    as a former oakley athlete, i can clearly say, i still have an obsession to have and wear them...
    in the meantime i pay them, but i usually get 4 of them every year.
    having said this, since they got bought by luxotica, the spirit changed a lot.
    innovation cleary slowed down and mainstream took over in many aspects of the product range.
    nevertherless, my eyes are too importanf to wear something else...

    Actually Oakley M-Frame saved me from losing my left eye as well- in a race, where I crashed through a car rear window.

      It was actually 15 years ago. It was one of those days.. Race was going really well and I was infront of quite a small bunch, when road races gravel section began (Strade Bianchi kind of race). Quite soon I had my first puncture and soon after second one. Those punctures dropped me very far and I almost lost motivation to fight forward. But then I saw my friend coming from behind and I thought to myself "It´s a stage race, so every second counts and who knows, what might happen- have to keep on going". I was looking behind, to see when my friend catches my wheel and suddenly I saw, how my friend swirved quickly to the right, I turned my head forward and BANG. I always wanted M-Frames and after the crash the first thing I asked from the driver was "are my glasses ok?" lol. The funny thing is- I crashed into the commisaires car and I have been cycling commisaire (BMX cross) for 6 years now.

      Jesus man! You did a Davis Phinney!! I'll NEVER forget seeing that awful crash & I'm sure that Davis is reminded of it every time he looks in the mirror. Glad you didn't lose your eye, my friend...when I first started following cycling in 1984 (when I was 10 y/o) Hinault & then Lemond were virtual anomalies when they wore sunglasses while racing (& of course, while Hinault's Ray-Bans were rather subtle, Lemond's famous yellow Eyeshades were anything but!!) & now they're 100% ubiquitous!! Man, even without the obvious protection from dust storms & bugs, etc I could never fathom how they could ride in the glaring sunlight (especially in the Alps/Pyrenees & Mont Ventoux would have to be the very worst of the lot on a hot day) without ending up with killer migraines.

    As buyer of Oakley for 25 years, I would say the Subzero line and Jawbreakers are also missing from this list.
    The Subzero and Zero lineup to follow really opened up a frameless design that actually worked well. The jawbreakers with the easily interchangeable lenses and good looks, great coverage, and the ability to customize is still to this day my favorite cycling sunglasses.

    @vcbb1090 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I personally opt for the Oakley Radarlock. It provides good protection on the bike, looks good and most importantly has very easily interchangeable lenses. I often take off on a ride when the sun is out and with the Radarlock I swap in my clear or Amber lens when the sun goes down to give me protection from rocks and bugs at night.
    I now own three pairs, over a dozen lenses and I've even set up one pair with the matching retention strap and some foam floats for taking out on the boat or jet ski.

    Other eyewear is available, but Oakley is Le Tour, The Open, Test Match Cricket, Motocross, Olympic downhill skiiing, etc...
    The original icon of sports eye protection, and I wear mine with pride.

      id prefer just a normal 30 second add for sunglasses put into their normal videos. but i guess they know 90% of people would just skip it and they get more views by making something snazzy like this. hiding the word 'ad' on a white background in the thumbnail is a little sneaky though!

      I've only had two (Eyeshade & Razor Blades) but I still have 7 of them - 5 of the former & 2 of the latter! Actually, 6 of the former but one of my 2 yellow pairs of Eyeshades is still BNIB & will remain so until after I'm gone! Still have the original warranty card from more than 30 years ago in the clear box & all.

    Wow! The Eye Shades at 12/13 years old blew my mind. What were these things i had to have. Sadly I couldn't afford them but I saved & saved. By the time i had the cash.... Razor Blades. They were my 1st pair. Since then Frogskins, M Frame, Eye Jackets, Racing jackets and so on. Yes its an obsession and i still have them all (except Razors as they got smashed up and i binned them! Oh no!)

    I worked at a Oakley dealer about a decade about. A guy brought in a pair that had some shrapnel stuck in the lenses from a shooting range. He was requesting we replace the lenses because the shrapnel was in the lenses and didn’t just bounce off. We were a bike shop. We just laughed at him and told him to be happy that shrapnel is not in is his eye. That was when I truly became a fan of Oakleys. If they could do that they were some high quality glasses.

    11:30 so tell me again why all Oakley's don't ship with an additional clear ANSI rated lens included for that $200+ price tag to protect your eyes when it's not bright and sunny out? I just keep trying to talk myself into a pair but they are literally the only brand I've looked at that a.) doesn't actually offer good peripheral coverage and b.) doesn't include an extra lens.

    • @lavielemond
      @lavielemond 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Preach, my friend. But I'm guessing that your question is rhetorical, because they would lose money/miss the sales of a separate & overpriced clear lens to willing buyers.

    Oakley Eyeshades? I thought they were called the Factory Pilot when they were first released.

    • @lavielemond
      @lavielemond 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      They were, so you're not wrong, my friend!! I referred to them as FP's until they released the Heritage Edition of the Eyeshades & even then, I initially thought that they had simply named them for some reason & even all of my Eyeshades have Factory Pilot printed upon each of their microfibre pouches.

    Oakley's lenses tend to peel-off like a lizard skin...I have different models with that problem. Many people complain about it and seems to me that Oakley doesn't care to fix that issue!

    No Radars?? How can Radars not be on the list?! Also those Racing Jackets aren't "proper" Racing Jackets, they are the Jawbones which were later rebranded as Racing Jackets. The original Racing Jackets were genuinely iconic whereas I don't think the Jawbones are.
