    I'm not in to Oakleys but friends are and yes, you do get firms offering their glasses at very substantial discounts.

    However, if you expect them to honour any warranty, you need to be very careful about choosing just who you buy them from as Oakley have an exceptionally strict definition of "approved" dealers and most of the UK/online outlets did not qualify (incl Oakley shops!). In fact the last time I looked, only the Airside shops at Heathrow and Gatwick were fully recognised by Oakley for warranty purposes.

    Chapter and verse was on their website but I'm not going back to recheck as it took long enough to rid my machine of the particularly stubborn bit of spyware that they deposited on it last time.

    My mate bought some sunglasses for his missis in Spain for £50. I said nice fakes, he said but they've got a uv 40 protection sticker on them, I said they also say Dior on the side.
    Don't mess around with your eyes, buy from a official website or shop.

    Hi,
    I found this website:
    outlet-oakleysunglasses . com

    I was wondering if anyone has used this site before or anyone can provide me with any reviews of the site?
    Everything seems fine but the price is lowwwww:D

    Thanks

    FAKE - if you zoom in on any of the cases in the photos they do not have the Oakley logo but something very similar. Avoid.

    if you want them cheaper get a pair of fake half jackets (I think thats what they are called) and remove the cheap crappy lenses and replace with gen oakley ones. Managed to get a pair of £100 sunnies for about £50 this way with the all important UV proctection

    http://www.eyewearoutlet.co.uk/ are very good. Used them a few times with no problems.

    Another thumbs up for this company from me too. I bought some clearance Oakley in February for a great price. Unfortunately they don't seem to have a clearance section at the moment.
