Advantages: Style, quality, exclusivity (due to the price tag)
Disadvantages: High purchase cost, will not suit everyone
Ever wondered what glasses Tom Cruise was wearing in Mission Impossible 2? They were the latest edition to the Oakley range: the £200 Juliet's! These glasses are truly awesome! I normally spend about £280 on a pair of Revo Pythons with a polarised lens (Nasa bought the lens technology off them) - but these Oakleys win hands-down for outright style and quality! Available in one frame colour (titanium) and a few lens colours (silver, red and gold) - more are being added all the time. These Juliet's will not suit everyone - but there are many other styles in the Oakley range to choose from. An interesting fact about these glasses: 5 different metals are needed to construct the frame of these glasses - they need to be heated to a 1/3 of the temperature of the sun to bond together and form the exceptionally rigid (just try bending them) and strong frame. They also get a top quality, polarised, lens too! Overall, I think that these will become a very popular pair of glasses - sure to be copied by all the manufacturers - and are extremely versatile: for sports, driving or just relaxing in the sun - these glasses really do have it all!

- 14/02/01 I have just bought a pair of C-Wires and have tryed on a pair of these. C-Wires are £70 less and I believe more comfortable. Good op though
