Just go to mexico and hit up the peddlers on the beach.

I scored real oakley gascans for $13US. Quite sure they're stolen, but I do love a good old mexican deal.

Mexico is a real good place to get fake oakleys too. They have so many markets selling nothing but fake oakleys it's crazy. But I'm sure yours are genuine.

I get mine at the Hudson News at the airport. They are 10.00, and if I break them on a trip, I know I can replace them on the way back home.

ha yeah those aren't real. ebay is also a great place to get fake oakleys and real ones for cheap. i've got some custom made oil rigs that i got off ebay for $90 and they sell for around $150 on oakley's site and more in the stores.

I bought some Ironman sunglasses at Walmart for I think $20. They've lasted about a year so far...we'll see how much longer it is before I lose them

I have had 4 pairs of oakleys and I've only ever lost one. I can tell you where the other 3 are sitting right now. Recently I bought a pair of 5.11 Tactical sunglasses that are super comfortable for $60. Plus they put the ANSI rating on them. (I had to have to wear at work)

I've also bought several cheap pair. I can't tell you where one of them are.

Hm...maybe I'll have to look into a pair of Oakleys for my birthday or something. I just cant stand driving without any type of eye shading, the glare reflecting off the white of my hood will drive you insane

I get all my Oakley glasses and boots/gear from usstandardissue.com. That is the Oakley discount website for anyone who is Military/LEO/First Responder. If you don't qualify for that website, IMO even at full price, Oakleys are worth the money. I have 3 pair of glasses and 2 pair of boots from them. No complaints.

I agree with both sides... he's right and he's right - they can't both be right!

I've got a pair of Serengetti Drivers I 've had for years and love them. Likewise a set of limited edition Ray Ban Generals - they're well used but I've seen them selling on ebay for as much as $700 in great condition. Mine aren't but I still love em - though I could sell them for a good price.

Then I keep several cheap pairs around cause I almost can't see in bright sunlight. My eyes close up like little slits. These I usually pick up at the supermarket. Got some the other day for $10 and they're OCC - as in Orange County Choppers. Cool silver frames and blue tint lenses. Right now they're my favorite pair - but you can't go wrong with a pair of really good quality glasses - they're worth the price.

Check out Cabellas they have glasses in a variety of price ranges.

I'm aware there are plenty of fake everything in Mexico.

Matched them up to my buddies gascan's that he bought here for $260. Only difference was his we're polarized. But the marking inside the the frames are identical and the quality is the same. There weren't tags or anything on them when I bought them either. If they're that good at making fakes these days then I really don't care!
