In the past buying your Oakleys without trying them on first wasn't much of a problem as long as you knew the overall fit of their styles. In the recent year that adage has gone out the window with the radical style change o-matter frames have undergone. So when I did this with the new stretchline piece, Twitch, I was pleasantly surprised to get a pair of glasses that fit so well and comfortably.

Larger than the new Five 3.0 and a superb head-on mimic for the Gascan, the Twitch comes across as the smoothest embodiement of and the proper mid ground for Os new edgier stylings. Square lenes are the new welcome change and with a lower base curve one shouldn't worry about the orbitlas hitting their cheek bones or being too tight on the temples.

Though the stems may look short upon initial view they are the perfect length for medium heads and bring back just the proper amount of curve one would expect as the stem comes to an end. Even with the simpler look of the entire frame the sculpting of the earstems are very reminiscent of the classic Frogskin and so artfully doen that each segment seems to flow from hinge to stems end.

The text pattern on the frame is quite subtle on this one, but that is kind of appealing. When I showed it to a few friends they were very impressed. Just proves that less is sometimes more. Overall a very nice pair of shades and you can't complain about the price considering the polarized lenses. The fit great and they don't break the bank. I'm not too excited about grey as a base tint however.

WOW! These are great! I don't know why they didn't keep these going. Number one, they're lightweight. 2, they are VERY comfortable, and 3, they fit my Asian Face! The Warm Grey is awesome! I did a review on those, but I think I was misled and mixed them up with the regular grey. Coverage is awesome, and the fit is nearly perfect. Seems like a smaller Eyepatch 1.0. Great buy if you can find one!

*I would recommend that IF you buy from eBay, make sure they are 100% reputable. I bought a pair because they're nearly impossible to find, and "minor scratches" and "no noticeable issue", well the whole entire exterior surrounding on the lens was peeling. This is really upsetting because I really enjoy the warm grey. Oh well. His name is: paul4409

I'm fairly indifferent to this model. I bought them because they were part of the Stretchline series. They're cool, just not my style.

For me, these shades fit PERFECT! I can wear them all day and never know that they are on my head. They look really cool also. IMO, the stretchline makes it look a whole better than the square O.
