Oakley Evade.

Time for a new pair of see'in spec's to replace my Oakley Why 3s.

May opt for the Why 4's though depending on fit.

Any others to try before I buy? Must be rimless as face does not suit any other type 👿

I've got two pairs of WHY3's, and a pair of WHY8's. Wouldn't choose anything else.

Do not like the legs.........prefer the straight leg of an oakley.

Be careful with rimless specs - they can make you (me) look like a belgian dentist/serial killer.

Me too - they are light you hardly know they exist, and I like the style. Mega$$$ though 🙁

Lindberg suffer from the fact they glue the metal frame into the lens, and the nose pads fall off very easily, and only authorised stockists can repair them. They do have a large range of shapes though.

Ive been selling Silhouette rimless for 12 years, numbering into the thousands.... very simple mounting system (much copied) and VERY comfortable.

Whatever, don't go for the cheapo copies.... they're poo

i've had a pair of the silhouette rimless glasses for about 5 years now. best glasses i've ever had, expensive but worth every penny. I'll wear these until my presciption changes and then get some new lenses put in them.

just looking at the silhouette's and got a query/hijack, the only site i can find that lets me enter my prescription doesn't go far enough.

So sph is 1.25 cyl -6 axis 10, other eye isn't quite as bad only -5.5.

can they cope with the lens needed
