  1. 1)Anybody use Oakley Half Jacket sun glasses for road
    biking? Do they keep out debris and wind?

    2) Same question for Oakley M Frames withh non-vented
    lenses?

    I am only interested in these 2 frames

    Oakley M frames are probably the best I've used for wind and
    general eye protection while riding.

    Word of caution: The farther you are from you bike, the
    stupider your Oakleys look. ;-)

    I wear the Valves and my wife wears the Half-Jackets. Both
    are incredible optically and keep almost all the debris out.
    Lately its been REALLY windy around here and I have gotten
    some crud in my eyes. Dont think any glasses (maybe goggles)
    could have stopped that.

    I thought the M-Frames looked goofy even on the bike but
    looking goofy doesnt usually stop me. I liked the Valves
    much better and the kids in the neighborhood are jealous
    of my shades. I use Smith's when I need to change the
    gradient or color.

    I wear contacts when I ride so wind protection and debris
    were of the utmost importance. In retrospect all the
    sunglasses I have worn since getting them do an adequate job
    of protection except in the most extreme windy situtations.
    The Oakley's however blow every other one away it terms of
    optical quality. Just my .02

    I have a pair of Half Jackets and worethem on the bike once when I forgot me Rudys.

    They were OK visibility wise but it felt like they were always going to fall off.

    If it was a choice of the two I go for the M Frames. There lots of colours, materials and lenses to choose from/

    I just bought a pair of M Frames 2 weeks ago and I love
    them. I wear contacts to the least little amount of wind
    will affect me. The M Frames have kept the wind out
    perfectly. I have also ridden in rain with them and had not
    problems with water or debris getting in my eyes.

    This is not true!

    The farther you are from your bike, the more stupid YOU
    look!

    Of course, in my case, hiding behind my M frames is a big
    improvement!
