I should Work at Oakley
Let's try this...
1) How many glasses in your collection?
142 including 2 goggles
2) What was your first ever pair?
e wire with burnt / black iridium (1997)
3) Do you have a 'special' pair with which you have a kind of emotional attachment?
I would say the e-wire... it was my first love...
4) Which pair do you think you suit the most?
the straight jacket II fits me really well
5) Which pair do other people (wife/partner/friends etc) think you suit the most?
good question... i've always decided for myself
6) You are in a hurry - which is your quick grab, go-to pair?
the x-squared (x-metal w/ ruby)
7) What is your favourite design/model, either in your collection or not?
romeo 1. my plasma with fire is showing some stress cracks so i stopped wearing them
8) What would be your dream pair - if you could ask Oakley to make a signature model for you?
I would say the straight jacket II made with x-metal and carbon fiber with HED etched on the lens
9) Which pair is always with you when you go on vacation?
my 24k x-metal xx
10) Which was your best 'bargain buy'?
my alum c-six for 3501) How many glasses in your collection? Currently 13. Just sold off 4 pairs
.
* I bought two for the GF. Encounter's and Breathless?? No idea what they're called.
2) What was your first ever pair? Nanowire 2.0 - VR28 Black Iridium Polarized.
3) Do you have a 'special' pair with which you have a kind of emotional attachment? My Nanowire's. Very first pair, which is now retired. They went through a lot...I took great care of them, but they fell off of my head at a baseball game and fell a good distance. (Had nosebleed seats). They were still in tact, but a nasty scratch on the lower left side made them unbearable for me to look through. Still keep them though as the very first piece that started my Oakley obsession.
4) Which pair do you think you suit the most? The Wireframe's look the best, specifically the Splinters, Nanowire's, and Hatchets. The most comfortable are my Nanowire's.
5) Which pair do other people (wife/partner/friends etc) think you suit the most? My girlfriend thinks the Gascan's look the best on me, but I can't wear them for long periods of time. This is really unfortunate though, because some of my favorite pieces are in the Gascan line.
6) You are in a hurry - which is your quick grab, go-to pair? Nanowire 2.0's, Pol. Tungsten Iridium, Matte Black Gascan, VR28 BIP Chrome Splinter, or Flak Jacket's. I tend to use these the most because they're great for driving.
7) What is your favourite design/model, either in your collection or not? In my collection, both the Tron Gascan's and the Don Pendleton Fuel Cell. That particular artist series pair is spectacular, and truly a piece of art in my opinion. My favorite design would have to be the Troy Lee Gascan's. The spiders are awesome!
8) What would be your dream pair - if you could ask Oakley to make a signature model for you? A 24 K Nanowire haha.
9) Which pair is always with you when you go on vacation? Usually take the Flak's or Nanowire's with. Can't beat the Hydrophobic Coating. Otherwise, the TACA or Livestrong Fuel Cell's.
10) Which was your best 'bargain buy'? Not the most significant pair I own, but I snagged a pair of M-Frame Industrial glasses with Persimmon lenses for $30 brand new! Use them all the time in the wood shop. My students always compliment them.

X-Metalhead
1) How many glasses in your collection
6 X-Metals, and 3 O-Matter
2) What was your first ever pair?
Zero 0.7. Awesome sports pair. When I lost them I went on a long hiatus, and eventually got a Livestrong Radar when that was released.
3) Do you have a 'special' pair with which you have a kind of emotional attachment?
The Radars and the Juliets have been on many adventures with me, and plenty a good time had..
4) Which pair do you think you suit the most?
The Juliet and Radar are perfect fits, but the Romeo1 is pretty good too. Mars Crater and Zero 0.4 when im feeling crazy! (they surprisingly fit well too)
5) Which pair do other people (wife/partner/friends etc) think you suit the most?
My gf hasn't said anything, i think she doesnt like the obsession.. and many friends cant even tell my Juliets and Romeo1 apart..
6) You are in a hurry - which is your quick grab, go-to pair?
Romeo1. Unless im getting dirty, then maybe the Radars
7) What is your favourite design/model, either in your collection or not?
Top picks would go to the Penny - its quite something to look at. It seems like it has all the right curves..
8) What would be your dream pair - if you could ask Oakley to make a signature model for you?
I'd love a Signature Romeo1 Revived.. although, ever since i saw a drawing of a "rusted copper" Penny, the idea has just intrigued me.. i think that would look beautiful with all the green streaks with different tones.. perfect to go with emerald lenses.
9) Which pair is always with you when you go on vacation?
Used to be the Juliet. We shall see now.. I have a feeling the Radars will come along with the Romeo1's.
10) Which was your best 'bargain buy'?
Nabbed a Original Zero 0.4 Glitter/Gold for $90.. with box and all!
My gf hates my Oakley obsession haha. Even though I bought her two Oakley's (Encounter and Breathless), she still insists on wearing those cheap, $10 DG glasses when she's out in the city. BriP
X-Metalhead
Haha, well.. mine didnt complain when i got her Polarised White/Ice Flaks, and a pair of purple/Ruby Enduring.. and shes stopped wearing the old cheapies so thats a good sign. But i dont know how to break it to her that ive just got 3 more x-metals.. =S
btw i subbed to your channel, i expect good things sir! (review some X-metals if you get the chance!)Oh! Haha thanks. I actually don't collect those. I had a pair of Juliet's for awhile, but they never fit me that well. I think it's because I'm Asian...but yeah. I am planning on picking up some Half X's though. I know a lot of people don't like the Half X, but I think they're pretty sweet and the larger nose bombs help! It's weird...my Oakley collection first started with just Wireframes. Now I'm all about the O Matter.
Edit: I think the reason my GF doesn't wear her Oakley's as much is because of the Lens. Encounter has the Tortoise with Polarized Bronze, and the Encounter is some sort of black with a grey gradient. She's picky hahaSimilar threads
