Black Chrome G30 Square Wire 2.0 Sunglasses
From LoveToKnow Sunglasses
Black chrome G30 Square Wire 2.0 sunglasses are versatile, sporty, and from a reputable sunglasses line. Once you get your hands on some, you'll wonder why you ever wore anything else.
Why Black Chrome G30 Square Wire 2.0 Sunglasses
These sunglasses are good for just about everybody. Everybody. Yep, they're unisex. They've got style to span all types of faces and the technology to stand behind them. So, about that technology…
- Iridium lens coatings mean they'll work well in just about any lighting situation (this is not a part of all square wire sunglass lenses, but it is a part of some of the lens colors available)
- Side—peripheral—vision is not compromised as it is in some sunglasses due to the XYZ Optics® utilized in Oakley's design—even though the lenses curve around the sides of your face a bit.
- They stay put so you feel secure thanks to Unobtainium® earsocks
- Lightweight metal frames can take abuse thanks to special earstems and hinges
- Impact resistance
- G30 lenses in particular are great for adding contrast to blues and greens. Rose is also a good color to use for snow activities.
As for how they look, the shape is fairly complementary to all face shapes. The frame color, black, is great for darker skin tones or even brunettes with fair skin. They may be a bit harsh for blonds with fair skin, but there are other more suitable colors available for that combination. The rose lenses are good for most skin tones but not all activities.
Where to Look for These Sunglasses
- Shade Station in the UK has this style in stock for £100.00. If you live in the UK, you also get free shipping.
- eBay also sometimes has this model available for bidding. Always be sure to check a seller's ratings and take extra precautions to make sure what you're getting is a pair of genuine Oakleys and not a knockoff.
- Sunglass City has this color combination available. There is some warranty information on the site, but it's recommended that you read your Oakley paperwork thoroughly as well.
Sadly, on the Oakley website itself (as of this writing), the Black Chrome G30 Square Wire 2.0 sunglasses are out of stock or discontinued. On the plus side, you can always check out sites like eBay and Amazon.com in addition to the online sunglasses stores.
Pricing
In the UK, expect to pay around £100.00. US sites have them for roughly $150.00. How do you decide if they're worth the cost? Ask yourself a few questions:
- Do you tend to get one pair of sunglasses and wear them endlessly or do you prefer to stay on top of the trends?
- Do you participate in a lot of outdoor activities that beg for rose-colored lenses (golf, for example)?
- Is your sunglass style on the sporty side?
- Do you frequently subject your sunglasses to rough treatment?
- Are you tired of your sunglasses slipping when you're working up a sweat?
- Do you like buying sunglasses that come with a warranty? (You'll need to read the information that comes with your frames for information about what's covered under the warranty, and you'll also need to fill out any paperwork that accompanies your new sunglasses.)
