while were on the subject

After reading this thread I have decided to "convert" to a quality product, looking at a pair of "eye jackets" on ebay, my question is do any oakley products have orange boxes? the only ones i've seen are black, are they fakes?

Thanks

I bought a pair of Riddles but I'm thinking of selling them. They're big, but I love the 'new style'. They are very comfortable. My problem is the blind spot when driving. I'm just not used to having such wide ear arms (?). I drive alot.....so I'd hardly wear them if I didn't while driving.

ok, I'll jump on the bandwagon also,
I love the excellent optics, the style, the customer service and of course the backing of drag racing.
I called CS one day and asked about the style Tony Pedregon was wearing at the time(fours) and they totally knew who I was talking about and what model they were! Awesome.
The other thing, is that I have sat on them a few times and the design allows me to put them back together no problem when really should have broken.

Talking

I have owned a pair of Oakleys for over twelve years.The clarity (no more headaches) and comfort sold me.They are the XX's.I had recently bought another Harley(going through my second childhood).these glasses didn't keep the wind away from my eyes so when I rode my eyes would tear constantly.So when we went to E-town the first thing I did was go to the rolling O store.I ended up buying a pair of the Monster Dog Ducati's. They also had replacement rubber for my old glasses!I had a friend come in from Florida last week and let him ride with my Ducati's after he said I was NUTS spending that much on sunglasses.He ended up loving them and now understood why I spent the money on them.I got a call from him last night,he went out riding and hated his glasses so he stopped and bought a polorized pair of Oakleys and loves them! Another satisfied customer. JJ

I had the same blind spot problem with one pair and that was something I wasn't willing to live with. Simple solution: went and bought a pair of crosshairs and that's what I wear when I drive. Those tricky Oakley people!

Yeah, I have my trusty E-wires 2.1 and 2 pair of Half Jackets. I'll probably go with a new Black/Black Iridium pair of Half Jackets with the silver 'O' and 'Oakley' vs the fire ones I have.

Anyone want to buy a pair of Women's Riddles Black/Black Iridium?

Never a blind spot with my M-Frames! I use the vented heater lenses so I can snow ski in them without fogging. Excellent for all outdoor athletics as well! Ask most everyone in the MLB? These are truly the wear everyday, everywhere doing everything glasses.

I want a pair of those....I'm thinking about waiting to buy them at the Rolling O store at Indy....does anyone know if they are more expensive at the track than at a retail store?

Anybody know if they still have the all black Teeth shoes at the Rolling O Store? I love the ones I have and wear them everyday, but they aren't available on the Oakley site anymore. Just the red and black ones.

I am going to the race in Virginia in October, hoping to pick some up there.
