Yes reputable bike and outdoor gear stores should also carry Oakleys. I love mine (have several different kinds). I have tried Smith's and other brands and find them nice as well, but love the fit of my Oakleys anmd love the fact if a lens does get scratch ( and eventually it will) it's easily replaced. And the clarity of the lense is awesome. I've not heard there is a shattering problem but you can probably google around ot see if there are any reports if that is a concern.

PS - with the lenses popping out - I had that problem as well but it was because I didn't put them in right. Since I've learned, no problems. There is a technique.
