I wear the Valves and my wife wears the Half-Jackets. Both are
incredible optically and keep almost all the debris out. Lately its been
REALLY windy around here and I have gotten some crud in my eyes. Dont
think any glasses (maybe goggles) could have stopped that.

I thought the M-Frames looked goofy even on the bike but looking goofy
doesnt usually stop me. I liked the Valves much better and the kids in
the neighborhood are jealous of my shades. I use Smith's when I need to
change the gradient or color.

I wear contacts when I ride so wind protection and debris were of the
utmost importance. In retrospect all the sunglasses I have worn since
getting them do an adequate job of protection except in the most extreme
windy situtations. The Oakley's however blow every other one away it
terms of optical quality. Just my .02

I have a pair of Half Jackets and worethem on the bike once when
forgot me Rudys

They were OK visibility wise but it felt like they were always goin
to fall off

If it was a choice of the two I go for the M Frames. There lots o
colours, materials and lenses to choose from

I just bought a pair of M Frames 2 weeks ago and I love them. I wear contacts
to the least little amount of wind will affect me. The M Frames have kept the
wind out perfectly. I have also ridden in rain with them and had not problems
with water or debris getting in my eyes.
