Oakley Meta Vanguard vs Oakley Meta HSTN

The Meta Vanguard is the better pick for serious cyclists and runners: IP67 sealing, Prizm lenses, interchangeable lenses and Garmin/Strava audio coaching make it a training tool. The Meta HSTN is the more everyday pair, with a full frame, prescription support from -6.00 to +6.00 and a longer claimed battery. Owners praise the Vanguard's fit, audio and camera but split on whether the quality justifies the outlay; the HSTN has far less owner feedback, so judge it on its specs and try both on.

• Choose the Oakley Meta Vanguard if you ride or run hard and want Prizm optics, a sealed IP67 frame and pace coaching from Garmin or Strava in your ears.
• Choose the Oakley Meta HSTN if you want one pair for daily wear, need prescription lenses, or prefer a full-frame look with longer battery life.
