OAKLEY SI Ballistic Eyewear 3.0 vs 2.0

A comparison between these two models.
secure.usstand...
****"Strike" technically refers to the lens type but all the military M frames have always come with this lens so I have slowly started calling them "Strike" rather than "M Frame". The reason I do this is because technically the older black M Frame was a M frame 2.0 in the civilian market and that would make what I call the the "strike 3" a M frame 4.0. So just roll with it when I call them both "strike".

Thanks for the video. I was in a battle between the two and didn't know which one would be better but I like the fact that the 3.0 is more eye protection in case of shrapnel.

[@gregvance]

Thanks man, I had been wondering about the differences and that covered everything, you were direct and to the point.

[@Bryce70]

Thank you for the comprehensive review as well as answering the backwards compatible question.

[@wolfman7284]

Good review. Quick, to the point, and all in less than 5 minutes. I would up vote it twice if I could.

[@chino7057]

Great review - answered everything I was wondering about between the two.

[@zipshot]

Thank you for the review; helped answer the questions I had before purchase...especially that part about if it would hinder the ear protection/com gear.

[@DeltaPrime95]

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks so much. 10/10 video.

[@EMMANUELTDimla]

Thanks. Easy to restore my ballistic 2.0

[@dranuahsnauj]

Good review... answered all of my questions. Now I'm ready to buy.

[@syan3283]

Thanks for your video, it was very helpful for me to choose the right frame. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@djjllbc]

Sir you read my mind I wanted to know if they were backwards compatible? You answered my question, I love UA-cam and thank you for providing the review and answer!

[@faceblasta]

Yes, I do that now as a matter of fact so I can wear polarized lenses or iridium.

[@RipLikeABeast420]

Can you get prescription lenses for these? or any ballistic glasses for that matter.

[@pitcherthis6483]

Thanks for answering the compatibility question!

[@mohdikwaninik9760]

Are that sock fit for Alpha M Frame? Cause mine wasn’t really comfy

[@1026367]

What about the nosepiece? I have a ESS U-RX nosepiece for SI M Frame 2.0, but I am planning to get SI M Frame 3.0 instead. I wonder if the 2.0 nosepiece is compatible with the lense of 3.0?

[@matthewflores9484]

1026367 did it fit?

[@TEKHPANDA]

I want the Multicam ones!

[@vpsaline]

does a 3.0 lens fit onto a 2.0 frame?

[@vendopanv1364]

Do you know if fits?

[@vecna2182]

@@vendopanv1364 it does

[@vendopanv1364]

@@vecna2182 thanks, i will buy the ambar ones for my 2.0

[@coltonbrown5993]

Are these solid black? Do you know if you can get polarized lenses for them?

[@janoycresva919]

What i mean is that i can only find oakley m frame 2.0 replacement lens on the market and not 3.0

[@oreview]

Great review. Looking to get the Multi-camo soon

[@gummybear41283]

I have a big head will the 3.0's fit my head? or should i try the new alphas??

[@johntoodles7556]

Are the black lenses ballistic or only the clear lens?

[@prominence2826]

Awesome video man, thanks

[@janoycresva919]

i dont understand this .... if the lens is difrent in 2.0 and 3.0 how come it sells as if one product at most shops

[@alexsosa5727]

Have you tried the m frame alpha’s? And if so what is your opinion of them ?

[@akaTheDevil]

Which one do you prefer if you could choose?

[@faceblasta]

The nose pieces are interchangeable

[@billzadventures856]

does anyone know what APEL means on the side of a M frame?

[@stormwilliams6092]

can you remove the lock tab and use traditional m frame lenses??

[@lucaspeterson5775]

Does anyone who if I can use 2.0 lenses on the 3.0 frames? Seems like the 2.0 lenses are easier to come by. Thanks!

[@ropatikalepo683]

where can I buy some and how much are they

[@AlexeyDnepr]

Which is better?

[@JaQ_777]

Is the 2.0 frame compatible with traditional M frame lenses?

[@gregvance]

I haven't owned Ballistic M's but used to have standard M frames and as far as I know they're all the same size lenses and frames just that the ballistic ones are tougher to withstand higher impacts.

[@JaQ_777]

gregvance thanks for the reply, I got the ballistics with some lenses meant to be used with the m frames, they fit like a glove!

[@faceblasta]

They both are.

[@sopotiuck]

just received my oakley m frame 3.0, awesome glasses are super light and hug your head snug so they aren't flopping around. i was wondering if they made a set of lenses that are polarized though. Can anyone answer this for me thanks

[@TEMSWIL2067]

Nice Review, So the 2.0 version it's better for big guys?

[@teamevo9265]

The 2.0 is better all around. The 3.0 being slimmer and the hinged brow clip snaps all the time

[@njmtbiker]

does the 3 take 2 lenses?

[@nathanhamblet8690]

What branch are you in

[@villasikten]

Just wondering what color the lens is? Is it grey or black?

[@rdcook2044]

villasikten I agree with you if I was in that mode

[@iOrbittt]

can oakley 3.0 lense fit into the 2.0 frame? theoretically it should, but you never know

[@kevinpoole1786]

+iOrbitt That's what I want to know too.

[@iOrbittt]

i ended up buying the 3.0 lens's and they fit right in!

[@ethans8055]

+iOrbitt where did you get the 3.0 lenses?

[@littletuck9]

yes they do

[@Slipknot2RIP]

Do the 2.0 work with the 1.0?

[@intelin123]

Yes and the 1.0 fits the 3.0

[@teamevo9265]

The 3.0 brow clip is crap. they snap all the time. the "hindge" style design makes it brittle.

[@billythekid1729]

Lol if there's shrapnel your eyes are the least of your problems.

[@sleazykilla360]

WHY ARE THEY $130?! nothing I saw here justifies a $130 pair of glasses. Thats literaly plastic and rubber. WHY ARE YOU CHARGING $130 FOR PLASTIC AND RUBBER?!?!?

[@Donnydarco100]

stfu you annoying ass piece of shit
