Quite fancy some nice Oakley's for my upcoming skiing holiday. Does anybody know of a good online outlet for them or know whether the are cheaper to buy in the States?

I got my Oakley juilets with fiery effect lenses (needed prescription lenses as where glass, which mean a special order over here 
) for about £250 which was a massive saving compared to uk prices i was being quoted.
I did a search on the oakley site for retailers in the area then when i got there went round them to haggle the best deal
there the same as these but with the plasma lenses :-

I was in exactly the same predicament last year. I ended up buying a pair of Titanium coloured Full Metal Jackets in Florida for $130 approx £90. Same cost £130 over here. You will find that the prices are fixed by Oakley everywhere in the States. You could try www.oakley.com .Hope this helps Mal

I had real probs trying to do this, if its anywhere in the uk they have to go to uk headoffice who send them over to usa to get done anyway then charge an arm and a leg for it.
best bet is to find somewhere and email them and ask.
It still took two weeks when i was in the states for my lenses as two sets came through damaged!

I tried to buy some online from the States in summer '00, cant remember the site I was using, just found by searching.
Would have made a significant saving on Oakley Minutes but the company said they were unable to take orders from the UK as Oakley had told them not to.
Ended up buying them at full whack on the high street.
Hope you find a good deal.
