Some loser who lasted about 8 minutes. I think it was actually Marky Mark.

I don't like the first gen. Wiretap (flat sides and Q-tip stems) at all. I'd much rather get a Zero L.

I saw three of these 1st gen. Wiretaps on display in the same cabinet. The arm/orbital connection was already defective on all three. Ugh.

How are the Wiretap's now? I've never seen them in person but a friend of mine was considering buying a pair. So I'd like to give him a heads up.

The current generation is actually very nice; I'm sure people here who own a pair will agree. They were overhauled pretty early on.

The first Wiretaps had a cool look but seemed soooo flimsy. & speaking of flimsy, I love the way the OO's look! Sure the earstems bend if you turn your head wrong but is that any reason to fault them. The Zero L's. I hate the way they look but I still desparately want a pair to customize!

I take exception to the Blade watch review I haven't had any problems and I have worn mine since last August. I had a pair of prescription wiretaps before laser eye surgery. My wife & other women hated them but guys liked them???

Speaking of RX, will Oakley put regular lenses in an RX frame if it's a frame that comes in both regular & RX?

Actually what I need to know is, can Oakley put regular lenses in RX frames if that particular frame is available in both standard & RX?

I Like the OO line. I believe the OO's started the RX line that they have currently.

As far as worst, I would have to day first generation Eye jackets. I snapped two earstems and the frame itself.

Has to be the Thirteen Twenty race shoes...I have broken 2 pairs of them in about 2 days time. The eyelets snap if you look at them funny. Sent the first pair back as warranty after the second time I wore them. Broke the second pair the first time I put them on. Now they just sit in the closet.

I find that the Coil Over shoes go to sh*t real fast too. It's like they can't handle everyday use without falling apart. I think the earlier model shoes(Flesh, Nail, Teeth, Pit Shoe & Boot) were built to last. I've had my Flesh Nets for 4 years and they're still holding together, and they've seen it all.

Yeah my black Flesh have been with me 4 years doing everything and I am actually surprised they are still in tact. They are extremley tough and I would like to buy a brand new pair but since Oakley discontinued them, I can't.

I agree Ford - I have Flesh that have been through hell...twice...and still solid. All the shoes I have bought have been iron - I hate to hear they have been degraded.

The whole OO line was a total let down. Oakleys first stab at the RX line was a miss.

The EyeJacket 2.0 was rather dumb. I could argue that the 3.0 had the same flop, but I used to love wearing my FMJ/Ice ones just to have something other than the 1/2 Jacket in the same colorway.

TrenchCoat was a cool frame but never took off. I think it gave people a larger frame but was almost TOO large.

I think the Riddle may quickly get added to this list. IT IS TOO BIG. Made for females really, they should have scaled it down maybe 5mm-10mm to make it more appealing all around.

The WireTap/HAYWIRE- may also be listed on here. What a terrible piece.
