Knockoff oakley

[jack smith]

Got some from the uk £10 posted apparently the lenses have been tested by optical express as this guy sells them as a business, no idea if that is true, i never asked he just said it but to be honest im only planning on using them twice so ill take the risk.

I've got some old Dewalt safety glasses, lightly smoked a bit like these

I've used them back to back with my Oakley Flak jacket and I'll be buggered if I can tell much difference other than the Oakleys are slightly darker. At least the Dewalt's are fit for purpose in terms of proper lenses and stones flying about (as opposed to knock offs) and it's not going to make you cry if you stand on them.

Why are you only using them twice ?
Once going to a fancy dress party dressed as a cyclist and then again on the way home ?

Sorry I meant wanting them for Just two races if they last then then im happy, will probably use then all the time though

Loving their utterly cr@p site navigation if you click on the about us or contact us links etc. I'd be worried about my card being cloned on there as much as the quality of the product!

Also, this:

Just to be clear, the dangers from knock-off glasses may only become apparent after years or even decades. If a pair glasses blocks visible light but lets in UV light, it can be much worse for your eyes than no glasses at all. Your irises will dilate because of the low visible light level, letting much more UV light bathe the rear of the eye including the retina. This can lead to macula degeneration. Also, the UV light can damage cornea and lens and lead to cataracts, and the glasses may reduce glare to the point you don't look away from potentially damaging light.

Depends how much value you place on your eyesight...do you really want glasses that lance Armstrong would have worn?!

But they were also worn by wiggins, cavendish, niballi, contador, aru, uran uran........just cause lance wore them, shouldnt be a reason not to buy or trek, nike etc etc would go out of business

But as others above have said, make sure they have the correct levels of UV protection

I've had two pairs of fake oakleys - both now in the bin having broken, both at the nose bridge. Not worth it at any price.

Shame on you, I thought you were an upstanding member of the CC community!

No, I do like a bargain though. Unfortunately, these weren't..
