The real question is who actually made the lenses. I can get local guys to make passable lenses, but to get the quality of Oakley is so much more expensive than getting it from Oakley and adding 50%. All told my end user price would be around $250-$300) Maybe volume one day will change that but as of now Oakley. Yes it would cost double to duplicate any Oakley lens exactly.
Not arguing with that at all. I buy Oakley lenses if the color I want is there. They don't make all colors for all frames so sometimes you have to go elsewhere.
