New Member, 20 Year Vet

So I’m new to the forum, but I’ve been wearing Oakley’s for over 20 years.

Past few years I’ve had two pair, FJ2.0 Black/Black and HJ2.0 Black/Black. A couple months ago, my 5yo daughter and I start talking after she picked up a pair off the table, and I tell her how I lost my favorite pair years ago at a concert. She naturally wants to know what they looked like, and lo and behold I find the exact pair on eBay! I set a few alarms, and a few days later I won a beautiful pair of Half Jacket 1.0’s in Polished Aluminum with Ice Iridium XLJ’s. I was stoked! And that just lit a fire.

Since then I’ve added:
Flak Jacket 2.0 Polished White/Black Iridium
Flak Jacket 1.0 Polished Navy/Fire
Flak Jacket 1.0 Metallic Navy/Grey
Flak Jacket 1.0 Carbon Fiber/Ice Iridium
Flak Beta Matte White/Prism Sapphire
Flak Draft Dark Grey/Black Iridium
Half Jacket 2.0 Polished Red/Black Iridium
Half Jacket 2.0 Polished Black/Black Iridium
Half Jacket 2.0 Polished Black/Prism Sapphire
Half Jacket 1.0 Carbon Fiber/Ice Iridium
Fast Jacket Silver/Black Iridium
Fast Jacket Sky Blue/Sapphire
Twenty XX - Gunmetal/Fire
Twenty XX - Gunmetal/Fire
Twenty XX - Midnight/24k
Twenty XX - FMJ 5.56/Ice
Twenty XX - Evergreen/Black Iridium
Twenty XX - Cardinal Red/Black Iridium
Twenty XX - Matte Black/Black Iridium
New Straight Jacket II - White Chrome/Red/Black
New Straight Jacket II - Jet Black/Black
New Straight Jacket II - Jet Black/Black
Valve 1.0 - Silver/Blue/Black Iridium

My wife thinks I’ve lost my mind, and I probably have!

And I've been after it more. It turns out the Cardinal Red Twenty XX frames were counterfeit, and they are being returned. That sucked, because I really wanted a pair of red Twenty XX's. To console myself, I bought a Midnight/Fire Iridium Scar, a Red Metallic New Straight Jacket II, and a Red Metallic Flak Jacket 1.0.
