Oakley Meta Vanguard smart glasses have become my go-to workout companion and my favorite way to preserve memories of my time outdoors. Whether YOU'll like them comes down to the weight.

Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) and Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses have wide-ranging styles and lenses to appeal to as many people as possible, blending in with normal glasses and working both indoors and outdoors. Oakley Meta Vanguard has the same tech, but a polar-opposite approach and audience.

You're not wearing these into a museum or on vacation to learn about art and landmarks, nor on a late-evening stroll for music. They're designed (and priced) for athletes who spend hours on trails, slopes, boats, or courses every week, and who want to capture and share epic moments as organically as possible.
