Which Holbrook Should I Buy?

[kylem]

So i am new here and also a recent Oakley customer. Got my first pair of Oakleys two days ago. I got the Holbrooks in matte black with silver Oakley O's on the side. I love them for how light they are and comfortable. The thing is that i am contemplating on getting the polarized version which has polished black finish instead of a matte. I like the matte since it doesn't attract fingerprints and doesn't scratch like the polished finish but it still looks nice. It's just that i don't need the polarization. So the extra $50 in my mind isn't really worth it. But what do you think? I was also deciding on getting the clear with chrome iridium lenses. Those seem like they might be a little risky for me but i love those chrome lenses.

are you looking for a new pair sunnies or would you just swapping lenses?!?
in this way you could stay with the matte black frame . . . and replacement lenses are available
the clear fram is not option if you will wear it in the sun. it´s a bit irritating, if the sun goes through the frame.

Well i decided i want to get the chrome iridium replacement lenses if anything. But they do cost $55 and at the moment i don't have that kind of money to waste. Any place i can get them for cheaper? Or can they customize it in the store even though i already bought it? I also never seen a customization option for these on the website.

you could try ebay of course to get a pair cheaper . . .
otherwise these are the options which oakley offers Oakley Holbrook Replacement Lenses available at the online Oakley store
i think they don´t have the custom offer on oakley.com but you could ask in a store!

well, aftermarket lenses are cheaper. if that's up your alley. but i would stick to replacement lenses. 55 bucks ain't much, and i swapped in chrome lenses into my matte black frame "splatterbrook" as well. and they are sweet as!

Oh and just so you know, if you have an oily complexion the oil will stick to the matte finish and you'll be constantly cleaning the frame.
