Oakley M2 Frame Sunglasses – Complete Review

[Ventruck]

Welp, picked up a beater grey polar hybrid lens. Doesn't visually impair, but I also didn't see myself spending more ($30),the sake of experiment.

Not that I didn't trust Rust's word, but I'll second the notion that the lenses do fit in. In my experience it was less of a fuss than the native lens. Pulling it apart seemingly requires the same amount of force so I'm gonna go on a limb and say it should work for all practical intents.

A Sweep or M2 Asian cut would look best imo. Ultimately I can't say it got me interested in the frame again. I've considered getting rid of mine.

So it's a M2 with a M lense?

It looks good tho ... Would a path lense fit/look good?

I don't think there's a Path cut under the M line. Hybrid (which I pictured) or Heater would be closest. But yeah, it seems like the case that M-Frame lens does fit the M2 for sure. However in the OP, Rust also mentioned how Slash and Heater don't quite fit right to him.

 

[Rustpot]

They fit into the frame fine. They felt weird when wearing. The tighter fit might be something. I know the slash was on my forehead. I think the Heater just lacked the secure feeling of the normal M Frame with the shorter arms of the M2.

I did the same with my 2 pairs. Fit is snug but I like the M frame lense better than the M2, and the M2 frame better than the first so I combined the best of both worlds

I have since sold my M2. Let that speak to my feelings for it. And my disappointment on the support and variations for the frame.

If they make a pro with long stems I might be back in the M2 game. Or if they make any bigger lenses. M2 XL might be something I dig, so long as they don't Radar XL it and just add height-over-nose.

Did I see where they did come out with an M2 XL? Oakley clearly takes direction from Rustpot!

Loved the history lesson! Just ordered a pair of m2 for my first pair and love them! Will look into getting some of the m frame lenses now that I know they will fit

 

[schnitzeraffe]

All right.

So the M Frame lenses in the M2 frames work, but not the other way around.

Has anyone tried modifying an M2 lens to fit in an M Frame?

I'm asking because I'd like to have a Prizm lens for my M Frames.

@Chris A Hardaway, have you ever done this before?

 

[Chris A Hardaway]

Honestly, I've never sold an M2 frame at all! Embarrassing I know. I've sold M frame, radar, and radar lock. I would have to get M and m2 lenses in hand to see what modification was necessary! This is a better job for a "hand cutter". But depending on what it Is I could probably do it.

Anyone have a picture of an m2 and M frame lens? So I can see the little flanges on it.

 

[schnitzeraffe]

Here's an M Frame's flange.

Hopefully an M2 owner can chime in with their's.

Or better yet, a side-by-side comparison of both together.
