Shoot your self in the face with a shot gun. Apparently Oakleys are supposed to be ballistic proof.
Don't actually do this 😯

No, make sure to aim specifically for the eyes.

This website might be useful

probably more so if you're actually buying in the flesh

Or just squint when the sun is out and save yourself a few quid.

I think genuine Oakleys are bukkake rated so you should be able to test them easy enough.

so, how about £250 on custom ones form an ebay shop with a trader who has 1 star, buy a purdy (again online) and aim both barrels at me eyes....

I think i may go to highland industrial supplies and buy some bolle work shades for £5

i buy mine at ' internet opticians.co.uk'

had a few pairs from him on the custom program , still have both pairs,

the best way to judge if they are fake is if they are cheaper than the above guys prices, price is usually
the best indication as you would have to be an idiot to undercut everyone else by such a large margin,
