the above, thinking of buying some just before the summer weather kicks in and i'm needing a new set of shades.

whoops, wrong heading, should be oakley half wires instead of wire taps, doh!

Oakleys are my favs, i currently have 'X metal xxx gold' and the recent Oakley Thumps, both great.
Can;t recommend them highly enough.

Alas

Agree - sell my old ones each year and get another pair. Looking for Juliets this year

Heading sorted for you

what a nice moderator

I have been wearing oakleys for about 5 years or so. Everytime on holiday I generally have this conversation about 5 times:

Cheapskate: How on earth can you justify £300 on a pair of shades?

Me: Do you want to try them?

Cheapskate: Woooow these are brilliant, you can actually see clearly through them, no glare.............etc

Me: yup, you get what you pay for.


I have manged to convert most of my family to the need for good sunglasses, now they all want them for xmas/birthday presents

was looking at some juliets also but they just seem a bit OTT, half wires seem the nicest things after them and a bit cheaper.

Krade

was looking for a pair of Vlave

in the Silver and Blue average price of £80 anyone know anywhere really cheap for Oakley's??

I have a pair of prescription Juliet X-metals (plasma with fire lenses). They were £365 but I must have wasted more than that on crap prescription sunglasses over the years.

i bought oakleys two years ago prescription ones plus they got a little logo on one of the lenses is that common?

cost me 365 quid but well worth the money look great two years on

all i need now is more hair to look younger lol

carl

Dunno, but mine have them too. Only problem is that you can only get them if your prescription is weaker than -4. Fortunately mine's -3.5, but for those who are even blinder than me then they're not an option

i bought sum sunglasses from ebay simply because i liked the shape and colour of them, they were sold as designer glasses

when they arrived they were made with plastic frames (titianiam it said on the advert, must have meant the colour ) felt really crap to hold, but still looked half decent

showed my mate and he told me they were oakley copies, exactly the same as them x-metal ones above but the lens is a flippy blue colour.

keep meaning to have a look at sum proper ones....

I have a set of half wires, non prescription, excellent light sturdy and understated, Some of the Oakleys are OTT. Also not ridiculously (sp) expensive.

So I like them!
