Oakley sunglasses: worth the money?
Up til this point I've not felt the need to spend the higher prices for Oakleys. My history of sunglasses includes a lot of broken pairs (and not always because of my negligence -- though that has happened). Now, one could argue that Oakleys are better made, and so they aren't as likely to break, thus making them worth the money.

For those who have owned them, what do you say?

They're nice, but I'm the kind of guy that loses sunglasses, watches, hats.

My mom bought me a pair of Oakleys for my bday once. Lost them about 2 months later, found them about 5-6 years later in a box and they were scuffed up to no end. Waste of money IMO.

Too expensive for a guy like me that loses items like that. Now I just stick to the little huts they have at the mall where you can buy 2 for $20 or something like that.

Yeah, they've really gone up in price (and I didn't know they sold out).

My pair was only $120 about 10 years ago and that was near the top of their price range.

There is a 500 pair made of Metal, but there has never been a 1500 pair to my knowledge

They are a waste of money, IMO.
They can be fixed. They are called "replacement" lenses

Quality sunglasses are worth the $$$. I wear SPY+ but that's mostly because a friend of mine gets them for me at cost. They have held up very well. I wear them every day while driving, and all day when I'm outdoors.

I'm rockin' the Cooper XLs

For more than the price of a new pair of regularly priced sunglasses.

The sunglasses I have right now I paid $15 at the grocery store. I've had the same pair for a couple of years now and they've held up better than the Nauticas did.

That's just insane... I also paid about $120 for a pair about 12 years ago, and they were close to the top of the line. The pair I have now are mid-range, and will hopefully last just as long.

Are Oakleys still even cool? I had some for baseball back in the mid 90's.



Be like me. Oakleys are cool, brah. Want a smoke? You need to find the Lord, brah.

Quality sunglasses are worth it. I have a pair of Maui Jim and Revo, they have no scratches. I am not too careful with them on the golf course either.

Like said above Oakley's go best with jean shorts and mullets.

Which is $25 more than the $15 I paid for the other ones, which look pretty much identical.
