buy your glasses from a registered dealer...that way if you have any problems with them you can bring them back.

mine came in a box too, along with the bag.

If you're afraid of getting ripped then purchase them from an authorized dealer. That would highly lessen the chances of fraud.

I got mine down in the states on vacation a couple years back and it only came with a drawstring bag... no box.

Go downtown.....the street vendors have them for $20.....AND they come with a box and a bag.


And yes, I know they are fake....big deal.....the way I go through sunglasses, I refuse to pay more than that.

Oakleys are not supposed to come with a case (though I got mine thrown in for free). There should also be a warrenty card and an authenticity card i believe...

Just remember to wash 'the bag' every few weeks.

Personally I don't give a rats bottom on the brand of glasses I wear.
But my EYES are more important than one dollar or ten dollars or even 1 million dollars. Therefore I don't cheap out on eyewear. That crap they sell downtown is not really UV or UB protected. Therefore all those harmful rays end up in your fully exposed eye.

Buy T-shirts downtown, but not eyewear.
My $.02

true that one
if you wear glasses everyday of your life theres no way you can cheap out and buy the 10 or 20 dollar glasses just doesn't work for me

my Oakley A-Wire sunglasses cost me $500 but health plan paid for it thank God lol
it came in its cardboard box and the cleaning silk-like bag and for a hard shell case its like another 20 or 50 bucks i think (i didn't get it)

and my Adidas Glasses cost me like $425 also with health plan
but even if i didn't have the health plan i would still only buy the good **** and not cheap out

well, i don't mean to critisize, but usually people spent alot of money on sunglasses not to show off that their diesel, or okley, but to protect their eyes...I have a thing for sunglasses, and i would rather spend the 400 or wutever adn get the real ones...But, by buying fake glasses, they are not usually uv protectant, or the coating fades away ,the lenses are also not that great..Its better to not wear sunglasses than to wear teh cheaper ones. The oakleys are absolutly amazing since they come with plutonite leses ,(don't quote me) and u can stare at teh sun and not fel the effects of the rays....Also, if u don't know ,
i have an interesting fact about sunglasses
1) sunglasses fool the wyes into thinking that the surrounding environment is darker then it appears, so your skin adjusts, and therefore is not protecting you against the suns uv rays..threfore you get tanned a lot quicker...

thats all...post whoring

i belive that one alittle cause i can stare right at the sun with my Oakleys and it doesn't hurt my eyes that much (mainly cause they are prescription so there is some change to there lenses but the coating on them are the Oakley tint/coating
