My dad says I am being too hard on Lance in my commentary, so I thought I would focus on something that Lance and I have in common. We both love Oakley sunglasses. Lance loves them because they pay him a ton of money, and I like them because they are super awesome glasses. If you have been watching the Tour, you have seen many of the top dudes wearing Oakely. There are two models that are being worn.
Radar Lots of different color options and lenses are interchangeable. The coolest feature on this model is that the lens is anti-fog, and it has a coating that sheds liquids such as rain and sweat. You will always be able to see out of these glasses without taking them off to de-fog them. Radars start at $155 and go up to about $250. Custom colors and lens engraving is available.

As you can see in these pictures, the Radar is the most popular pair of glasses in the peloton.
JawboneThe Jawbone is worn by quite a few riders. It looks a little younger than the Radar, but it packs some pretty cool features. The lenses are coated to resist water and fogging, just like Radar, but the real difference is how the lens is held by the frame. The lenses are actually free from any stress by the frame….basically free floating. Lenses are ventilated to keep it from raining between your glasses and eye sockets (always a good thing). The nose piece is probably the most adjustable nose piece ever included on sunglasses. It is quite easy to make these glasses fit any face shape.
