Hey All.

I'm relatively new to the Oakley world. In the 90s I really liked the style, but knew I'd lose or break a pair, so never really thought about getting some. In 2003 I saw some of the original X Metal Romeo's at an Oakley pop-up in San Diego and was blown away. Still, they were way out of my price range.

A few years ago, I bought some knock off Juliets to see if it was something I'd be interested in. Then I dipped my toes into the water with some Flak Jackets, and then some Half Jackets. A few months ago I stumbled on some Romeo 2s complete with vault that I couldn't pass up, and finally have my X Metals. I still think I like the Juliet style the best, but the Romeo 2s are fantastic (except for parts availability!!).

Unless something happens, I think I'm set for the frames I have. I'm hoping to have a few decades between the three pairs I have. My use is pretty pedestrian - driving, running, biking, shooting. As a later-in-life sunglass wearer, I'm happy to have found several frames that fit well and look awesome.

Anyway, happy to be here.
