Oakleys, man. Just get a pair of M-Frames, Half Jackets, or whatever suits you from the Oakley line. You won't regret the decision.

..untill you get your credit card bill.... ;) Especially if you're like me and need a perscription. On top of the crazy price, they not only leave a line where they insert the optic, but HIGHLIGHT the damn thing with a white line. Ugly and expensive! But, yeah, an M frame should fit any head. I've seen many a BIG jarhead wearing em.
Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.

I like to try on my glasses first.
I got a pair from a place at a rest stop on the parkway.
Very light, very comfy, 100% UV, and they look cool. 2 Pair for $20.00
If I scratch them, drop them, lose them they are only $10.00.
:cool:
Nothing to it, but to do it

Oakleys would have been my first choice, but they're not in the budget....with spending MUCH more than I wanted on my bike, I can't really go above maybe $50. That's why these really caught my eye. $120 shades for $40 ($36 w/ the discount)
So....what you're saying is....benching 1.5 times your body weight 10+ times is NOT good for triathletes?! OOOOOH! :eek: :D

And I saw on their website that they have a replacement plan if you scratch the lenses or break them/frames.

I got a pair of Zeal Zektors with prescription lenses recently. I had tried them on at a booth at a race. I'm impressed with the quality of the lenses. I also tend to fog easily and haven't had a problem.
PS. I don't work for, or have connection to the company.

Alright, I've had these glasses for over a month and thought I'd give my impression.
First, the quality of the components and lenses are very nice. The clarity of the lenses are extremely clear and they don't fog up very easily. They don't fog up at all until my ride is over and I'm getting off my bike and start to get undressed.
Second, the frames do not stay on perfectly. The brim of the glasses have a sweatband glued to it which would work great IF the lenses stayed in contact with my face. These glasses were made for a person with a larger face and I fit that bill (I wear 7 3/8 to 7 1/2" size hats). They don't slide down far, only a fraction of an inch or so...but it does slide down far enough to make that sweat band worseless
Third, it came with the clear and the gray lenses. The clear lense has a blue tent at the top of the lense which helps block the sun a bit...not much, but just enough so that if the sun is barely showing, then you're good to go. Very nice. The gray lenses aren't very "gray". I actually wear these in the morning and evening and it's still dark when I get to work. If it's extremely bright outside, I can't imagine these helping out that much, so I'll probably end up getting another set of lenses when summer roles around.
So, overall, my only gripe is that the lenses are slightly too large. That's it...

Nashbar.com is having a kickbutt sale on these and I've always had a rather large noggin (7 3/8"). It looks like a nice deal, but if the glasses don't fit, then it's still a waste of cash!
Nashbar Zeal Optics
And on top of the price...if you put TKA6 into the promotion code, there's an extra 10% discount. So the price is right, but have never heard of this company.
Just did some research and found some reviews on the "blast" by zeal....the blast specifically says it's antifog but th Slim Stream doesn't make that claim. This is kinda important for me because I tend to fog up very easily. Any input?
