That's ridiculous.

There should be that apostrophe in Oakleys.

Dunno, but when the rubbers wear out after less than 12 months they'll be ripping the people off who bought them for extortionate sums to replace them!

My new Radars are pants, can you tell I'm not a happy bunny with their "legendary" customer service!

My nose bridge falls off all the time and the ear pieces have gone all sticky and gunky! I had M frames previously and they lasted way way better!

Covetous and bitter peasants the lot of you - just be happy with the DeWalt’s you’ve nicked from work and stop whining about what you can’t have ... bloody proletariat. 🙂

They appear to be inspired by fast motor racing vehicles. Maybe motorsports folk is their target market for these glasses? In which case, there'll be plenty of low hanging fruit.

Those Oakleys make an Orange Alpine 160 look like good value

You get free delivery though - can't argue with that! It makes them almost worth having 😕

I think the clue as to who will buy them is in their own advertising spiel

Do you also have to have your face/head machined to 0.002" to ensure a decent fit?

Oakley have completely lost the plot. Time for someone new to take their place IMO.

Oakley do have plenty of more restrained styles in their range:
