    Favorite Lens Tint

    Obviously depends on the situation. but: VR28 black iridum for every day use. Permission for shooting G30 for cloudy/rainy days Blue Iridium for looks, and still keeps the VR28 contrast lens I love. Just my .02 from trying on friends oakleys. Ironically I only own black iridum, g30 and...

    Fast Jacket, Thoughts?

    Thanks man. So they do in fact just look black from a distance, and a subtle carbon fiberish type look when close? I wish they were more pronounced like the website. Subtle/all black look makes me want to swing toward a pair of silver blue iridum/jade iridiums, and maybe a custom sky blue/red...

    Fast Jacket, Thoughts?

    That's what Oakley has been telling me since the second week they were released, lol.

    Fast Jacket, Thoughts?

    Can you take a pic? There haven't been any around here at ALL. I've been curious if they look distinct and plaid (which is what I want) in person, or if its a subtle carbon fiber look.

    Fast Jacket, Thoughts?

    How so? I'm a bigger guy, but I am very active. I don't seem to feel that way about them? As I said before, I think it's a larger face thing. The grips getting better with sweat certainly helps too I think.

    Fast Jacket, Thoughts?

    I love mine, but I have a bigger face. Flaks and half jackets are a little too small for me. They tend to fog up when I am sweaty and it is humid outside, but I'm guessing pretty much anything will (and that's also a personal fit/face thing too). They don't put any pressure anywhere on my...

    X Squared Newb Questions

    Hey guys, I had a question about X squared glasses. I am thinking about a second pair of "every day" glasses to keep nicer than my work pair. I really like the X squared, but have a few questions. First, it doesn't appear that they say "oakley" anywhere on them. I love the way they fit...

    Planning On Making First Purchase - Advice And Thoughts Welcomed

    The Oakley store will actually have a display case with large samples of different lens tints in there. "Neutral" or grey based lens's cut down brightness, but also cut down on the amount of every color in the spectrum coming into your eye and for some people things can look dulled down or...

    Chroming Sunnies

    I would LOVE to have my Fast Jacket's chromed! That would be friggen AWESOME! But, I don't think it would work without dismantling the lens locking mechanism etc and I am not comfortable doing that :( Too many moving parts going on.

    Planning On Making First Purchase - Advice And Thoughts Welcomed

    Every person is different, especially in regards to vision and what works. I have a job that is VERY dependent on vision, having the right light around you etc BUT I also feel the need to have my eyes protected while working. I also cannot use Polarized lenses because of this. Polarized...

    Found Jumpiter Camo Frogskins And Jawbone

    I'm not big on the frogskins, don't really like em that much. But, obviously some of you all do :) I'm not sure how hard they are to get, but when I was in the Oakley store this past weekend I noticed they had a set of Jupiter Camo Frogskins and a pair of Jupiter Camo Jawbones on display for...

    Jacked Up My Fast Jacket Lenses..

    The CS guy promised they would ship tomorrow, and be here next week. That gives me time to get used to the lenses before the competition, so I just went ahead and did it. Although, I never did get an email receipt. They certainly charged my bank card though.. We will see what happens, or if...

    Jacked Up My Fast Jacket Lenses..

    That's what I thought too. The customer service lady said it should be around $45-55, then when I was transferred to the guy that actually paid for the lenses (i'm assuming in the sales department) he said "I know you were quoted $45, but it's actually going to be $85 plus tax. Is that going...

    Jacked Up My Fast Jacket Lenses..

    Just an update. Called Oakley this morning and got the same story. Busy season, new glasses, lots of stuff back ordered, can't get em etc etc. I didn't get nasty with the poor girl, I know she was just a customer service lady, but I did explain nicely that I didn't pay $240 for replaceable...

    Jacked Up My Fast Jacket Lenses..

    I like the permissions, they just aren't enough on real bright days. Need something in between the black iridium and the permissions. Flaks and half jackets are too small for my big ole head :cool:
