Every good skier on my local hill when I was 12 or 13 had to have the bright green Oakley goggles.
I bought a pair of frogskins with my paper route money.
from there it went. I have always had Oakley something on my eyes. I have an Oakley visor on my hockey helmet. I have a pair of chainsaw/work/shop glasses, and a pair of sunglasses. I have 2 pairs of goggles. I have had a couple of pairs of ski pants.
I don't know why, I've just always had good luck with those products, nobody ever questioned if my Oakleys were ANSI when I was a HECM.... As I said in another thread, I even went and bought stuff from other stores when I was managing a shop that dealt Smith and I had shop form.
What this keeps coming back to in this thread and the other thread is that people think we're just bitching because we're annoyed at the ad.
That's like when your good friend tells you about the spinach in your teeth and you tell him to go fuck himself and quit bitching about it. "Deal with it bro, I need to eat spinach, it's good for me. Just don't look at it you pussy."
Either way, I know how much of a shit Oakley gives about my/our business. It's not because of the ad...a shitty ad isn't bad product, it's because we've been making this point for weeks and nobody values our feedback enough to fix the issue.
