Hi, thanks for your time.
I have a question:
What do you think about presciption Eyeglasess on O Matter material? is it recommended?

If O-Matter is partly Nylon based, then does that mean when you go out hiking, hunting, fishing/etc/etc that it would be bad to have DEET based repellant near it? I use Picaridin based repellent already because it won't eat away at nylon-based fabrics or my camera lens coating/etc like DEET will.

There are a lot of Prescription glasses in Oakley's catalog that are o-matter frames, about 79 choices to be exact (including the Holbrook).

The material is pretty rigid just being worn, but can withstand the slight bends and what not on the models that are designed to have their lens interchanged (not sure if this is recommended to be done with prescription lenses or if the mount is any different). They even have Flak 2.0 XL available for prescription.

I have a pair of Oakley Batwolf, and they keep falling off, and are now scratched as a result. At what’s temperature doesn’t the frame become mouldable? I want to reshape them stay on better.

Get a frame that has unobtanium earsocks an/or nosebombs and that will solve your problem. There are a few pairs that are similar to a batwolf but have the rubber on the frame.
I’ve never had a frame fall off that had earsocks and nosebombs including on rollercoasters
