I generally prefer matte- as it seems do others in this thread; although I find that somewhat interesting given Oakley's near obsession with Polished Black and Ink frames so for some reason THEY think the preference is that, not matte. Matte sets off lens colors more in my experience and are cooler and less "sticky" to wear- but again, its quite rare and less of an option vs. alternatives as a matter of course. That said? I avoid both if possible- black hides frame architecture and frame styling cues..but that's another topic and you didn't ask that :)

So which color frame would you go for in say the Turbines for example? (With a Daily Prizm lens)
