The Overview:
As someone who’s days tend to jump from workout, to coffee shop, to dog walk, to skiing or biking, I like to have products that can address the randomness. Oakley’s Twenty six.2 sunglasses are just that. They look cool, yet have functional features like nose and ear grips that suit almost any outdoor activity.
The Test
I wore these sunnies on a fun, quick cross country loop called Bar M during a mountain bike trip to Moab, Utah. I really liked the coverage they provided around my eyes, especially in the peripheral areas. I felt very protected against the intense desert sun. The lenses are Polarized, a standard Oakley feature. They provide 100-percent UVA, UVB and UVC protection. I experience no squinting at all, and enjoyed a crisp, clear view and great depth of perception.
The frames are lightweight and comfortable, and do not slide even with a bike helmet on thanks to nose and ear grips. I particuarly liked that the ear pieces are straight, instead of curved like most sunglasses are. It seemed to prevent any uncomfortable pressure points behind your ears. These sunnies also perform well in hot, desert conditions, I didn’t experience any fogging.
