The stated price for those molds is pretty accurate, I was the designer of them back when I worked at the mold vendor that built their lens tooling, and the molds were not cheap to build. The accuracy demanded by Oakley was no joke, and every aspect of the design was looked at to help produce the most optically accurate lenses in the world. Pretty cool to see that my designs are still making lenses today!

OMG back in the 80s we were all into BMX racing and their goggles were the ones to use while racing. One day while on holiday in France I saw a Vanns shoe shop and popped in while I could not wait for the custom made trainers for racing I picked up the Glasses they made by Oakley and I still own them today I did not know that they were the first, wow I had better put them on display lol

Unfortunately Oakley failed me when I needed them the most. This summer racing with a pair of Kato 24K, they broke letting me without glasses to ride for the rest of the month. Sure Oakley sent me a brand new pair because two years warranty, kudos! It's a bitter-sweat feeling, not having them when I needed the most, but at least getting a new pair.

note Jim Jannard, Oakley's founder, sold the company to Luxottica, probably the biggest optics and glasses manufacturer, years ago. Nowadays, it is an Italian company. notice the fact, when you visit an store, if your oakleys are made in USA or Italy (in fact, for frames have six factories around the world). Only lenses are still made in USA.

It does make me appreciate Oakley a lot more. I've been wearing my pair of Oakley's for almost a year now, and I doubt I could ever go back. My lens is a prizm lens and has made a lot of colors just pop, which is really amazing since I'm colorblind.

This is probably a minor thing, but I will say, with regards to helmet design, and him talking about brand recognition: Yes, he says that brand recognition is #2, but then goes onto say "If every other helmet on the market looks like swiss cheese, you can't really see whose is whose. The biggest thing is how can we create something really identifiable from the front..." Yeah see I don't want my designers even considering that. If every other brand looks a certain way, and they were designed with cooling and aero in mind, maybe there's a reason for that. I don't know, could be reading too much into that, but I'll take form following function any day of the week.

Very interesting tour video for their Sport glasses which are still the best. But I totally lost interest in Oakley - it’s very obvious that Luxottica pressures Oakley to release as many glass designs as possible regardless of whether they will do well. It used to be a big deal when something new was released, but for the most part, not anymore.
