Not trashy but I only wear mine sparingly other than sports or hiking

Gotcha. Figured it was something like that instead of them falling apart or else you'd stop buying them.

Threads asking if things are trashy are trashy.

They're taf.

I own 5 pair.

I guess that makes me taf x 5.

Precisely. Whether they're actually better or not is irrelevant because by and large I'm saving money because I now give a shite.

Like I said in the last Yeti thread, my justification more often than not is the same as Mitch Helberg's:

Extremely trashy. Unless you have a pair of the vintage ones... then you are a badass

Nah...there is a diminishing return involved here.

You post pretty well so you are only taf x 2.985

I purchased a pair of Oakley Flak Jackets about 5 years ago. Replaced the lenses after 2 years.

They are the best sunglasses I ever owned.

I play various outdoor sports at least 4 days per week, year round. Oakley IMO is the only choice for athletes.

Just purchased a new pair of Flak Jacket 2.0's and I love them.

Fit and Finish is superb

0 fricks given about what you think is trashy

I appreciate your vote of confidence, LCA.

I've been wearing Oakley sunglasses for years and have never broken a single pair. Quality products imo.

Having said that, I bought a new pair of polarized Wayfarers less than 2 months ago and have no flipping idea where they are. I looked cool as hell in them too.

I have a couple pair that I use when doing outdoor activities. They're the best for that purpose IMO. The fit my face tighter and they're virtually indestructible.

I have a pair of Persol's for my M-F around town glasses.

I've owned several pair since I was a teenager. I currently have a pair of Juliet's and love them.

My work truck slung a belt on the side of I 285 , as I got out a semi came by and blew my hat and glasses off of my head. I've got to send them back to Oakley for new lenses and reconditioning.


On a side note I picked up my first pair of Costa's last week and am very pleased with them

I would like a pair of white Frog skins with fire lenses but my head is to fat to pull wearing them off.
