I've had my black Oakley D2 watch since 2010/2011. It has served me very well through schooling and firefighting/EMT. However, the band started cracking and I used gorilla tape to secure it. About 15 minutes ago, the band finally snapped. I hate throwing things away so figured I'd see if anyone...
I can get away with the 2.0s as extrication glasses (and they work pretty well). I have the case hanging off my Traffic vest. I think my academy helmet was made by Bullard.
I use the SI Square Wire 2.0s for my class A. (What service are you in for a Class A?) The SI Flaks are used for standard work. The SI Minute 1.0s sit in my Jeep and are backup. The SI M Frame 2.0s are my extrication glasses and the case clips onto my traffic vest. Civilian Halfs are my sporty...
After these go out, I'm looking to get a pair with the side zip and with safety toe/heel. The side zip will help SO much when I have to switch to my structure fire boots. I don't have a lot of time to unlace everything and throw my gear on before our truck or engine leaves.
I've been using these for a few years now and I've been impressed! My first pair of SI boots were the 6 inch original Assault Boot. I wore them when doing basic fire safety and when I went through the fire academy. They were great boots but got pretty hot in the summer. I still keep them in my...
Oh man...giving high school me (in the early 2000s) that kind of money...I'd have so many classics. On a side note, I have a friend teaching in Romeo, Mi.
Oh man, I totally miss the old site from 2002-2003. It was so much easier to navigate. The newest reboot just freezes and is godawful. Same with the Vault site. Totally miss the mad science stuff, too. Ohhhh the days of past... Also, totally agree that gas stations have moved on. No matter...
Is that Maynard in your picture? My first REAL concert was A Perfect Circle/Mars Volta. Always cool to see the classic Oaks worn by bands I like. I also always saw Oaks on the wrestlers I used to watch
I've got a smaller face so the SW2.0 still fit (and mine are SI). They're the "dress" pair for when I'm in uniform. The Flaks and the halfs are main main "go to" sunglasses. I dunno, I just find the square look (gascan/fuel cell/etc) a bit too "young" for me. While the EJs were way too big for...
The Eye Jacket is what got me into Oakley. I still have a pair of Old Minutes, too. I miss that style and wonder why Oakley changed things up. I also miss the simple yet sleek/professional wires. The Square Wire 2.0s were my favorite but I also have a pair of Whiskers. Anyone miss these...
Be very careful with water resistance. My D2 claimed to be 10Bar but got water logged in about 2 feet of water. I have a Polished/Black and it looks nice
