Oakley Minute 2's

SiHH · 2 Sep 2010 at 12:16

So party people, there are gazillions of sites selling these bad boys but i'd be interested to know anyone who thinks they got a good deal for a pair. Genuine though not fake ebay parp.

Thanking you

Why Oakley? They all look awful. Typical 'I think I look cool but I really don't' glasses.

They aren't bad looking in my opinion, but I certainly wouldn't spend that amount on them. Genuine articles are going to run £75 (non-polarised) - £120 (polarised) -- too much to spend for something I'm either going to sit on, scratch, or lose completely.

I have a similar pair, can't remember the model though but not quite as thick in the arms.??

They're pretty good in direct strong sunlight, and quite comfy, but they don't fit tightly around the eyes, i.e. in the forehead, so you get the light bleeding in.

I wouldn't buy them again to be honest.

bit too sporty for my liking, if you're not wearing them for sport, you'l look like a doosh, go get some raybans and join all us cool kids...

I got mine from an American Air Force Camp BX for $70 when the exchange rate was better than 1.5 lol.

Ladies I wasn't after a review on the specs, just some decent places to get them from !

DanDan - thanks, I did see that site but wasn't 100% convinced it was legit ?

Just depends what you want from sunglasses mate. I work outside and worn quite a few pairs of sunglasses throughout the years, Oakleys to me (especially minutes) are the most comfy ive ever worn, I really do forget I have them on. Couldnt give a **** if they made me look 'cool' or not.

oakley sunglasses and goggles are amazing, best of the best, I wouldnt be seen on the slopes without them

splices
crowbars
wisdoms
gascans

You had better be a skier. No proper snowboarder would be seen dead on the slops with sunglasses.

I instruct both skiing and snowboarding (was my 13th season this year) , I board with goggles or glasses, all depends on the weather, its function first looks second - quite the opposite of most peoples approach

earwearoutlet.co.uk seem to have some good deals now and then.

their lenses are second to none, superbly functional eyewear, might not tick your boxes for looking good but thats purely horses for courses.

Nice! Oakley A frames for me. Camo with gold lenses.

Worked in Val D'isere for a season a few years back. Still got the itch to do it again. I did the BASI course as well but failed the main one as I had just recovered from a broken ankle and it really hurt.
