//edit

I lost my other pair of Oakley's (square wire's), first time I've lost a pair in 6 years. Oh well. The square wires were like 175.

Those are 305.

how much... i want one

 

[m3lo]

i like them but that's only my opinion
the real question is do you like them if you want to buy them

 

[neutralizer]

that's nice... but they're expensive

 

[UglyCasanova]

You would need to run some anti alias on them, but yeah they look nice.

i refuse to pay for oakleys. they are decent looking.

$305? Those are way overpriced. I picked up a pair of e-wire 2.0's a few years ago for around $100, and they are worth every penny. However a pair of "similar" shades at three times the price is a little steep.

yeah they're pretty similar

a new pair of ewire square's are ~155

polarized would bump it up to 205 or so

spring hinges option ~220

and the titanium badging on these oakley's add another 85

While we're on the subject of costs, are there any decently-priced, stylish sunglass-makers these days?

 

[AzNmAnJLH]

That's what I'd like to know.

 

[Mo0o]

For 305, not worth it

 

[nan0bug]

If by 'nice' you mean 'overpriced eye-wear for the fashionable label whore', then yeah, they're real nice.

Oakley's aren't about style, they're about utility. I wear Maui Jims for style, and Oakley's for necessity. Both have fantastic lenses, and that's what sun glasses are all about. Lenses make a lot of the expense.

Yeah, but I don't want some drunk to take a swing at me & bust up my expensive shades...that'd just lead to a use of force complaint.

Oakley lenses can survive a shotgun blast. They really do not break easily. Although the O-matter frames are FAR more durable than any of the metallics. I have literally dropped some half jackets 100 ft onto jagged rocks, spent 20 minutes climbing down to find them, and they were just fine. I destroyed the sh!t out of a leather jacket climbing down though, stupid me.

Maybe I should just wear a bunch of sunglasses instead of the kevlar.

 

[nageov3t]

do you plan on wearing them at night?

OK, granting that I'll have to pay out the ass for nice lenses, what would be a good retailer for these expensive name-brand sunglass makers?

I take it the Sunglass Hut is probably not the best place to buy shades.

... a suit of armor made of sunglass lenses? Aside from the fact that it would cost 50x as much as a vest... it would have gaps between the lenses!

See those are the ignorant statements that characterize our nation. :heart:

You're not implying that violent drunks are only out at night, are you? You poor, naive boy.
