Any members STOP buying Oakley after purchasing an M-Experiment?

[SMman]

Long time Oakley collector who has recently jumped back into the forum after a few years (5 or 6?) away. My kids both love Oakley sunglasses, clothing, etc. so I typically do most of my Christmas shopping for them on Oakley Canada. I have noticed a steady decline in Oakley customer service which is sad.

I have been following the M-Experiment models and additions but have not pulled the trigger yet. My first impression when seeing the M.E. models was, they are nice, but it wasn't enough to lure me away from continuing to buy Oakleys as gifts.

I have warmed up to the M.E. models more after looking but the only one that really appeals to me is the Business, which I plan to order this evening as my 1st pair. I recently had a chat an online chat with Mario on the M.E. site and the customer service was head and shoulders above Oakley. He took the time to answer my questions and give opinions when I asked. He even sent me a link to a post on here.

Long story long, anyone give up buying Oakleys after buying M-Experiment?

I still buy both. I focus mainly on M Ex lately, but still enjoy some of Oakley’s products, not just sunglasses.

Yes CS is way, way better. Mario is awesome.

I only own a very small number of M-E pieces compared to my Oakley collection, but they’re absolutely stunning.

Especially Jigawatt.
I definitely plan to keep expanding my M-E lineup going forward.

Seeing what they’ve been doing lately, their customer-friendly attitude — and especially the respect they show to loyal customers — is truly top-tier.

I’m certain that someday their early models will become true grails.

A lot of members here enjoy both brands

I buy both. I do like the clothes from Oakleys, but you need to buy when they are on sale and please use the fitting room at the Vaults.

Oakley golden age nope, SOAKLEYS definitely yes

In the last couple of months i've bought 6 new MX frames and 2 lenses, and only 1 new Oakley pair. 2 if my BD SJ's order comes through. I've maybe bought some vintage Oakley stuff.

I tried a couple of models of M-Ex, enjoyed them while I had them. The Jiggawatts were nice. Wanted a pair of Oakleys and didn’t have funds so I sold them and then got blasted by a member and called all sorts of names for selling them and then lost interest totally in the them after that.

Maybe I’ll come back but I love X-Metals, Plantaris and Katos too much

I love and do not regret my purchases of Oakley apparel and sunglasses over the years

Oakley still is full of surprises, but clearly out pricing any mere mortals average wage and ability to obtain some of the remakes of the great days past and in super scarce limited quantity

Will still purchase Oakley Products, but more of my focus is on the M Experiment Brand.

Customer service is truly remarkable and cannot fault their willingness to work with you to rectify issues or concerns.

Look forward to having a long and fruitful relationship with these guys and seeing what is coming through the pipeline in the future

Pretty much stopped with new Oakley. Their new glasses I am not a fan of. Have purchased some new colorways of old models, like some of the special edition Holbrooks or some of the SI collections.
