It looks as if you are right. Way off. Big coincidence that you post on the JDA thread. I used to be the FD for EMEA for JDA in a past life.... I have followed OO for a while because I did admire their products. But I am not so sure now. Has anyone out there had any experiences with Rx Oakleys........ I would be interested to hear because here in the UK they cost up to $530 a pair. I did have five pairs but they keep on breaking. So that worries me and so does the fact that the customer service in the UK is not what it should be. Could these underlying problems be indications of a deeper malaise...? del
