Oakley Why You Gotta Be So Annoying?! :(

[OakleyFrankFMJ]

The turbines I didn't like because they felt tighter on the temples than the rotors.

 

[The Dark Gnat]

I assume your favorite of the two are the turbines? Do the two of them differ in size at all?

Here are some comparison pics.

Maybe if you posted a selfie we could better judge what pair would suit you.

To give credit where credit's due, that's Frank's idea, not mine.

I concur.........wait! Oh yeah. I concur.

I would say, if you've tried the Fuel Cell and they suit you, buy a Fuel Cell.
In terms of 'customising', I assume you mean changing the lenses. Fuel Cell lenses pop in and out easily, so if I was you I'd buy the Prizm Fuel Cell, and maybe get a second pair of lenses later (e.g. Black Iridium for really bright days) and just swap the lenses out depending on the weather that day. Oakley lenses stop a shotgun blast, so honestly you're not likely to snap them by changing lenses in a plastic frame.

Given your massive disappointment with your previous choice of frame that you bought without trying on, I'd be reluctant to advise you to do this again (with a Turbine or Turbine Rotor). If the Fuel Cell fit/suits, step in and go for it.

Just my 2p.

Yet ANOTHER story about me being frustrated with Oakley / my head/nose


The saleswoman said that it was difficult finding the right ones for me because I have a wide/high nose bridge.


Can you recommend any which have are on the larger side for oddly shaped nose bridges like mine WHICH HAVE PRIZM? lol

You blame Oakley for that !?
Why don´t you just get a nosejob, so all Oakley glasses will fit you !?

Jeez, people today ........most people that get nose jobs don´t need it, and the ones that does, refuse to get one !
