i think it is a little over hyped. you see so many kids wearing it so it is not the unique. and its hella over priced for not that great of quality imo

I dig their goggles and glasses, and they're all I've worn for years. when I let people try on my glasses they're normally pretty surprised at how clear everything is too, esp. compared to their shitty $5 pairs. but outwear needs work from what I hear. used to be dope, but it's gone down hill despite it costing the same price.

Do you know it rips easily, or are you speculating because it feels thin? I thought the same thing, but I bought a pair of over the top pants, and they haven't cut at all after about a week of skiing in them. Before that I had burton pants, and they got cut to shit the first day I skied in them, and still do every time I go out with them. My buddy had some HH pants, and the same thing happened. Oakley' s made the best pants I've owned so far. The material seems thin, but its held up better then anything else I've had.

It depends what model you have. I accidentally got some In Focus pants earlier this year, which were really thin and kinda silky, then sent them back for some Pieced Togethers. These are also pretty thin, and I actually wore them all season and the cuffs are pretty ripped now. This said, my friend has some Crash pants, and they seem super durable and a much tougher material.

I like Oakley lots too, but it gets kinda played in some places. Luckily not at my mountain, so it's still really dope.

their jackets are pretty bomber. ive had two, and loved them. i wouldnt buy their pants though, they seem kinda low on quality compared to their jackets.

CHEAP ZIPPERS!!!!!  also there 30 warranty is LAME...I have been wearing oakley since they started making ski clothing..back when they had the ugly green and black jacket...but I was thinking of going spyder next season instead cause of the life time warranty..but biggest thing is the zippers, they suck.  Other than that I tihnk they make the best goggle and lens on the market.

Oakley sucks. Zippers suck. 30-Day warrantee sucks. Material sucks. It just sucks.

All the new Oakley sucks. All my Oakley stuff that is a couple years old is great. I still have leather flipflops from 4 years ago, a belt from 3 years ago and two backpacks from 7 years ago.

But I bought two jackets and two pants last year - they SUCK!

epic claim!



anyway i have the crash jacket and used it for about 30-40 days, its held up fine- including the zippers. the only thing thats broken is one of the four button/snaps that snaps the powder skirt together has come out, but there are still 3 more buttons so it still works. lucky for me i live in new hampshire, so theres certainly no need for a powder skirt anyway.
