Good thing you aren't buying it because I'm not selling it.

I had a pair of straight jackets, I was enjoying my après ski lunch halfway up the mountain in Val D'saire, when I heard the ting! I leaned forward and the right hand lens fell out and through into a gap in the decking of the cafe.

I had to ride back down to the bottom with one eye lens missing and go get an old pair of sunglasses from the apartment. upon inspection, there was a spherical hollow inside the frame at the point it snapped which was at the very top of the rim, in the center of the right hand lens.

I subsequently returned the glasses to Oakley and they send me a replacement pair. About 6 months later the next summer the replacement pair did the same thing.

I still like the look of them, I have Oakley goggles too, but feel soured by the experience.

Maybe a set of those jaw bone tour de france model can sway me though!
