The Oakley X-Metal plant is in Dayton, Nevada
Was. Was in Dayton, Nevada.
What I heard from the local O-Store manager and fellow collector, was that it was being shut down due to it being toxic. Not sure what exactly that means, aside of the process produced toxic vapors/waste. He said that it is not possible to manufacture in the sate of California because of their strict environmental rules. He said that the facility was old and needed to be updated, but there were many issues with updating the facility. This is what caused the shutdown.
Not sure how accurate his info is.
Supposedly there is some type of new metal line coming out late spring. Oakley is supposedly changing the look of their stores inside, making it more interactive, at the same time changing up some of the glasses so they do not all look the same. The "X-Metal" line won't be continued, but something is coming out to replace them this year. From a area rep for Oakley
, raw magnesium is explosively combustible if it comes in contact with water.
I was certainly disappointed to hear about the closing of the X Metal line but I have heard there are new flagship models in the works that are killer. These are being done by the best of the best designers at Oakley.

I have a world of respect for JJ and greatly appreciated his hospitality but... I heard a shareholder talking there. I note that his observation was anecdotal: "I have heard..." and not "I've seen..." as well as "these are being done by the best of the best at Oakley". To which I would ask "by the of the best or by the best that are left?".Everyone saw this right? Doesn't that mean there should be something at least like the X Metal line. Ive got my fingers crossed.
