Looks good man!

How do you like the amethyst pair? - yelkao

Great colorway. Love these frames and looking to get more of them soon.
- Dullisc

Cool! I agree - I love them and I don't even have a pair yet. I think it's my favorite frame so far.

Welcome!

It's just a waiting game.
All that stuff will be half price in 6 months (and will still be outrageously expensive). Nobody's probably buying at full price. - BiGCoB

True. It's the best thing to do to save some cash. Unfortunately though in North America stuff like this seems more difficult to find other places rather than oakley.com. In my experience though if you do find it the sizes are limited and you have to order it online from a store overseas somewhere. Which is hit or miss with the shipping fees. Right now the tariffs are killing that. I bought something off of ebay recently. It was $15. I forgot all about the tariffs. After I committed to buy it I remembered and tried to find out how much the tariff would be on my $15 item. I didn't get any solid/specific info. Maybe I didn't try hard enough to find out. I kept thinking how bad could it be? I got a message from UPS saying the "import" fee was $30. I friggin paid $50 for a $15 item. The item retailed for $30 but I got it for $15 ($20 with the seller's shipping fee) - so I paid the seller's shipping fee and import fees. So much for trying to save a few bucks. The bright side is it wasn't easy to find - so at least I was able to track one down and purchase it.

I picked up the ghost and the amethyst pair - MicahS

Let me know what you think of them. I’m looking at those two plus the Amber. But definitely interested in the Ghost pair. Been thinking about getting a Ghost frame ever since it was released for the Business and Pleasure pairs. Just haven’t since I already have one of those in matte black. They’re not the same frame but they’re close enough I don't feel I need both a Business and a Pleasure. But since Ghost is an option for the 5.2 I’m thinking it’s time to grab a Ghost. Just wish the lenses were a different color. Might have to get some Blaze or Amethyst lenses. - yelkao

I'm a big fan of the matte ghost frames. My ghost business is my go to daily - MicahS

Good to know! I think my Ghost Business, Pleasure or 5.2 (if I had any of them) would be my M-Experiment goto pair as well.

Just get the Ghost and the Matte-Max Amythest and swap the lenses in them then you have two in your inventory lol :)

I like the way you think!

I'm surprised that OAKLEY isn't the brand releasing the in lens display. That seems more like OAKLEY than RayBan to me. But a friend of mine said, it's because that form factor is most accepted by the target audience who would use and afford that tech. I see what he's saying - more people who have money buy RayBan other than OAKLEY. The in lens display RayBan's cost $799. I guess that would put an OAKLEY version easily up to $1k because of the shield lens, high end optics, PRIZM, etc. But wouldn't athletes love to have in the lens display? The Air Wave I was told sold well and even sold out. Not sure why they didn't move forward with it. If Air Wave did that well I think that's a bit of proof that OAKLEY fans and athletes find value in the heads-up display.

I guess they feel the price would be a bit prohibitive. Although I would argue that the pricing for some MUZM releases and even the recent Plantaris Ti would say OAKLEY fans spend that kinda money. Actually $1k - if that's what an OAKLEY version would cost - is a bargain compared to those OAKLEY MUZM releases and the Plantaris Ti. I suppose since those were limited it's different than mass producing/having a regular release of a model at $1k or more. Again, that's my guesstimate. I've heard nothing and know nothing about an in lens OAKLEY Vanguard releasing. I'm just thinking out-loud. Heck, I still haven't read or watched much on the Vanguard yet. So maybe I shouldn't be saying anything yet. LOL

Yeah, I hear ya. I'd buy that Bomber and Shell Pants if they were reasonable. I'd buy the Tee right now if it was $75. It's definitely got some high quality materials and cool design/features. But $145 for a "Tee?" Maybe it should be called a Tech Tee or "Shirt." Not that it would make the $145 easier to stomach but it's not really a Tee imo.

Why in the heck do these cost more than the Haven release?!?!?!!!
Especially with Carbon Grey lenses.

Oh and "Running Low" already of course.

Oak has a good point - it's probably because of tariffs.
