What strikes me as odd is that lawyers come down hard on a forum dedicated to the brand they represent and accuses the forum of ripping off images for commercial purposes, yet, when a website that flat-out says they produce replicas AND uses Oakleys images AND is blatantly using them for commercial purposes AND gets reported that website is still there.

(sorry for the multiple "AND"s and the judicious use of caps lock but this really winds me when a harmless forum has been targeted in the past and a blatant rip-off gets through the net even when it's pointed out...I'd accuse the legal team of poor judgement...but they'd probably litigate...ooops too late :-) )

I just had another look at the link Jules posted...

half-splice....HALF....SPLICE!?!?!?!?!


I'm going to hurl.....

Half splice! The world is not ready for that yet!
I taste puke in my mouth. LOL

someone needs to take that site down, my eyes are offended and the sheister who owns it owes me lunch...


anyone know any turkish hackers? lol

I don't know any Turkish hackers ;)
But that half splice made me feel pretty diturbed too (actually all that fake glasses made me feel that way). Just some awfull glasses that do not even come close to the looks of a real Oakley. This is just something that might not be possible to be sold. It also takes the name of Oakley down.

Hmm, today I received a white chrome/ +red straight jacket. But I am not totally sure about them, as you can see the pixels almost on the paperwork. It also has a blue sticker on the lens with an H on it. But most of them that I have seen had that sticker on it.

Also the earstems say Straight and Made in U.S.A. And are made of 2 pieces. It is actually only the paperwork that makes me not sure. Any thoughts on this?

H is hydrophobic. Is basically means it repels moisture. As for the arms...they should be two pieces and say straight.

hi all

saw these on ebay-the guy says these are samples, but i cant see any resemblance to released oakleys.
im after some used boots for work and having missed out on a pair or casing boots, these came up, but im not convinced unless someone tells me otherwise.

For that price, it's almost tempting to pick one up :P
