"I personally like it and have been wearing it for almost 10 years. I think its good investment.


Update: 6-20-2009
I dropped my pair of sunglasses on the roadside today. When I found it it was being roll over by cars. One of the lens bent halfway. One of the adapter lens cracked into 4 pieces. Amazingly, the frame has no structural damage! Only few stretches. Judging by the way the lens bent, the frame must been roll over by car tire. I am so impress with the frame."yorkee

Ease of installation

It was very hard to find proper place for prescription lens for the RXSOS at that time because of the curve shape

(4)

Ease of use

just wear it :)

Quality of Construction

Its a mix. Structural wise, I have been wearing this for 10 years. The frame is still good. However, all the rubbers fall apart within the first year.

Fit

It looks too big but its very comfy when it cover every area you are looking at. They have the bigger version called Viailante

Durability

10 years of usage! best bang for the bucks out of all my sun glasses (and normal glasses too)

(5)

Appearance

looks big, but I like it

(1)

Customer Service

never able to replace the rubber!

(5)

Performance

I can see clearly through all the lens. Even after 10 years.

Traveling 100km/hr and I can still open my eye. Exceptional wind-blocking ability

the only down side is the prescription piece is too close to my eye and sometimes it fog.

Strengths

only pair of prescription curve lens I can buy.
able to switch lens
able to adapt prescription piece

Weakness

rubber piece fall apart easily
