![]() Starting back with the Romeo 2 however, the art and attitude aspects of the equation have dulled ever so slightly and eventually disappearing entirely with the Half-X. The release of the X-Squared marked the Return of the King for Oakley.Īs Oakley's #1 marquee line (at least to collectors), the X-metals are the only sunglasses in the entire current lineup that still truly embodies the philosophy of cohesively blending art, science, technology and Oakley attitude. Yes they could be lighter, no their weight does not bother me. All without looking ridiculous or derivative (like the XX x-metals) or without compromising fit (like Pitboss and many others that have large orbitals and terrible fit)Īll in all these are the end game for me. This is about as close to 100% coverage as you can get from any lens. Next lets touch on the orbitals themselves. The intake port is absolutely invisible to the wearer, while looking so badass from the outside. The outgrowths are invisible to the wearer. When wearing the X-metals everything about the frame just disappears. The most genius thing about the frame though, is how it just gets out of the way. Great lines and 'outgrowths' (in lack of a better word) make the frame more than just a holster to the orbitals. The earstems are incredibly slick! with the integrated "O" in the frame that wastes to dangerously thin before widening to accommodate the unobtainium. Now what makes the X-squareds BETTER THAN THE JULIETS? Earstems and overall styling, while obviously Oakley, are clearly a refinement over all other X-metals thus far. The original Romeos were heavy, Juliets are just light enough that they don't bother me. The frame is so large there that it blocks your view requiring you to move your head to see around it.Ĥth Juliets are not light, though I wouldn't call them heavy. Side to side the Juliets let a lot of light in the peripheral.ģrd the frame of the Juliet where the 'intake' port is gives you literally a blind spot on both sides. There is 0 coverage and quite a gap between my cheek and the bottom of the frame. The downward portion of the Orbital is downright appalling. Let me start by outlining the things that I don't like about the Juliets.ġst the earstems are rather dull with the exception of the hammerstems which are only on a few polished models.Ģnd while the orbitals are far from the smallest I have seen from Oakley they also leave a lot to be desired. ![]()
