** Official Oakley Sunglasses Thread**

[Neovingian]

Since this fashion & apparel forum is new pretty new figured i'd get the ball rolling and make an offical Oakley's thread seeing as its the one item I can't live without & I have so many pairs. Also Oakley's have become quite popular. Talk about why you luv the ( O ) brand.

Which do you prefer O-Matter or Wires? Once I got a pair or wires I found it hard to go back to the O-matter frames, but every pair has its purpose.

Feel free to post pics of your ( O )'s and any pics of spy shots you might come across...

The Mighty O!

I have Oakley Square Wire 2.0's, black/black. The build quality on these are great, I'm just afraid of scratching them all the time, but still in mint condition.



Not a great picture, but my Oakley (black lenses) and Bolle (blue lenses) sunglasses.

Saw 'Oil Drum' in the stores the other day and like it pretty much. Anyone know where I can get it for a cheaper price?

my favorite oakleys were these cheap oakley 4's awesome though.
Similar (or possibly the same) as the one Snipes wears in blade.

Just sold pair the pair of Oakley Straights, i bought off neo.

Im itching to sell most of them.. probably just gonna keep the square wire platinum/gold iridium, unless the new square wire or the big square wires look better.

Currently looking at maui jims. Looking for a more classic style sunglasses. Ones where they'd still be stylish for several years. Only oakleys that I've liked long term were the platinum square wires. Had them for 6 years now, but the frame got bent, so its either buy a new frame or switch to a newer model.

the Oil Drums are siiiiick.....I Fell in luv with them when the 1st came out. Not sure how comfortable you are with buying oil drums on ebay but i've seen some go for $75 USD. You might be better off getting them in the US since the prices tend to be a about 15 to 25% cheaper for certain models. According to the Oakley site.

I'm saving up for a pair of Chrome Ichiro Juliet's with Ice blue iridium frames. They basically look like the XX Metals with silver frames & blue lenses.

ice iridium is hot... i saw a pair of Gascan's in polished black w/ a ice iridium lens. the 'O' on the side was also in dark blue. it looked dam good. i saw them at the Oakley Vault in Vaughan Mills.

[monkey-boy]

man has anyone seen those oakley minute's with the electric blue frame anywhere? I should have got them when I saw them a while back... but when I actually wanted them nobody has them anymore :\. Not sure if I really want to get them off the net or not.

That's me, Square Wire 2.0 - Gold Iridium



I'm planning to get a new pair of glasses (not sunglasses), and i think i might get something oakley, suggestions anyone?

I have a pair of Wiretaps that I got a few years ago. Like them a lot but I find them a little difficult to wear with a baseball cap due to their design.

[i-o_o-i]

I've owned many pairs of oakley wires and a couple o-matter ones and I prefer the wires because they seem to fit better and looks nicer than o-matter ones. My favourite wires are the square wire 2.0 w/ spring hinge and the wiretaps are also pretty good. The x-metal ones are really nice but a little too expensive...

I've got a pair of oakley valve's and love them to death. black/black iridium.

All the people who diss oakleys either have never tried them on or don't care bout their eye sight.

okaley x-metal juliets with ice blue iridium lens. love them but they are a bit heavy and i'm bored with the frame style. i think i might try some wires next time.

There are people who don't like Oakleys? Wow...

I know there are people who've never heard of them - my friend didn't know what they were until I gave him a pair of C wire for Christmas. I kind of got them from the trading post from RFD
