Frames very strong and the nose swivel makes frame replacement very easy.
Vented lenses good at preventing fogging up and provide a little fresh air for the eyes.
Original lenses are excellent.
I use VL lenses for replacements as they are cheaper. Not quite the quality of Oakley originals but the polarisation is good and they fit the frames well. Importing anything costing £15 or more should incur VAT and an £8 Royal Mail handling fee but they seem to get through without a bill.
I have also just bought some fake Jawbones. Some marks in the plastic but overall they are very good and you would have to be an expert to spot the difference.
The cheap lenses are just that - pretty awful.
If you want to upgrade the lenses then watch out for the fit. Fake Jawbones are made to fit the cheap replica lenses so the real lenses (inc proper fitting replacements like VL) may not fit into the frames without some filing down.
Watch out on eBay - a lot of claimed genuine glasses are not so. The easy way is to look at the vented lenes -the bottom two vents are more or less symetrical and the inner top vent has a concave slant.
