What was your first pair of Oakley's?

Yellow blades I bought used from a classmate around 1990...still have them too.

These were my first pair of Oakley, does anyone know what model these are? I purchased them around 1996-1998ish.

Minute 1.0 Gunmetal w/ Iridium Ice - lost to the Himalaya after 6 years (still MINT), replaced yesterday after 15 years. It's basically been my grail since I spanner-ed them into the wilderness. I hope a Nepalese guide at least got good use out of them.

Pewter whiskers with BIP lenses. I wore them for years without a single issue. The first time I dropped them they landed lens down and put a giant scratch in the center of the left lens. Two days later I bought a pair of black badman.

Great shape:

Nice and small collection. I have had a couple other pairs, but they have been passed on to others who will wear them more than I would.

How did you break the Badman? I just avoided doing it to mine but they are a bit too delicate for my liking to be fair. It's what put me off something like the C-Six Aluminium to be honest. I just don't see them lasting the long haul.
