I picked up a pair of foakley gascans in Myrle Beach this weekend for 10the bucks. I wonder if Oakley lenses will fit in them?

I've worn Oakley's since I could afford my first pair before I headed off to college...many many years ago (Oakley Razor Blades )


My current Oakleys are Splinters with Black Iridium polarized lenses.

I have owned many pairs of oakley glasses including M-Frames, Flak Jackets with the photochromic lenses, Half Jackets, Polarized Juliets and Non-polarized Juliets.

While I like the look and feel of the Juliets, they have one factor that is very annoying. They have specialized rivots on the bridge of the nose that losen after a few months of wear. These are not something torx or metric that you can tighten on your own. If you want them tightened, it will cost you around $100 for service through Oakley. For something that cost $350-$400, that really bothers me!

I really likes the Photochromic lenses. Makes for a very versitile set up! I would like to get a pair of the Half X but scared to pull the trigger on another high priced pair of Oakleys!

I still wear my 10 year old M-frames every time I shoot.

Maybe one of you guys can help me with this question: Are all Oakleys ANSI rated? The website doesn't seem to be clear on it. A friend that just got into shooting asked me that after I recommended he pick out some Oakley glasses to protect his eyes on the range.

Anyone have any way to tell which ones offer the ANSI protection?

I tried on a few pairs today and took pics. I'm pretty keen on the fuel cells and gas cans. I even tried on a pair with white frames and I must say, I look pretty sexy.

As bad as I am with regular sunglasses (losing them, sitting on them, dropping them, etc), there's no way in hades I'd shell out for Oakleys. But at the range, that's all I've worn for years. SI M-Frames "Hybrid" 3-lens array:

NOT all Oakley's are ANSI rated. I shelled out $200+ for a pair of Straight Jackets that are polarized. If you look on the ear pieces, see if it's labeled "Z87". Some are, others aren't. Oakley says most lenses "meet or exceed". I love mine and will buy again. They don't fit under a ball cap/PC.

Honestly, my dad used to ruiinn cheap sunglasses. $10 a month. I believe he even melted a few with a soldering iron. Until he got oakley's. He realized spending a good chunk of cash would teach him responsibility and how to take care of things.

That's true...plunking down a pile of bills for a pair of polarized Oakleys will certainly make you take really good care of them!

In the many, many, many years I've been wearing Oakleys I've only crushed one pair under my butt and I'm fairly certain that a pair of polarized Whiskers have washed ashore somewhere around Tampa by now!

My wife and I spent Monday evening downtown, and I got a chance to visit the new Oakley store in the Circle Center Mall. I tried on many different pairs of sunglasses and I finally narrowed it down to the two that I'll be buying (1 for sport, 1 for casual).

Thanks for all the helpful advice I received in this thread. You can follow the progress on my LASIK procedure in this thread: https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/break_room/199359-my_lasik_experience_start_to_finish.html

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 have those same frames, and love them. I had transition lens put in them, so they are my every day indoor/outdoor glasses.

Bet those weren't cheap.

No they weren't cheap, but the company I worked for back then had a ridiculous vision plan that covered $450 for just the frames. ...I don't know where in Hades you can find $450 frames. The biggest cost to me was paying extra so they'd be transitions. My next set of glasses will probably be the $6.95 ones from Zenni Optical.

I have a set of M frames that I bought in 03, worn to Iraq (in 04) and most the time since then. Recently got a new pair of half jackets, used at the range today. Both have the lens from the standard issue site. Great deal, especially since I wear either set of them everyday just about, and all the time. Great things, still have the lens that stopped a piece of shrapnel from hitting my eyes.

My Tightropes came in today. Felt good to be back in polarized Oakleys.

The Flak Jackets are on a 3-week backorder, so I'm waiting patiently.

I think I need to take another trip downtown to the Oakley Store to find some sturdier cases.
