Oakleys Made In USA

[mihaixp]

I have a pair of Fives 4.0 made in USA and also a pair of Flak Jackets also made in USA so I suppose you can count these in too.

Your right Rustpot, I apologize for generalizing like that. You are also right that we are all frustrated. I just don't know how complaining will do any good. Just let your dollars and spending habits do the talking.

It wasn't directed at you, just at people in general over the last few months making remarks.

Yup! They're an Asian Fit pair (so I guess it's fitting that they were made in Asia). They're actually very sweet looking, and the G30 is the perfect lens for this pair. I always thought they were exclusive to Japan...but I found them on Oakley.com for $150. Check out the listing on o-review:

That's awesome! I might have to see if I can get one of those.

I highly recommend them. Pick up a pair next time you're in town. A few stores online carry them, but I've never seen a pair come up for sale on eBay or the exchange section; so you'll probably have to shell out close to MSRP for these bad boys.

Too bad they are Asian Fit. I assume they're flatter than the traditional Flak Jacket?

Any pics?

Pix later today (hopefully). I'm not 100% positive, but once you switch out the nosepads for the smaller size (included), I believe they're exactly the same frame as the standard fit Flak. I swapped lenses between Asian and Standard fit without any issues.

Not all of them. Some of the newest ones to hit stores are only "Assembled in USA."

The best way to figure it out would be to look at the manufacturer date on the package, then from there we could trace when frames were starting to be made in China.

Thank you, I wasn't aware of this.
