo. It is comparable in size to the Antix and Oil Rig, and is very similar in style to the Antix; they look almost the same. In fact, I believe the only major difference between the two is that the Antix has a blade lens (single piece), whereas the Hijink has separate and individual lenses for the left and right eye. However, I believe Oakley cuts them both from the same piece of HDO lens to maintain optical clarity.

As for polarized or not, that's a personal decision. You can Google about the pros and cons to decide for yourself. I will tell you that there are so many polarized lenses out there that are just terrible. However, Oakley's polarized lenses are the best I've experienced because they maintain the optical clarity of the non-polarized HDO lenses. You will still experience some of the rainbow effect, but not nearly as bad.

Most of you know about Oakley's O-matter frame and HDO lenses, and for those of you that don't, you can go to their website to read about them. In short, the frame is strong and durable, the lens is ridiculously strong and optically clear. By "optically clear" I mean that the lens does not distort the light like almost every other pair of sunglasses out there (yes, even the expensive ones). The frame may seem like ordinary plastic but it's actually an incredibly durable plastic material they custom make.

Great for 2 years and then...
By M. Quadros
These sunglasses are great. They are very sturdy and comfortable, the polarized effect is excellent, especially at the beach, exactly what I would expect for an Oakley. I was super happy with this purchase, until...

I paid $165 at the Sunglass Hut about 3 years ago. They worked great for the first 1.5- 2 years, but then the film around the lens started forming a bunch of tiny bubbles, mostly on the outer side but also on the inside. At first I didn't care much, because they were few and only at the edges, but now the bubbles are all over the lens and made my sunglasses unwearable. The most annoying part is that the warranty is only good for 1 year, so I can't complain about this defect, which was not caused by misuse. I went to the Oakley online store, replacement polarized lenses were $75+. Now why would I pay that much money to put lenses on an old frame, especially when I know that they won't last very long?

Here's the bottom line: If you are will ing to pay this much money for a pair of sunglasses you plan to replace in 2 years, go for it! But when I pay $100+ on a pair of sunglasses, I expect them to last far more than 1 year (I'd be happy with 5), so this warranty is pretty much useless. I expected much better from you, Oakley.

Great sunglasses
By Eric Keller
I have owned this pair of Oakleys for over a year (probably a record for me). I love the look, and the polarized lenses are stellar for optical clarity. Highly recommended.
