    Not sure where this belongs really, looking to buy some Oakley's. Anyone have any suggestions? Or know of any "hookups". Looking at either Gascans, Eyepatch, prefer Gascans.. So lets hear it :beer:

    I have a black pair, that I wore for a couple of months, then bought a brown pair that I put perscription lenses in and havent worn the black pair since.

    I recently moved, so i will have to dig them out of a box but I will make you a good deal on them if you are interested.

    I havent seen the flat black, but if those are available those would be sweeeeeet!

    Unless you have a connection or know someone that can get employee pricing through work they're typically not discounted. I've been wearing Monster Dogs for the last few years and really like them. I picked up a pair of Hijinks last weekend. They offer more eye protection and fit my face better. I recommend going to an Oakley retailer and trying on several pair and see what works best for you.

    Oakley's are for the most part price controlled, so wherever you go they are usually within a few dollars of each other. Switchback however has them for 35% I think. You will not find a better deal. Unless you buy them off a buddy of course.

    I have two pairs of Pennys. They both have corrective lenses in them. Honestly, the best place is eBay. Go to a sunglass store and find the one you want. Then compare on eBay. The price difference is huge. My frames were over $300.00 retail. Online you can find them for less than 1/2.

    The public can buy at HQ. I always go there to get new designs and customize. The service/ repair dept is great in working with you on failed components. Keep your receipts! Sales does not cross reference w/ service...don't expect repair to be able to verify purchase dates even though they are next door. It is MSRP.

    There's a retail store in the main lobby (employee store is further down). And the parking lot sale is friends/family of employees only.

    Gascans are available in flat black.

    The Oakley store in foothill is great for repairs, I cracked my M frames on a 24 hour race in February, They replaced my frame for $10.00, Awesome.

    I have purchased oakleys at the oakley store in foothill ranch. It is open to the public, and has a lot of item for sale.
    You can also take sunglassses there for warraanty repair, or just if needed.

    They also have a office for prescription glasses, and clothing in the same area.

    Just enter the lobby, check out the torpedo, and enjoy.

    I have about 5 pairs of Oakleys I will sell.
    Juliet Ducati
    romeos, matt black
    Romeos in polish titanium
    Radars, black with polarized lens
    and a pair I'm not sure of the name, but metal frame, and polariazed.

    If interested, I can send photo and/or link and price. For less than half of MSRP, becasue I bought, but do not wear them afterall.
