When you are on the market for a set of sunnies we all have most certainly viewed Oakley. The American brand features a large number to choose from and if you're unsure which'll suit your best bet is to try the Oakley Radar EV's as they provide the least showcase style out from the lot. Oakley Jawbreakers or the latest Flight Jackets all offer the same tech however for us the very best fitting and least obtrusive remain the Oakley Radar EV. It isn't only looks that attracted me to the Oakley Radar EV's, even though the latest Splatterfade collection pair I've been testing do look great. In functionality alone the Oakley Radar EV scores a good 10/10 and this is a key area where it out scores lots of rival brands. Zero distraction is key here, if I am in a position to forget the sunglasses exist then it's doing its job, precisely what the Radar's do.
The lenses are the very best bit, though, with several options available. The most inexpensive is Oakley's standard HDO lens, which is available in several colours such as the blue pictured. This is a great option and often worn by Team Sky. For £10 more Oakley offers its road cycling-specific Prizm lens, which can be my favourite. It gives excellent clarity and makes the planet look slightly more vivid – useful when trying to identify pot holes. For £185 Oakley also offers polarised lenses which are great at filtering out reflective glare. However, as said, I have found the Prizm Road lens optimal. The standard, performance and aesthetics are typical excellent and in my own mind beat Oakley's other the top of range glasses. Although, the likes of 100% are on the up and pushing Oakley on the performance front. A current Oakley Radar EV later on? Yes please!
