Good morning all,
A little background before my question:
When I bought my motorcycle around 2012, I was experimenting with different helmets, and I liked the Wind Jacket sunglasses because of the wind gasket, and the interchangeable lenses (day and night).
Once I decided half helmets are stupid because I care about the lower half of my face, I pivoted to using them as shooting(/safety) glasses. Considering I shoot (maybe) once a year, the glasses are just sitting in my gun bag getting no love.
I considered bringing them back out and repurposing them again for running because of their light weight, but, I realized theses guys are 10 years old, and might be collectable at this point.
So, my questions are:
Are these of any value these days? I see they are not made anymore and the gasket would seem impossible to replace.
Should I not risk marring the frames or lenses up, degrade the earstem rubbers, etc., or potentially lose them?
Any advice would be appreciated. I'm not much of a museum piece guy; I like to wear what I got, but I'm not dumb enough to ruin a minty set of Oaks.
Thanks!
