re: Why do(n't) you own a pair of Oakleys?

Congrats on walking through the factory, but many of the glasses are now made in China. And mine are not fakes. I bought them direct from Oakley.

Now it depends on which style of glasses you purchase., Some Oakley glasses are still made in the USA—like some special editions and most of the standard issue (military) editions. Sometimes the components are made overseas and assembled in the USA. But Oakleys are no longer exclusively made in the USA, so not having “Made in USA” designation does not indicate that the glasses are fake.

Though many Oakley products are no longer made in the USA, Oakley asserts that its products continue to meet the same rigorous and uncompromising standards for performance. Oakley continually monitors production and regularly tests components from all its factories to ensure the highest possible quality.

I'm meh on Costa but I like Mauis
Still, my favorite glass lenses I've ever had were Serengeti, and my favorite non-glass are ChromaPOP by Smith

I just use them for running/cycling.

I DO because they are the best sunglasses for the sports I play.
I take care of them and they generally last 3-5 years before being replaced.

They are trashy.

You can get super nice sunglasses from Sams or Costco for $29.
And somehow the OP got out-trashied in the first response.

I gave them up at about the same time I gave up Nickelback and cargo shorts.

I refuse to buy Oakleys after Luxottica took them over. They sued Luxottica, claiming they were controlling prices by creating a monopoly,(They own almost every major brand, sunglass outlet, and eye care chain). In response Luxottica dropped them from their stores, put them out of business, and bought the company for pennies. They literally have full control of the market price for glasses and sunglasses.
This is why I also stopped buying Oakleys or anything from Sunglass Hut type places in general.
However, I currently have a nice pair of Oakleys given to me that are a tactical special edition so I'll keep wearing them until I lose them.

I used to love the looks of them when I was in high school, but couldn't afford them. I just went in a Oakley outlet and couldn't believe they trippled in price. They must make a 100 times more profit than what they cost

I actually used to wear them but realize that I think the last pair I owned might have been when I was in college.
I wear Costas to hunt/fish in and Wiley X for daily wear since I also need those as my safety glasses when I go to the field for work.

Wiley X knife model for work
