I have been wearing Oakley's for years and the last pair I added the polarized lenses.

I had a pair that got stolen out of my hotel room. Now i just dont have that kinda cash to put out, even though id like to own a pair again.

Love my Oakley's. I used to buy 10 cheap pairs of glasses each summer. I have had the Dart and The Spike now for 10 years.

I've worn Oakley's for 20+ years, started buying polarized after my Lasik.

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.

Might I ask what u paid for these? Very cool :-) the bottom set I should say

I need a set of replacement lenses for my square wire 2.0's. Looking for the fire iridium color. Seems impossible to find. My google-fu is exhausted. Any suggestions?

Oakley Gascan Sunglasses SI (Desert Tan) + FREE Repair/Cleaning Kit : Default

$110

I wear my Gascans at the range all the time. I have another pair of wireframe Oakley's with polarized lenses, but forget the model. Love them, and can't bring myself to switch to a different brand.

Big fan of Oakley, but recently switched to Ray Ban. I think I like the Ray Ban optics more now

What about them do you prefer?

I have never paid more then $25 for shades, my eyes are getting older so a couple of weeks ago I decided to bump it up a notch and orderd a pair of Polarized Gascans.
Well they arrived today and are defective , one arm is really tight and makes a hidieous screech when opening. They will be returned for replacement or refund, needless to say I am pretty dissipointed. I also noted they did not have MADE IN THE USA on the inside of the arm. It was an Amazon deal so I am pretty sure they are authentic, we shall see.

UPDATE

Well it's winter and with the first snow I'm reminded again of why I love Oakleys-- high quality polarized lenses!

The glare coming up off the white snow is harsh, and you don't realize how it affects your eyes until you slap on a pair of sunglasses. I immediately feel my eyes relax.

I need to get a pair of Oakley's. I had a pair about 10 years ago and lost them somehow or another, and they were free! I'll have to research and get a pair this spring, I am tired of wearing crappy safety glasses when shooting. Lol

I bought a pair of Square Wire 2.0s many years ago. Titanium frames and fire iridium lenses. I LOVED them. Had them on top of my hat cutting wood and got whacked by a branch and lost a lense. By that time they were discontinued and the only replacement lenses were on eBay for several hundred dollars. I looked in every Oakley store I ever came across hoping they would have a pair laying around collecting dust and sell them for the original retail price. No dice.

I have them as a saved search on eBay but had lost all hope of finding any. A couple months ago, I see a pair of used lenses with a buy it now price of $14.99. I looked at the listing, and one lense was scratched beyond repair but the other was in good shape. I couldn't remember which lense I was missing, but I still couldn't click buy-it-now fast enough. I got lucky...



Now that I am wearing them again, the earsocks are falling apart. Back when Oakley still had them, they would send you new ones whenever you needed them for free. Now eBay is the only place you can find them and they are going for $100. Might have to settle for some cheap knock-offs in a different color, those can be had for around $15.

I was thinking about this earlier today.
I want a good pair of polarized with bronze rather than black lenses.
I just have a hard time paying a lot because it seems like all glasses scratch so easy
even when you are careful, then the getting lost or broken factor.
The search may begin soon.

I'm still shocked at how scratch-free my Oakley lenses are. I wear them every single day and they look brand new. I never clean them with solution and only dust them off with a microfiber cloth occasionally. The lenses still feel slicker than snot. Rain doesn't stick to them and doesn't leave water spots.

I'm either wearing them on my face, propping them up on my head, or they're sitting on my dresser (not in a case). I'm not super rough with them but I don't baby them either. My Flak Jackets are O Matter (plastic, lol) so they're lightweight and flexible if dropped or crushed.

Because they were so $$ I do take special care to not leave them laying around.

There are some expensive products where it's clear you are paying a premium for the name or reputation. My Flak Jackets are one of the few things I feel confident in saying are worth the money, and that the "hype" of "Hydrophobic High Definition Optics", "Unobtainium sleeves", and "O Matter" frames is matched by their actual performance. That's rare.

Oh, they do offer brown/bronze polarized lens options--
