Mk1 Oakley Frogskins

[john]

Pretty pleased to have found these given they've been missing for at least 10 years in my parent's house. Originally purchased by me back in 1991 ish from a PX on an American Army base whilst on a German exchange. Obviously.

One hinge a little bent, not going to enjoy putting that straight...

Niiice.... Those Mk1 with the metal hinges are pretty scarce these days. Well found!

This was Greg Herbold favorite sunglasses in the '90s

very nice! never realised they did a metal hinge version.

i currently have a pair of re issue frogskins as my non bike sunnies.

black frame, black lens, polarized. so nice to wear, they are very light.

i have some rayban wayfarers, that are so heavy by comparison, but also do not sit close to your eyes like oakley do.

oakley engineering is very good

was unaware of metal hinges too. always thought they were all intergrated plastic.
