Your First Pair?

[1CLNFRD]

My first pair was an original blood with black iridium eye jackets. Man I miss them

What was your first pair of Oakley’s and do you still have them?

Black Frogskins 1993. They were confiscated by military patrol while I was in training. Something to the effect that they were considered a fashion statement. That is partially true, but mostly I used them as the sunlight has always bothered my eyes.

Second pair I owned was black mumbos after I got to my first command. Idiotically, I left them at an ATM and never seen them again

Although it was hard losing those, I've learned to really keep an eagle eye on my sunglasses since. I still have a pair of sand colored flak jackets that are going on 12 years old. The lenses have been replaced several times, and the font on the nose bridge has partially worn off, but they are rather sentimental to me. I don't wear them much anymore because I have moved on to larger frames such as the Enc
oder which is my go-to nowadays

My first pair was a 2nd gen Mframe that I bought in Japan. I still have them. My second pair was some frogs, which I sold.

0.6 Planet X w/ +Pos Red, and I still have them. That’s the first legit pair my dad bought for me. I had a pair of Subzero 2n and Frogs crystal clear/violet prior to that. I’ve mentioned this story before but I traded a large amount of Pogs (that fell off the back of a truck) for the subs. My parents started asking questions about the glasses, I was 10 at the time…ended up trading those for the frogs and $50 cash. Wore those until I was gifted the 0.6 and I gave the frogs to my friend that was also an early O freak but couldn’t afford a pair.

1992 Frogskins clear (kinda bluish tint) frames, old school Orange Iridium. Then I got a pair with Black Iridium lenses, then a pair of 0.6's with clear lenses for Mountain biking. Ahhh, the days of only three pairs of glasses lol...

Orange/Fire lenses are hands down my favorite color and I'm still hoarding Fire lenses for my Holbrooks and Flaks as they don't seem to make them anymore. I'll be wearing them when I'm 80.

Back when I was 80 lbs lighter and longer hair, I sported a pair of white Razor Blades with pink triggers! Sure wish I had them instead of the weight!

My first pair was purchased online. Custom EV Radar blue and white. I still have them to this day. I traveled to Costa Rica with them. I take my sunglasses when I go on vacation.
