Hello
I am a keen mountain biker, looking for advice on some glasses before heading out to Canada biking for a trip this summer. I have had several pairs of Oakley glasses over the years (which have all been great) and currently have two sets of glasses:
Oakley Split Jackets with photochromatic prescription lenses (same original Oakley prescription lenses - sadly now very scratched; now on second frame)
Oakley Crossrange with Prizm Trail lenses (absolutely love these lenses, but not prescription)
On top of these, I have two pairs of Oakley Airbreak goggles with Prizm lenses (one low light, one prizm saphire for when it is a bit brighter), with some prescription inserts by Swedish company YouZee. Worst case I think I can just use these goggles for biking.
I’m looking however to get a new set of glasses from Oakley and I would like to use these for biking, driving and just general posing. I am seeking advice on two areas:
Fit - I have a fat head. Crossrange/Split Jacket widths are both ok, but Crossrange probably fit my big head better. I am looking at either Turbine or Mainlink XL frames. Are these both nice and wide? Any other recommendations for frames to consider?
Lens Choice - Currently it seems I can only configure the glasses with Prizm Ruby Iridium. I love the Prizm Trail (and heard Prizm Torch Trail are also very good) but it doesn’t appear that I can get the Trail Prizm lens in the prescription configuration? Happy to take any recommendations for lenses. I had also considered the Prizm Sapphire model (this is the lens I have in one of the Airbreak goggles I have).
Any help/comments much appreciated.
Chris
