Anyone actually wear their OTT Over the Top's?

[OakleyFreak]

The OTT is more an X-Metal IMO than anything from aesthetic, Mad Science perspective. I've generally found metal guys are more likely than others to own OTT's because it takes a similar mindset to wear an OTT as it does to wear metals. But thats just the way my weird brain works :0p

Thats cool
Im an opposite side brain
I dont feel they are X metals
But I also dont feel Madmen and Badmen are X metals either.

Lets just agree to disagree
But Oh read my sig please, it can be enlightening

Is that straight from Oakley marketing? Either way "compound" may not be correct if the pure metal was used for any of the five. Titanium isn't a compound, for instance.

Or maybe I should just change it to

X-Metal (Live it Learn it)
Five metals combined together at 3000 degrees to form a 3-D hypoallergenic sculpted alloy frame. Mainly Titanium.

Yeah, I like the "5 metals combined" version personally.

Although that does slightly put me in mind of something like:

Titanium!
Tungsten!
Aluminium!
Something!
Something else!

By our powers combined, we are x-metal!

your gonna make me go look on O review now

Oakley marketing actually uses the word "compounds" in its description such as in the XX X-Metal.....
Explosive compounds are vaporized at 3600°F to produce the latest addition to the ranks of X METAL®.

That's definitely marketing guff. Titanium boils at 6000F, it's dioxide at 5300F and aluminium at 4500F. None of the major ingredients are being "vaporised" at 3600F.

 

[kronin323]

I believe magnesium is one of the five. Don't know about tungsten.

Yeah, I was just putting elements in at random. I don't think tungsten is one of the five, but I suspect aluminium actually is.
