Why did Oakley discontinued the Xmetal line or even the repair service?

[happyXwearer]

Was it because it's nearly indestructible and they weren't making money? I have sat on my metals multiple times and never feared they'd break. They could have continued to make money with selling spare parts.

Basically lux bought Oakley out and are to cheap to produce a quality product over profit. A huge culture identity. Plus the factories are shutdown whcih were not friendly to the environment. Several other threads go into more detail.

But why they don’t service them nor sell replacement rubbers or lenses is just plane stupid to me. They can make that fairly cheap and make a large profit.

But then we couldn't sell rubber sets for $200?

I like the irony of labelling something stupid and then spelling the adjective you chose to emphasise it incorrectly

FWIW in this context it's "Plain"

Been saying that for a while now. Suxottica.

In some ways, I'm glad they stopped the services as I learned to fix it myself. So I save in the long run.
