Would you kindly do a review of Oakley x-metal halfX, and how it compared with Flak Jacket XLJ in terms of fit and dimension? Thanx
PS: also expecting for your review of Badman. cheers
I was planning on buying these until I found out Oakley does not make replacement lenses for them so if you scratch the lenses, your out upwards of $240. I’ll pass
Oakley have shot themselves in the foot with their discontinuing the old style wiretap and juliet models.Fuck you Oakley!
Is it possible to replace the lenses easily by hand? Thanks!!!
this model looks like more of the xmetal half x….
Great review bro, I was almost sold at metal flak jacket as you described but def dont like heavy. Maybe I”ll opt for the Oakley Square Wire instead
The original Wiretap was interesting. They couldn’t decide what to do with the nose pieces, so there was a Mars style ‘stub’, then some hard rubber pads on stems, then finally the clear pads like the other wires.
This is cool looking sunglass. I wish there were more options on the oakley site at the moment.
