I have Tens (kinda like mini eye jackets) as I have a smaller face/head. I love them.

A silver pair of half jackets, a black pair of half jackets, black and orange lenses for both pair, and a pair of minutes.

And a pile of Maui Jims. ;)

Anyone own this pair ?


I currently have the Why 3 ;) Ti Lens 1 but I kinda grew out of it.

those are some damn nice glasses
 

I love my Silver/Ice Minutes! I'd never buy on eBay though...too risky. Oakley.com for me.

I'm thinking about getting some Half-Jackets this summer if I've got enough cash.

the XX metals are quite larger in overall width and lense diameter... i would say they're for a above average head size or face. Juliets are pretty small i think... good for a girl.

I have the X Metal XX with the Plasma frame, and Ice Iridium Lenses. Best sunglasses I have ever bought, and fit my head perfectly. The Juliets were too small for my head.

None.

I don't believe in paying that kind of outrageous cash for sunglasses that I'll just break/lose/scratch anyway.

Had the square wire 2.0 when they first came out, about a month or so later I lost them. Won't ever buy sunglasses again unless I really need them.

And, to think I felt guilty buying a pair of $40 sunglasses off a Hotdeal.


Of course I'm not the richest guy in the world.

The RB lenses are glass and much harder. Can't comment on the frames but I've been on my current pair of Ray Bans for 3 years now. Lenses are showing signs of abuse but overall they're in good shape:)

Hell yeah, what's wrong with good ol' glass? Granted it's heavier, but at least it doesn't scratch if you look at it wrong.

Has Oakley improved their lenses or do they still use the lame "Plutonite" (slang for cheap plastic) lenses?

Got my Oakley's today~!!

Damn these X-metal series are heavy :) They're very snug ;)
I'm glad I didn't get the Juliets, it wouldn't have fit my head.

Yea it was sealed, and came with the Metal Coin, papers etc..
The guy I bought it from owns a MotorSports (Bike) shop and he is an authorized oakley seller.

I have a pair of A wire 2.0 Red lense with spring hinges. Only spring hinges fit my head, which it was because I was smart...

If he's an authorized Oakley seller, then he knows that he can have that status revoked for selling Oakleys on ebay. It's against the contract to sell Oakleys for anything less than MSRP. What's the name\location of this shop, I'd like to report him. It's people like him that lower the exclusivity of Oakleys, something that they fight dearly to protect.

What's next, discount Ferrari's on ebay?
