I don't know how much truth to this story I was told at my local Oakley outlet store why these glasses are not being made....for a while if it's true. I was told: The frames have a small amount of magnesium in them to help with how they make them so stiff and is a non issue after made. When raw magnesium comes in contact with water it has a reaction. From what I was told some how water vapor or water got in to the storage of magnesium used and blew a tow motor threw a wall and hurt a worker. After that the state of CA said magnesium can not be used any more in any way to make some thing like this with out major safety. Oakley pulled the plug on making them in CA plant and is moving the plant to NV and should if not all ready be making them again.
