I spent about 45 minutes in a shop today trying on Rudy's to see what I liked. After pulling all 25 pairs they had out, trying all of them on, and systematically ruling pairs out based on alien-like looks, percieved venting problems, and fit that I think would drive me nuts after several hours of wearing them, I think I've settled on the Rydon's. I like the feel and they don't look "too hokey":http://www.designboom.com/eng/trend/eye/oakley.jpg. I think I might look into the vented lenses and I'm waiting on a friend to see if I can get a deal, but should have a new pair soon. steve - I think it's pretty funny too. expensive, but funny nonetheless.

I love mine, they came with two different lenses and are super lightweight. They have really good all around coverage and feel like they're glued to your head. I wore mine on wave-runners all last summer and even after getting launched into the water they stayed on. I’ve got pair resembling the Nike Pursue.

Super light and unobtrusive, and better venting than anything else I've had. Not to expensive, either (in the grand scheme). The Rudy Project Kalyos I got last week are pretty sweet.

Sorry about your misfortune. Scratch that, I'm really not. Too funny. Not a big Oakley fan, but I love my Half Jackets.

Sorry about your misfortune.

I didn't realize all their stuff had the interchangeable lenses. I kinda like the look of the Hardtop, might have to see if I can find somebody around who carries them and may have a pair I can take a look at. Jacob - I had a pair of RP Kerosene's for a while, and have thought about getting another pair somewhat like them. I like the look of those Rydons, for sure. I think Rudy has some sort of scratch replacement program as well. Those glasses met their demise somewhere along Route 7 coming back from vermont to school in new york. I left them on top of a car, and they probably didn't make it very far down the road. Rhino – Somebody else had recommended Native to me as well.

Had them a year and a half still in great shape. I have the Rudy Project Rydons and I love them. Had them a year and a half still in great shape.
