Have been going through a no-purchases phase (apart from the bike obviously!) so to redress the balance I got some more Oakleys today! Yes it’s true, I can’t remember how many pairs I’ve got so I think I’m going to catalogue them
From memory I’ve got:
- Oakley Frogskins (grey with red lenses) – very 80s; not cool at all.
- Oakley Zeros (grey with black lenses); these were cool for skiing at the time (like 1998 BUSC holidays etc) but are a bit big now. Did wear them last year for some skiing though and they were nice
- Oakley E-Wires (pewter with black lenses) – donated by Steve; again, cool at the time but they almost seem like John Lennon efforts now!
- Oakley Square Wires 2.0 (silver with fire lenses) – bought in Val Thorens in January 2002, destroyed biking July 2002! Lenses are still intact though
- Oakley Square Wires 2.0 (silver with fire lenses) – insurance replacement for the above; I love these glasses, really cool, very showy!
- Oakley M-Frames (red with orange heater lens and black heater lens) – bought for eye safety; worn for cycling, can’t beat them for eye coverage
- Oakley Wisdom goggles (orange with purple lens) – the ultimate in ski goggles; found a minor scratch on my smiths, obviously needed some really expensive Oakley replacements!
- Oakley M-Frames (silver with fire hybrid lens) – Needed something more posey than the other M-Frames but still good for eye safety; Very cool, good eye safety; certainly enough for skiing and biking in good weather
- Oakley Fives 2.0 (tortoise shell with gold lenses) – These are the ones I bought today in an effort to be less over the top!; Tried Steve’s similar ones before and loved them so I got a pair for myself!
Oh my gosh so I’ve got 9 1/2 pairs! Maybe that’s a bit excessive!!! Might be interesting to catalogue the Salomon collection next… (watch this space)
