Frame: Crystal Black
Lens: BIP

This was the first pair of Oakleys I ever purchased. I got them new in 2006 at a local SGH and was very happy with the them (as a 16 year old, any Oakley is a good Oakley).

A medium sized frame with a pretty good wrap, the Fives 3.0 were a solid modern looking update to the Fives family. Being constructed of the newer blend of O Matter made the frames very light and durable. I was always the envy of my friends who loved the sleek look and HDO optics built into the lenses. They were perfect for driving, snowboarding that one time I went, wearing to the beach and working outside.

Unfortunately my pair came to an untimely end when I left them on a table at a party. They weren’t stolen; even worse. Someone bent the frames inside out and held them in that position for long enough to basically flatten them. Kids can be dicks.

I was lucky to find the same pair about 12 years later! I helped a lady pick out a new pair of shades and she gifted me her old pair. I purchased a new Five Squared and popped the new BIP lens into the old frame and can happily say that they’re back in my collection.

A great frame for everyday use, the Five 3.0 is a great choice for your intro to the Obsession.

Frame: Brown Smoke
Lens: Dark Bronze

A good entry-level Oakley. This incarnation of the Five line incorporates the square-ish lens shape and finned earstems that are so prevalent in Oakley's styling these days. It is lightweight and stylish without being too radical.

Unfortunately, the nosebridge area is rather thin, so these sit very close to my face, and the bottoms of the orbitals tend to sit on my cheeks. Nothing unbearable, but I can't wear these for long periods of time. This is mainly due to my Asian nose, although other O-Matter frames do have thicker nosebridges that fit better. Also, the earstems have very little curvature, so grip is minimal, especially if you put your glasses on top of your head when you go indoors.

The Brown Smoke frame is yet another nice crystal O-Matter color. I like this variation of brown much more than some of the others such as Polished Rootbeer or Dark Amber. The Dark Bronze lens is a good basic tint for folks that enjoy increased contrast.

Frame: Cider Red
Lens: Bronze
I got these as a pair for my girlfriend a while ago. They were we first pair and she fell in love with them (they were custom). They're still her favorite pair (even after her using the SI Flaks and Pockets). They're a great active pair for a casual day out with friends. Nice basic introductory pair!

Frame: Dark Grey
Lens: Emerald Iridium (Custom)

Wow these look just like X-Metals! Even though it's O-Matter the Dark Grey frame looks just like real X-Metal! I purchased these via Ebay from a Top Australian seller, who gave unbeatable service! The Dark grey Frame really works with the Emerald Iridium lenses! The view through the base is super clear and soothing!. The Emerald Iridium coating looks oh so cool with the metalic frames! They are very comfortable too! IMHO it's the best genuine Oakley custom I've ever owned! These are my specials!
