Top 5 O Matter Oakleys

[Oak Heel]

As per usual I'm late to the party.........good to see a fellow HJ1 enthusiast.

My list based on what I currently own......in order

1. Fives 4+1 (not the new one's with the rubbahs)
2. Fives 3.0
3. Half Jackets 1.0
4. Flak 1.0
5. Fives 4.0

Honorable mention (pair I don't have I would like to get one day that could make the top 5 list)
1. Plate
2. Splice
3. Scar

Great choices! Have you ever tried a first gen valve? It’s another smallish frame with the old school Oakley styling that you might like.

Thanks....I know....

No on the Valves......I really try to steer clear of older frames that you can't find rubber kits for. Is there a compatible nose pad from another model that works with Valve's? If yes I might put these on my watch list

I used Flak Jacket nose bombs and they worked. Not ideal, but a decent sub. Half X and Ice Pick nose bombs work too, though the latter is impossible to find

@Linegear Japan penny nose bombs seem to work for everything too

Yep, Flak nosebombs work. They push the frame a bit further away your nose vs the OEM nosebombs, but it works. I actually prefer mine with the Flak bombs since it keeps the top of the frame off my eyebrows.
