Just ordered my pair, came back and finished the video. I’ve been looking for a pair of old school looking safety style glasses to wear on the Harley and at work. Can’t wait to get them!
Just got mine - absolutely in love! They fit great and the shields + bridge are great at preventing air/sun getting in through the sides. Also thanks for this review! Had absolutely no idea how to remove the headstrap lol
Thank you for your video 🤙 first i would like to say I love my custom Clifdens, but they did not come with a case. I bought a custom pair of root beer frames with 24k lenses limited edition. After about a month my side shield broke off one side. I tried finding replacements for it on the Oakley website but had no luck. I contacted their support but all they said was they were guaranteed for two years and I could put a claim in and you could only do it from a computer not a mobile device. Very unfortunate 😞 especially for how much I love them and they are my favorite pair of Oakleys so far ( not to mention they were expensive) but anyway i don’t care about a claim, just think they should sell replacement parts on their website. I had to buy replacement side shields on eBay. Thinking of buying another pair in a different color anyway. Thanks again for your video. After watching I learned how to remove the other shield and broken piece of old shield so I can reinstall the new ones.
I've really been struggling with photosensitivity and I'm finally at the age where invincible youth is wearing off at 26 So I was really bummed about having to wear "obvious medical" sunglasses especially on the water and pavement and snow. I totally just ordered these custom. They have kind of a nice almost mad maxy look to them so may be different to most street wear stuff. But man they do look sharp and if I had to choose this or traditional blinders I'd take these in a heartbeat. Thanks oakley for real. I'll start popping reviews on how they help with photophobia (basically eyes oversensitive to light as migraine and motion sickness issue) once I get them, but the shields certainly look like they'll do the trick
Are yours mirrored? Do you mind me asking how you customized them (what colors did you get?)? I'm in my 20s and need glasses like these for photophobia, but I'm scared I'll stand out like a sore thumb wearing them in the city and indoors. I need the fashion confidence lol.
I have a scratched cornea and suffer from intense light sensitivity and impaired vision from coupling it with hereditary dry eyes and ontop of it. So the side blinders are freaking great. I'm 28yr old. The kicker is I have 20/24 vision when they work LOL
Anybody who's climbed before, specially high altitude peaks with more vertical climbing, knows there's a LOT of wind, and if stuff isn't securely attached on your gear, will fly off, so very thoughtful of them to include that leash
Just received a pair of these today, i like them but what i don't love is that the lenses you mentioned weren't made available nor the hardened case. All i got was the micro fibre bag. For what i spent for them i would have thought it would be included.
Forgot to mention - thanks for the lesson on installing the leash. No instructions came with the glasses and I probably would of ended up breaking them trying to install it.
Lukas Buck I just purchased a pair of these to help with my watery eyes due to Dry eye disease, so far they have helped in keeping the wind out of my eyes and hence reducing the wateriness I suffer when out in cold wind.
when you order replacement parts they are labeled as trim __&trim__ I have no clue what trim 1 and 3 are but I hope that one of them is the bridge blocker
Hey there, pls confirm if it’s the “Prizm Snow Black Iridium Lenses, Matte Black Frame” .. thanks foe the review! I love it and I wanted to be sure before getting here pairs
I reckon if the ends of the leash were woven steel they’d rub on the ends of the glasses and cause a lot of wear there. I know I’d rather replace the leash than replace the glasses.
Wonder of those are good for backcountry skiing which includes harsh sweaty ascent that goggles simply don't work because of fogging during the ascent. Would those cause fogging when face is hot and sweaty!!!
Glare is polarized. Snowboarders don’t want polarized cause you can’t see screens. You do in fact want protection from uv rays that’s what damages ur retina not “glare”
I also wear sunglasses instead of goggles when boarding, in sunny/good weather days. I wear goggles only in harsh weather, but i don't like the restricted peripheral visibility of full size goggles
Hello ,since clifden s are available only in One universal size ,can I make them smaller buy using accessory nose pads ? If yes can you recommend any ,coz they have bridge in size 17 ,I need 12 , thx 🙏
Indeed, too dark. I only use category 4 for snow and sun, or maybe navigatintg. In fact is not allowed to drive wearing them, at least in my country (spain)
Depends on how dark you want the lenses to be. The Red torch is a cool looking color but the black iridium will be much darker so better for brighter days.
Where are you buying your glasses? Go into ANY Oakley store. Most of their frames DO NOT come in a case. Maybe you're buying fakes, because academy and eye doctors both sell the real deal. I've owned roughly 10 pairs, all bought from the oakley store, and with the exception of the sliver f and my flak jackets, none of them have come in a case. All the knock offs sold online do though
I assume these could be well suited for other lighter activities involving snow, where wearing full size goggles would be cumbersome, like cross country skiing or something like that, since the sun reflecting on the snow can blind you and be dangerous
Luxottica has completely gutted this company and turned it into a shell of what it used to be just so they can have a bigger profit. If you loved Oakley before Luxottica you'll hate it now.
Hi - I see that you can get replacement/alternative lens colours for Oakley Clifden frames. Do you know if it is easy enough to pop these lenses in and out?
The leash is useless, it gets caught in your gear like backpack. The side shield are ok but they get in the way if you are trying to clean the lenses. the bridge blocker tends to fall off, pretty annoying. I have used these for a year and wish I never bought them I like the look but for real use in the southwest desert, pretty useless.
