No longer have Oakleys. Although I recall the optics were excellent. Sort of expected and after a few years of normal wear and use, fine scratches did appear.
I've been a long time fan of Sarengeti and are every bit as good in the optics. The lens seem to take the abuse but a negative on frame longevity. The frame materials easily snap, especially in the cold and the hinges wear out - flimsy. Like Oakley, prices have gone to ridiculous.
Back to Oakleys: I don't exactly remember the details but years ago was at a factory located outside of Montreal. They make sports related eyewear including pb-mask and swim goggles. Anyhow, walking thru the plant they showed a mold for a mask lens that was jeweled polished and looked flawless chrome in the extreme level of grind. I think they mentioned that they make some lens for Oakley. Nice stuff. I have some of their swim goggles that are amazing.
