One fashion thing I do want...

[the funkmaster]

Oakley overtops. Wubbly things. Are they made anymore?

[spl@t]

Yep, well they are still listed on the site. Although the site where I usually get my Oakley gear doesn't appear to have them - http://www.geared-up.co.uk/acatalog/index.html

Their new range of sunglasses, the Oakley Thumps have mp3 players built into them with either 128Mb or 256Mb of storage. Quite tempted to get a pair but can't really justify them atm.

Think my next purchase will be the Mag Ms, best riding glasses around.

[blurr]

fookin hell :o dunno if I'd wear them round the city though :)

[the funkmaster]

They look amazing. A bit pricey, but they're on my purchase list :)

[Q-Target]

Mine too and I look shite in Oakleys

[Liono]

Yup.. Oakleys gotta be had. Heads totally the wrong shape but im going for them anyway. Huzzah.

[[!$$ueS]]

Oakleys are unfashionable, my Mum wears them and she's nearly 50.

[blurr]

if you wear them for 'sports' thats fair enough and you can pull it off as its cool... walking around town or inside shops with them on your head or on... is just sad to be honest.

[Q-Target]

Question: Unless, you're Brent Rivienne, why would you wear them anywhere other than outside when it's sunny?

[Liono]

Dont think you would...

[the funkmaster]

I would, if they would fit on my hair :F

[[!$$ueS]]

She wears them for mountain biking, and driving. So i'll let her off ;)

[Sysagent]

Oh........

My........

God........

I...........

Have........

To............

Get............

Some.............

[Q-Target]

Yes sys - that was my immediate thought...BUT and my housemate, Chris (an Oakleys whore himself), pointed this one out: when would you wear them and in what situations? Clearly while out having a ride, but other than that, when? Not on the train, not in the rain, not indoors...kind of limits their practicality. As Chris pointed out, they'd be much better if they were sold as a detachable extra which you could attach to any set of existing oakleys rather than forming part of the frame of a whole new range.

[the funkmaster]

Out clubbing? :) When I saw Parliament Funkadelic in Stockholm a few months back, Billy Bass had them. Looked awesome.

[Q-Target]

"awesome" in a "doesn't Brent Rivienne look awesome in his avatar" way or something else?

[the funkmaster]

Awesome as in more than fifty year old black man with not a bit but a lot of a tummy looking awesome way.

[Q-Target]

Well...taking the literal meaning of awesome...yes.

Took me a while to pick a pair of Oakleys that looked decent on me, but I decided on these..

Oakley Half Jackets, I paid £88 for mine.
They look ok, as they're quite tight on my face .. not too bulky...

I wub my Oakley's - as I don't like flying, my dad promised me that if I went with them to America he would buy me some, and true to his word he did, respect. \o/

[ProfLiebstrom]

pfft damn. i need to get some sunglasses really when its sunny......but because of these damn real glasses i cant get any decent ones like you fancy peopole with your oakleys and i have to get crappy ones from the opticians

[tinx]

You can get some pretty cool frames with sunglass lenses in them matey, perhaps have a chat with your optitian and look at the options?

[spl@t]

Oakley do prescription eyewear afaik.
