I owned a pair of these before and wasn't the biggest fan of them. The colors were boring and did not interest me at all. The fit wasn't amazing either, but since I am Asian, they actually sit rather well. Now, according to different people, these actually look somewhat decent on me, while others say they look goofy. I think I look rather goofy, but they are amazingly beautiful. The only reasons I decided to get another pair was for the Artist Series. The design of these makes up for the lackluster overall design. These are one of a kind and will probably sit on display. If they work on you, go for it! If you can get your hands on a pair of the Artist Series frame, it is definitely worth it!

I've always been thinking about buying a pair of these. I was hesitant due to the style and fit, especially being Asian. Although these are not my favorites, they fit me pretty well and look decent on me. I couldn't say no to a this pair, which was on sale for only $39 at the local vault. I'm also not a huge fan of the Grey, but I suppose they are classic. I wouldn't recommend these for driving though. It's nice to have something different in my collection though. The lens contour kind of reminds me of the old crosshairs, but overall, nothing really special. The pinstripes are a nice touch though.

I never really liked the Montefrio. I tried on the Olive Tortoise version at my local Sunglass Hut, and I thought I looked like a bouncer in Las Vegas in the late 70's. Meh. I got the urge to buy something unique, and I remembered the Wood Grain Frogskins. I hate FSs, and I remembered that the finish was originally on the Montefrio. I found a pair on eBay for $60, so I got them. The colorway has a lot to do with the look. I hated the other colors, but the WG is pretty awesome. I can easily see this pair becoming part of the regular rotation. Cheap+unique+not bad looking=Must Have.

Has to be probably the coolest colorway released of any model glasses....flawless grain finish, feels super cool in hand! I cannot express how impressed I am with these. Hopefully they will make more woodgrain patterns. I've heard a woodgrain froggie will be coming, I can't wait!

Upon seeing these online, etc I hated them. After trying on a pair in person, I had to have some. They are extremely "cool", very fashion oriented. I like how they have a little less wrap than a hijinx, etc. Makes them much more "noticeable" and even make the normally toned down polished black, etc "loud". A great take on trendy sunglasses, very Oakley, without sacrificing any style, etc...the Barras series is even sweeter!
