I hit things with sticks....
While on vacation to the hot and humid state of Florida we were at several amusement parks including a water park. I started making some interesting observations as I was doing some "sunglass watching" to keep my mind multi-tasking
Only a few % of all the sunglasses I saw were Oakley. Most were the sport models (flak and half jackets) and the larger styles....GasCan etc. I saw only 1 of the following - X-metal (Badman), Fives Squared, Jawbone, Split Jacket, Straight Jacket, Fast Jacket, and a few wire frames.
Ray-ban was about the same numbers as Oakley's, and probably and equal percentage of designer brands (tommy bahama etc....).
Over 90% were just cheapo no names brands.
The most frequent styles were aviators and (frogskin/wayfarer) styles. I estimated both these styles equaled about 70% of the sunglasses I saw. Aviators 40% Froggies 30%.
Several other interesting observations:
At the water park, that was the one place I saw the most people wearing Oakley's and in the water mind you.
A good portion of people with Oakley's I saw wearing them up on their head.
I could have easily wasted half my vacation explaining to people the negative effects of hair products and chlorine on their Oakley lenses.
