Hello all,
I am new to the forum and to Oakley sunglasses. I just bought my first lair last week and so far I have zero complaints and am absolutely loving them. I went with the brown smoke antix frame with the tungsten iridium polarized frame.
Now for my concerns. I bought these glasses before doing any prior research about the specific lens or really Oakley lenses in general. Now I am reading everywhere that the iridium lenses scratch very easily. This is a concern for me as I hate scratches and a replacement lens is expensive. So just how easily do they scratch? I am very anal about always keeping them in the bag and clean, I did buy the Oakley cleaning kit as well. These glasses will be worn pretty much daily but not in a harsh environment or abused.
I guess at this point I am considering returning them and getting something non iridium coated (even though I am liking the iridium) just for the sake of longevity.
I also have one other quick question and wanted to get your guy's thoughts on. These glasses will be stored in my car. Am I better off using a visor clip or storing them in the bag?
Sorry for the long winded post. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this and respond.
