How about those literal over-the-top glasses they came up with.....urgh.

Flagwear if done right can be really cool, but that weren't it. I didn't know Operator was American.
I remember the Oakley rep giving the new designs to bike couriers in Mtl for a couple years in the 80's, was like being sponsored.
That's where I got my M-frames. I suppose it worked, as it seems Oakleys are the glasses to wear, despite scratch and cost difficulties.

I'm such a stickler for optics, colour shift and contrasts in varied light conditions. I balked at getting all the replacement lenses.
