I grew up as the Oakley brand was exploding, forever changing the sunglasses industry in two ways: they made 'sporty' shades cool, and they popularised the semi-indestructible properties of polycarbonate lenses – who can forget the marketing campaign where Oakley lenses withstood a shotgun blast?
The stylish red-mirrored versions on test are rated as 23% VLT , meaning they're considered a 'medium' in terms of light transmission, and well suited to medium to high amounts of sun; essentially, any time there's direct sunlight, either breaking through clouds, or full beaming sun, these are going to be perfect.
The nosepieces are lovely, and click to give two 'settings' of adjustment. I found them and the grippers on the arms both soft and grippy enough to prevent any slippage, even when climbing out of the saddle. However, there are two small issues, both of which are trade-offs, compromises intrinsic to such a big piece of polycarbonate, and that's reflected light. I found there was a noticeable amount of reflected light on the inside lower section of the lens. This is almost unavoidable with designs such as these, and the Demos are coated on the inside to minimise this.
