Discounts for Military, Police, Fire/EMT, Pro-Force, etc.
I've got Straight Jackets, Fives Squared, and Gascans from Standard Issue, 1 Oil Rig, and 2 pairs of Mister Potato Head Oakleys (Oil Rig and Monster Pup).
Mister Potato Head Oakley's can be some decent deals...Its essentially when oakley has leftover frames and leftover lenses they combine and sell to move inventory.
2 years ago...I refused to buy anything more that Ironman's from Target. Funny how things change... |

I disagree on the polarized thing. I'm not on the water or in heavy snow/white out conditions and I find the polarized lenses mess with my depth perception which really screws me up when I golf. | What color lens? | |

| Nothing better than what Oakley offers, one of the few brands I'm loyal too and trust my eyesight to. | |

| There are only so many frame manufacturers so don't think each highline brands makes their own frames. Luxottica is the worlds largest frame manufacturer and they own Oakley as well as RayBan and a host of other brands. House Brands | |

| I definitely prefer polarized - the only problem is that they obscure LCD displays. Also, I have some tint on my truck and the polarized and tint together creates a little rainbow effect.
On the positive side, the glare reduction is essential - especially in one car where the dash reflects badly in the windshield.

I mostly wear the emerald iridium lenses in my customized minute 2.0s and have no issues. it's not worth it to me to buy a golf specific pair. | |
