New M-Crash Beanie Colors - Dullisc

I'm really digging the Copper one!

Some cool stuff there. I like the Plantaris but I don't love it. I'm not really into collabs. I have to really love it to buy it. Especially if it has the collab brand on it in a very noticeable way. Like the sling bag. Love that bag but PIET is ginaormous they way it is on it. I wouldn't mind one of the caps though.

So since they are still available this long after release it appears they are now making enough of these kinds of things that you would have to sleep your kidney to pay scalpers prices.

You would think if a lot of these types of releases haven't been selling out right away or at all that scalpers would have little "leverage" now. But they'll wait until they do sell out or are unavailable then they'll charge crazy money. Actually I think they still do even without them selling out. I've seen it with Oakley and other brands. They'll put it on ebay for big money even when it's still available sometimes.

Prizm Road Oakley True Digital (Plano) I love that RX lenses look extra because of the AR coatings. - Preludachris

The rx offerings are wild for glasses compared to normal everyday. Look at what you can get in the Plantaris, and these aren't all of them.

That’s crazy!

Welcome! Been wanting to get back into MTN biking again myself. Have my Klein Mantra sitting there in the garage doing nothing. 9 30th Anniversary Subs - Nice! Wish I could help you out on the 0.3 but maybe someone else can or eventually something will pop-up.

Man it went fast - Chattabox23

I wonder how many were available? Not sure I remember reading that anywhere.

Not feeling this one that much. I like the Sapphire lenses and box a lot though. Is that white, silver or grey for the lower orbitals?

Nice!

I wonder why the Oakley prices are so much higher than the price of the Haven pair.. - MicahS

The U.S. has tariffs. Haven is in Canada. If you're buying from Haven in Canada and shipping to the U.S. you're cost will go up. Only way you're getting the Haven price is if you live in Canada and are keeping them in Canada. That's the reason I think. Also when you pay tariffs and import fees when you've bought from another country and it's coming into the U.S. - your "fees" are based on the country it was produced in. So you are going to pay higher fees on these since they were made in China - if I remember correctly that's where these are made because of the Ti - rather than if these were made in Canada. - yelkao

Thats whats strange though. I didnt pay any extra. Even when the invoice came to FedEx I expected import fees but it was for $0... - MicahS

That is weird. I bought something recently off of ebay. A $35 item that I got new (new old stock) for $15 with free shipping. After I paid I remebered about the tariffs, etc. It was coming from Canada. I googled tariffs, import fees and read some things under $800 may be deferred. PLus, I thought $15 coming from Canada the fees can't be that much if there are any. I didn't want to back out on the item after I paid. 3-4 days later I get an email and a text saying fees and duties are $30. SO I paid $45 for a $35 retail item that I was uspposed to get for $15 with free shipping. I asked around and googled it more and found out tariffs, fees, duties are based on the product's origin 0 where it was made - not the country it was shipping from. Si I'd say you got off wasy. LOL But a lot of things I've been looking at are costing more - not all, but a few places are making notes "tariffs included" or "tariffs not included in price." Either way it seems like were paying more.

It seems hard to tell with Oakley. We're so used to them raising prices at random times that it's tough to know if the current high prices of new releases, etc are a result of tariffs or not. Didn't they raise prices a little while back across the board and then maybe 6 months later raised prices across the board again? So the high price of Tailend Ti could be tariffs or not. Who knows?

I've been a Nike fan since I was in third or fourth grade - so along with Oakley - I'm pretty loyal - it's tough to tell with Nike as well. A lot of their shoes seem to be business as usual. But their higher end apparel seem to cost more even for being top tier. The low end and mid-range seem the same. The only difference I've noticed is the expensive apparel seems more expensive. Nike releasing some higher priced items because of tariffs, cost of materials or inflation? Again, who knows?

Clear frame?

Defiantly a bigger frame but loving it.



- Dullisc

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.

Defiantly a bigger frame but loving it.



- Dullisc

Looks good man!

How do you like the amethyst pair?

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!
