I bought the OGA 100090 frame in early 2018. They are categorically the worst pair of glasses I have ever had. The arms are one-size-fits-all. Unless you have a head the size of Shrek they are one-size-fits-nobody. So about those ares. They are made from a plastic that does not bend. They are meant to grip your temple but the plastic has no grip and is slippery. They fall off all of the time. If I go for a walk I am readjusting them at least every 5 minutes.

My optometrists tried to bend them and they just ended up with cracks. Eventually they broke when I tried to fit them. Morel refused to replace the arms so I had to buy more useless arms at $180. Thanks Morel. It gets better. Because the frames are one- size-fits-nobody they stick out about 2cm, almost an inch, behind my ear. I am not Shrek but I am not tiny. My head is about average.

This ingenious design means that if you put a shoulder bag or backpack or hooded rain jacket or a hooded sweatshirt on, you knock your glasses off. The glasses cannot be worn with a hood or beanie or any type of fitted fabric hat because the arms stick out too far at the back and either push down your nose or sit distorted so that you cannot see.

All these needed to work was shorter arms and grip on the inside of them so that they actually do their job.

The design looks awesome but the form and function is a zero. I do not know if this is a reflection of all OGA glasses by Morel Lunettes but I am steering well clear.
