Interesting video! Am looking for running sunglasses, and after trying another brand, I may come back to Oakley. This reminds me that I think I have an old pair of the Pro M Frame stashed away with the yellow lens. Used to love those, need to track them down! Had the original M frame as well in a clear frame, but they broke. Anyway, a few models later and I'm back on the hunt. Thanks for the vid!

[@theformerathlete]

Honestly, I just love them. There are a lot of good ones, but the m frame is such a game changer imo. But I also think you’d love the Sutro lite if you liked the m frame!

@@theformerathlete Thank you, going to take a look this weekend. Cheers!

[@Cute-Media]

my favor 2024 oakley Sphaera ❤

[@theformerathlete]

I tried them and I thought they felt good on. Did not like the design tho. Just too big on my face. Curious to see how it would look with the new lenses I saw them using in the Safe House in the Olympics this year tho

[@boboso7238]

They are going to release a Sutro Lite but in a titanium frame this fall. You should also take a look at M-Experiment, founded by Oakley's creator Jim Jannard and his son. They are releasing some new colors of a very popular frame for their one year anniversary on 7/8. The build quality of their glasses and lenses will remind you of when he used to own Oakley.

[@theformerathlete]

thanks! I have looked at the M-Experiment before, but it's been a while. Maybe I have to take a look again! It seems you are almost just as into Oakleys as me?

[@boboso7238]

I’ve been wearing them since the early 90’s and currently have about 85 pairs 😂. About 50 pairs are pre 2006 models before Jim sold the company, I love the older stuff. You should join the Oakley forums if not already. O-review has the most comprehensive database of Oakley products and Oakleyforum has the most active for-sale sections and modding discussions.

[@theformerathlete]

@@boboso7238 I love that! I will look for the forums!

[@JimmyLefebvre-fc6og]

​@@theformerathleteno I strongly advise against the experience m I had the gigawatt very very bad telescope ok! so don't buy ☝️

[@JimmyLefebvre-fc6og]

m-experiment is a lousy project, Oakley is irreplaceable

Nice video man! I’ve definitely been on the fence of either buying the 13.11 or the Pro M Frames first so this and your previous video on the 13.11 helped! I know you use Oakley’s for a lot of your physical activity, but do you not like the eye jackets? Those are definitely one of my favorite frames. I don’t know if you’ve seen but the running clothing brand ‘Satisfy’ has been dropping eye jackets collabs, so I’m guessing they could work for running if you wanted to 😅. I personally really like the style. I decided to get the orange Piet x Oakley eye jackets, and they’ve definitely been one of my go to’s lately.

[@theformerathlete]

Dude! Thanks for watching and commenting! Honestly, they are so cool. So retro, weird and still cool. I might have to get myself some of those at some point lol. Do you use them for sports? As mentioned in the video, I am a huge fan of bigger lenses for all sweaty sports haha

[@mem3king388]

Oakley has good stuff. Have some juliets and Eye Jacket Redux i wear on the daily.🔥

[@theformerathlete]

yeah, I've been a fan since I was 9 years old!

[@JimmyLefebvre-fc6og]

I had the same yellow pro m frame and the black pro m frame but for me the best remains the ev xs radar given that I have a small face.

[@theformerathlete]

Interesting! I have never tried the xs, but just figured they would be too small for me 😅

[@JimmyLefebvre-fc6og]

the ev xs radar is also suitable for adult faces and in my opinion it can help you

[@theformerathlete]

@@JimmyLefebvre-fc6og that's interesting! Maybe I have to check it out!

[@iain6225]

Always wanted to find a Mframe but they got disconnected :( this, I got myself a pair of radar and radarlock Oakley should bring back some of their old mframes

[@theformerathlete]

I agree with you. Luckily we still have eBay!

[@mokotramp]

Agree on the quality, its not the best. I've hot some Sutro Lite Photochromic and some Jacket 2 XL, quite flimsy compared to my old E Wires from 1991! 😁✌️

[@theformerathlete]

I guess times are changing. But I do think the quality still is good. Just not as good as it used to be. And as with everything else we buy these days, all brand products will be a bit over priced imo

[@mokotramp]

@@theformerathlete Yeah it's a shame, prices going up and quality coming down! 😔

[@Maksim5833]

Hello ! Also an @Oakley fan. but my lenses are worn out. But they didn’t change it. They simply offered first a 20% discount and then a 50% discount. I was surprised by this attitude towards a regular customer and fan. The glasses are good, the attitude towards the buyer is very bad. I am disappointed !

[@theformerathlete]

This changed when they were bought by an Italian group. Oakley used to be the best on customer service like this, but I guess they have to follow guidelines given by their mother company (I don’t like calling them that). I remember being able to send photos and get new products in the mail based on those. These days it’s not the same

[@jonathanlong9176]

You should do a full in depth collection review!

[@theformerathlete]

Thanks! In what way?

[@jonathanlong9176]

@@theformerathleteI enjoyed when you talked about the old ones, maybe I’m just greedy for more Oakley content lol, like tell a story about each of them and what they mean.

[@jonathanlong9176]

Or like an in depth review on the Katos, been thinking about getting a pair

[@Hehehehhehehehehehehehhe78]

Its crazy how the 13.11 lens can fit on a 25 year old plus design but can the 13.11 fit m frame lens?

[@theformerathlete]

You mean if the can fit the normal m frame? I would think so, although my experience is that lenses sit better in the pro frame in general 😎

[@boboso7238]

@@theformerathlete The 13:11 lens has a notch in it in the bridge, so any donor lens would have to be notched to fit the 13:11 frame accordingly. It can be done, lots of lens cutters out there make donor lens for old and current models that don't have many options. A kato lens can be cut to fit the pro mframe and do a homemade 13:11.

[@theformerathlete]

@@boboso7238 never thought about that before! I only looked it as impossible to use the m frame lenses on the 13.11. I was happy when I realized I could take the 13.11 lenses and use them for my pro m frames tho
