New guy here,
Found this forum when researching Oakley frame size for large heads.
Lots of great info and guides here. Thanks

Hi guys, new person here from Austin, TX. I only own one pair of Oakleys, they are X-metal Juliet titanium black frames with black, shiny RX lenses. They are the only pair of sunglasses I have ever worn since purchase in '08, and I hope I never have to stop wearing them. I was approached at a brewery by a fellow Juliet wearer and he directed me to this forum, so here I am. I hope to find someone that can replace my RX lenses and continue to be a wearer of these fine sunglasses. I still wear them, but the differences in prescriptions are starting to get to me.
On a side note, I went to the eye doctor today and was trying to find a new pair of Oakleys I liked. I found none. I had no idea the Oakley product had become...what it is today. Just cheap, plastic frames at the same prices. The guy helping me said something about a buyout a few years ago. Anyways, nice to be here and looking forward to learning more about mine and the other older frames.

Hello all!!! I’m an Oakley guy from waaay back. I live in the Knoxville TN area and Oakley M frames got me through playing college baseball and Radar XL’s have gotten me through the last 6 years of coaching high school baseball. That’s what brought me here. My XL’s have bitten the dust and can’t find any more replacements so they just became my lucky coaching glasses (on my hat). When I’m not on the field I’m rocking my batwolfs (which I absolutely love.).

that’s why I’m here though to hopefully find some radar xl lenses, or to get some new ideas!! I love the new encoders but not having interchangeable lenses is a big option especially for the price. I’ve thought about the Sutros or M2’s, but really like the the coverage of the xl’s. Looks like I will have to look at some pages and hit up my local suppliers!! I’m looking forward to the forum!!

I forgot to post an intro when I joined a month or two ago, but better late than never. I live in Montana and I’ve been wearing Radars and Flaks for years as a high school and collegiate track and cross country runner. Recently I became interested in some of the older Oakley’s and I got a Splice, Scar, Racing Jacket, and Jawbone. I mainly use them for running and biking but I want to venture into the x-metals eventually for regular use.

Just updated my profile pic so you can see my pair of Juliets. Here is my love song dedicated to these sunglasses:

Bought these in 2008 and never stopped wearing them. I have a low tolerance for light, and combined with my RX, polarization, and the peripheral coverage, these give me what I feel is perfect vision with extremely comfortable frames. They absolutely saved my left eye once when a piece of equipment I was working on got stuck and then suddenly freed itself and shot a steel rod directly at my eye. The lens got severely scratched but didn't shatter and my eye was unscathed.

Thanks to this forum, I hope I can continue to renew my lenses as needed and wear them forever. Thank you.
