Oakley sunglasses

[esrice]

So who here is a fan?

I am, and its been a while since I've had a pair.

Next month I'll be having laser eye surgery. When I do, I'm going to treat myself with 2 new pairs of sunglasses. One for shooting/hiking/sports/outdoors and one for casual/dressed up.

On the casual side I'm thinking of going with wire frames, like the Splinter.

On the sporty side I'm liking the Flak Jacket.

What do you guys like? Bonus points if you include a picture of yourself wearing them.

Anyone on INGO have an Oakley hookup I can use?

If you are Military, LE, Fire, or EMS you can go to https://secure.usstandardissue.com/Index.cfm and create an account and order from them. The last pair I got from there was about 50% off from MSRP.

Edit: These are mine

Im another die hard oakley fan. Just ordered replacement lenses thru the same place. Biggest problem with standard issue is that they dont have all color options. I think it may be clear and smoke color lenses only though you can still get them polarized if you like. My replacement lenses were much cheaper here than anywhere else though. Im currently in a pair of custom ordered straight jacket.

Oakley Bifocals

The surgery is great, my son had it done a number of years ago and it worked great. But Oakley can accommodate, in prescription lenses, those who choose not to get surgery. My lineless bifocals below:

I wear a lot of hats, and have always had a hard time finding a pair that would fit under the bill. I finally decided on the standard GasCans and really like them.

The only pictures I have of me wearing them are from when I was headed out to go camping.

Black, Polarized GasCans. I typically wear these most of the time.

Desert, Bronze Lenses (not available to general public). These are mostly worn at the range.

I do as well so I thought I would wear a hat when I go shopping to try several on.

Do the GasCans fit under a hat? I'm not nearly as cool as you Nick so I'm not sure I could pull of the look like you do.

Yea, they fit comfortably. Or you could wear a flat bill and have no issues at all.

Again, not that cool.

 

[Classic]

Again, not that cool.

You really should leave the price tag dangling too.

 

[Car Ramrod]

Again, not that cool.

Me either, plus I think they look silly.

I hear the more money you have the less silly it looks.

 

[Yeah]

I have a Juliet frame that is on its 5th or 6th pair of lenses.

I wish I could pull these off. I wish I wasn't such a child about my eyes so I could get some kind of corrective surgery.

Evan, take care of my light work for me!

Have you looked at the new models from Revision?

Revision Military | Military Sunglasses | Goggles | Sawfly | Hellfly | Wolfspider | Ballistic Eyewear

They have some pretty nice looking ballistics-grade glasses.

 

[esrice]

Have you looked at the new models from Revision?

I haven't. I wasn't all that impressed with my last departure from Oakley (Wiley-X), so I'm hesitant to try out yet another brand.

This time I'm willing to put some $$ into some good quality glasses for my new laser eyes, so I want what's best.

 

[theweakerbrother]

From what I understand, the ballistic protection offered by Revision can't be beat unless you're wanting to move into the realm of googles and helmets. And now they have that covered, too:

 

[esrice]

Ok I'm totally gonna get that for range use. Burl ain't got nothin' on me. . . .
