Wow, that’s one heck of a review. I wanted to add a few things. I am a huge Oakley fan and have only purchased Oakley’s over the last ten years or so. I was on my way into my local bike shop picking up my new Seven (Aerios) from being serviced. I had a few minutes to kill and happened to notice what looked like a very presentable wood display full of sunnies. I tried several pairs on to notice that the fit was fantastic and all were fairly light weight. I asked the service guy when he wheeled out my bike about the eyewear. His response to me is that it was a new brand of eyewear that Serfas had just introduced. He seemed to know a lot about Serfas and that it was a California based company, not Taiwanese. He had said they had only had them a few weeks, and they were getting ready to place another order as they had been selling very well, and had sold a few pairs to women cyclists as well. He convinced me that I needed to give them a shot, and decided to purchase a pair of the Sike’s. The first thing that I noticed was that they came in a very nice ballistic type case with a micro fiber bag, and three additional sets of lenses. I did pay more than the $50.00 US retail, but heck mate for everything I was getting it looked like a good deal. I have been using these sunnies know for several weeks, and I must say I don’t think I will purchase Oakley eyewear any longer. I will say this, none of my mate’s have laughed at me, and just want to know where they can get these sunnies.
Cheers.

These are great glasses, I have had mine for almost a year. The red lenses are my favorite. As for durablilty. Mine went through the snowblower and the lenses were trashed but the frames only had a nick on them. I just put another pair of lenses in them and away I went.

It’s funny that you guys write this about Serfas Optics. I know a few of the employees at Serfas, and am famliar with some of the history about Serfas. It’s founders were at one time the number #1 sales reps for Oakley, and were long time sales reps for the company. Where did Greg Arnet and Dragon Optics come from? Just so you know they too were ex Oakley employees. From what I know the brand Serfas is a great value added brand without all of the marketing. The sad part is if you look at the glasses and the way that the fit, in most cases they are the same and or better for cycling than most Oakley product. Remember, Oakley is 90 markeing about XYZ Optics, Plutoninte lenses, X-Metal, etc. Yes, if your a brand snob, Serfas Optics aren’t for you. If you want a performance level of eyewear that won’t let you down, than Serfas is your brand. I came back from a trip to Europe and can’t tell you how powerful that brand is in the Tri market, and if it’s a hot brand in that market (especaially in Europe), than that more than validates the brand! Just goes to show you the guy that started this blog doesn’t really know much about the brand, and he should really do his research about a brand before he comments.
