I agree with Bong that I don't think they'd fit me, but we'll have to see. Also, I think Dan's idea for a circuit board print or a rust/desert camo color would be cool, but I also agree with O.T.T. that the earstems are awesome, but the face is weak. It seems like Oakley has just given up on the front of glasses lately, and new styles are primarily defined by earstems. The front of these reminds me a lot of the front of the Monte Frio.

Actually, the only thing I don't like about them is the arms. Something about that gap bothers me. They should have either continued the thickness through that space or totally deleted the second flare out. I think it will look retarded on someones head.

The front really is blah and basic. Think Arnette. It even looks just a little too Revo circa 1998 to me. It's no wonder the stems are overdone.

When I showed it to my manager at SGH, her only thought was the second flare resting on someones ears. They just look too far back.

i think she pinpointed it correctly

They looked normal on JJ.

Maybe the Oil Drum works like Legos ... I can stack 2-3 on top of each other by interlocking the earstems?!?

They must have wanted to improve on the Oakley Head on the front page.

I got a UK release date of February 1st 2006 (same as the spike)

cinder red...but what's with that price, did they forget the polarized part, or are we paying a premium for Lil Jon again?

Those are high prices for a 'frogskin' frame anyway. Weird.

Whoa, that price is a bit more than I was told.

And another reason I won't be buying it.

Mike, if you don't get em you won't be a true playa. You don't want to have to deal with that kind of stress do you? j/k

When ya put it like that Ob....what can a man say.

How can you resist looking like this:

I am excited to see this one....lookin' pretty cool.....HAS to be better than the last few designs....hopefully it won't be Spike-wrenchingly horrible....

Mike,I'm lovin what youve done to your hair.
You look so classy.....

All Mike needs is an oakley afro pick and he's good to go.

gotta be a typo right? its more expensive than amber black polar option.

i like the sound of the brown smoke too.

Phil, the Cinder Dog wasn't that much of a premium over the rest right. I understand maybe $10 like an FMJ coat has or something.

No. it was considered a standard colorway like any paint app.

I just looked at the price there. That's a nasty jump and/or a hard typo to make.

the rest is grey / bronze , non iridium ??

hasn't everything lately

sad but true :-(
