I've been buying Oakley's for a couple of years now and I've had about ten pairs of sunglasses though I've lost a few. At the moment I've got a Radar Path in White Chrome/Blue Iridium, a Flak Jacket XLJ in Silver/Fire Iridium and a Juliet in X-Metal/Ruby Iridum. I've also got a Jawbone arriving next week, with a Polished Black Frame and a Positive Red Iridium Polarised lens and a Persimmon lens.

I love Oakley's!.

I bought sunglasses for driving.

Diesel frames with polarizing prescription glass in them....

 

[Audio-Omega]

Avaitor style sunglasses are still pretty popular.

[immtbiker]

Which model are those?

 

[gallardo88]

pretty sure theyre half jackets

 

[mierenneuker]

Indeed, Half jackets in Asian fit, jet black frame with black iridium lenses

 

[immtbiker]

Nice.

Asian fit? Do they have "Brooklyn fit"?

 

[LordofDoom]

Half-jackets were my first pair, and a good first pair they were ^_^

I don't mean to bash other people's choice in shades, but Oakleys do not have good lenses and a LOT of them aren't polarized. You will seriously destroy your eyes if you regularly look into the sun through non-polarized lenses. Don't spend any money on them unless you can get them cheap.

Steepandcheap fanatic here. I got these (Costa Del Mar Pumphouse) a few days ago for Boatwear. I"m on a Boat!

On the the whole Oakley deal. Like above I don't mean to bash anyone else, but I've owned them and I am not a fan.

1. You're right, you have to search for a polarized pair. What up with that?
2. Marketing. What is unobtainium and plutonite. "Hey, I bought these Oakleys 'casue they have plutonium in the lenses and they're unobtainable." ....excuse me?
3. The 90's. Oakleys were a big part of a cheesy cult of personality in that decade. Along with a Camaro Z28, an arm full of tribal tattoos, puffy Everlast workout pants and a bottle of winstrol, a pair of Oakelys completed the cool-guy look. Oakley, for me, has never been able to recover from that stigma.

I've had problems with both my metal Oakleys, and both of my plastic Oaks were creaky and sound cheap.

Well, I get headaches from my ESS ice glasses if I'm wearing them for a long time, and all the glasses I tried don't give me the comfort the Oakleys give.
and beside, they are made of polycarbonate so I can use them as shooting glasses for long sessions

 

[nukaidee]
