Product Description
If you've ever worn a pair of Oakley Radars, you certainly loved them for their amazing fit, slightly aggressive styling, and amazing optics. And if you're anything like us, you probably didn't care much for the amount of flowchart-reading and elbow grease required to change the lens on a Radar. Oakley heard our troubled cries and offered up the Radarlock Pitch ? a refinement of what is quite possibly the most worn and most imitated sporting sunglass on the planet.Lay the two next to each other, and you'll notice that the geometry, frame profiles, and signature earstem exhaust ports of the original Radar and the new Radarlock are more or less the same. But that's about where the similarities end. The Radarlock is constructed from the same lightweight O-Matter polycarbonate, but the earstems are now constructed from several different pieces, giving off a more dramatically sculpted design that grants a slightly greater degree of outward flex. The O-Matter hinges are now tensioned, giving them a slight spring when opening or closing. Oakley also opted to terminate the Unobtanium rubber earsocks a bit further from the stem tips to give the glasses a better fit with many helmet retention systems, and also to leave room for perforations that allow fitment of an accessorial retention strap (sold separately). As evidenced by its name, the Radarlock is characterized by Oakley's Switchlock technology, which allows you to change out the lens quickly and efficiently. Due to the Radar's unique Polaric Ellipsoid shield lens geometry, the mechanism is a little different than what you'd find on the Jawbone or Fast Jacket, but still very simple nonetheless. Simply engage the slider switch on the inside of the left temple, and pivot the earstem towards the inside of the lens to open the clamp. This relieves all of the mechanism's clamping pressure which enables you to slide the lens out of the frame groove and the notches on the opposing temple. If it seems like all of the switching

After a long battle with inferior sunglasses, mainly because I was being cheap for so long and I didn't want to spend anymore than $20 on a pair of sunglasses, I finally reached my last straw.
The features I was looking for in Sunglasses were a pair that were very durable; scratch, sweat, and water resistant; secure fit to my head, no slippage on my nose bridge; white frame color (to dampen sun absorption). These were perfect and more.
What I really enjoy about this pair of glasses is the ability to swap out lenses from the frame, which is why these are called 'lock' glasses. They unlock from the front plant to allow you to remove the lenses. When you purchase the sunglasses, Oakley provides you with two pairs, one shaded, and one yellow tinted lenses which is used primarily for foggy days in order to brighten the surroundings. The yellow tinted lenses really does help.
Everything is very durable, and it happens to fit me very well. I really can't complain so far. I've gone on distance runs already and ran a half marathon with these. I've splashed water and Gatorade all over myself and probably these sunglasses and the liquids just roll off.
When wearing these sunglasses there is just a confidence factor that you get because you just feel cool! Aside from the cache of it being a pair of Oakley's. Overall, I've been very satisfied with my purchase, and I expect to be wearing these sunglasses for most likely the next 5 years or longer, assuming they hold up.

The photo and description indicate these are PATH. After order was placed, invoice indicated 009182-03 which corresponds to PITCH. Confirmed PITCH upon receipt. Buyer beware. Glasses are great, but i suggest you buy them somewhere else to avoid the confusion.
