What Oakley?


What are Oakleys good at? Advertising!
I couldnt find the exact poster/ad on google but I was sold on Oakley since young. I loved biking as well which could have explained it. I still remember the poster vivdly. Anyway, the ad went something like this... it had the sun in the foreground with its rays reaching Earth. And awaiting it was a pair of Oakley Sunglasses with the caption... the suns rays has travelled XxxXXx miles to reach Earth. Its a long way to come to be rejected. Now was that good or not.

But its come to a point whereby Oakleys are just getting plain expensive. While it is quality, they seems to be much more selection out there which are just as good (and cheaper).


Take smoke, sand, and fire--whip it into a frenzy with whirling chopper blades, or fierce winds. Now you have an idea of the environment Wiley X set out to conquer with the Climate Control™ Series (C.C.S.). This eyewear selection can't be beat when it comes to fast paced action and the need to seal off your eyes from outside elements. C.C.S. technology is as determined and tenacious as the men and women who wear them. All Climate Control™ styles exceed High Velocity ANSI impact standards
