Cons
The price point will likely be a deciding factor for many cyclists on the fence about which pair of glasses to buy. At $280, the RadarLocks are on the high end of the market when it comes to cost. And with so much gear to buy, sunglasses, while essential, aren't likely to make you ride any faster.
The other problem I have with the RadarLocks is the ease at which the lenses are changed. The lever on the side can be hard to hold open while you pull the nose piece out of the frame, and the process is a little more complicated than the directions indicate. If you compare the 2013 model to the RadarLocks of years past, these are much easier to change but will still take a little getting used to before you can rid yourself of the fear that you might snap the lens in half.
Verdict
Money might be an issue, as they are one of the more expensive pair of glasses out on the market. But if you're looking for top-notch performance and style, you really can't go wrong with these glasses. And if money is a factor in your decision, Oakley has rolled out several other special edition glasses like the Special Edition Tour de France Half Jacket, which are an excellent option for those riding on a budget while still looking for high performance and quality in their eyewear.
