?Buy a clue? deals on Oakley Ballistic Shades?

The place for general talk about gun, shooting, loading, camping, survival, and preparedness related tools and gear, as well as gear technology discussion, gear reviews, and gear specific "range reports" (all other types of gear should be on the back porch).

FIFY ;)

But yeah, I generally wear S&W Magnum indoor/outdoor glasses, unless I am running the crane during mid-day. Then I wear the grey smoke S&Ws.

My point is that Oakleys are ridiculously overpriced.

I have worn Oakley prescription glasses both in sunglasses and regular glasses for probably about 6-8 years now... The same pairs... And the only thing I have had to do was get new lenses as my prescription changes... Cheaper glasses have flat worn out in less time for me...

Thanks but I will pay the money for a pair that does not experience metal fatigue or wearing out...
