Introduce Yourself!

[chickenpoodle]

Good morning, afternoon, and evening to everyone.

I've lurked around the forums here for a long time. But I saw a post just today and felt it warranted a response due to how close to home it hit (eye injury during racquet sports).

Anyway, I used M-Frames for a solid 15 years or so. Had a few frames, and a whole bunch of lenses.
Eventually figured it was time to switch to something newer when sourcing lenses got too difficult, and more time than it was worth.
Moved onto a couple pairs of Flak 2.0's, Radar EV's, and recently picked up a Sutro Lite for fun.
Suppose it doesn't need to be said I seem to gravitate towards the half rimmed models more than the others.

I've seen the custom oakley threads on here, and just really appreciated the amount of effort and work that you all have put into these products. Far more than the brand-itself it seems, most of the time.

Cheers!

Hello everyone.

I am from Minnesota, USA and have really enjoyed acquiring Oakley's over the years. To think buying a single pair of Juliet's so long ago would have led to this... lol.

Anyways, I look forward to learning and talking with you all in the future. Lastly, I just got a best up pair of square wire 2.0's so I'll be searching through and learning how to fix them up if anyone wants to help guide me.

Welcome!!!

Hey there all from the Space Coast of Florida. I've got myself a pair of RX Flak Jacket XLJs I bought in 2016, and somehow they are still in amazing shape. Best prescription glasses I've ever had, joined this forum as I'm getting ready to get another pair (Likely Flak 2.0 XLs) along with replacing my normal RX glasses with Oakleys (I want those Prizm Gaming lenses)
