Questions and answers
- Which is better for cycling and running?
- The Radar EV Path. Its Prizm lens, 13% light transmission and large wrap frame are built for bright, fast sport. The Sonic G is fine for casual runs but gives no light transmission figure.
- Is the Oakley worth the extra $125?
- If you want Prizm optics, a precise XL fit and a 4.7 rating from 93 buyers, yes. If you just want polarized glare protection, the Sonic G at $45.00 covers that for far less.
- Which fits larger heads?
- The Radar EV Path. It is an XL 138 mm frame with 128 mm arms. The Sonic G is one size fits most, so it may pinch on wide heads.
- Do both have polarized lenses?
- The Sonic G lists reflective and polarized lenses. The Radar EV Path listing shows Prizm lenses with 100% UV protection, and the eBay listing specifies polarized Prizm Black lenses.
- Which lasts longer?
- The Radar EV Path has the longer track record, with 93 ratings averaging 4.7 and an O Matter frame. The Sonic G has no rating history to judge durability.
- Which is better for low light?
- Neither is a low-light lens. The Radar EV Path is rated for bright light at 13% transmission, and the Sonic G is a dark polarized lens.
