WTB: Oakley Holbrook

[BMW Power]

Looking to get a pair of Oakley Holbrook sunglasses.

There are several outlets selling them. Which store would beyonders recommend?

Also, if anyone is interested in selling a pair in fairly new condition, PM me.

Ozone at market mall. They had a few in the sunglasses hut by the apple store

I like Holbrooks, I even have a small collection of it. Which kind are you looking for? If you're looking for just plain old ones Sunglass Hut wouldn't be a bad place to look. I went for the Stapl and Motocross editions and I had to get them specially ordered thru Spareparts.

PS.
The only ones I couldn't find in the city are the grape juice ones.

why not go to the oakley store in chinook or balzac

You can now customize Holbrooks on Oakley.ca which is pretty sick

Bow Cycle has a pretty rad Oakley selection too

So I walked into Sunglasshut at Chinook with my mind made up to purchase the Matte Black holbrooks with the standard grey lens. I liked the silver "O" detail on the side and figured I could purchase the silver iridium lens at a later stage and they would match pretty well. However SH dont sell lens and directed me to the Oakley store upstairs.

Got there and saw a very unique "matte rootbeer" colored frame with matching brown lens which blew my socks off....until I saw the price ($265) which is almost double of the standard black one that I had planned to get.
It looked just like this:



The only drawback I see with this rootbeer color is that it may not gel well with the other colour lens as the black one would.

Needless to say, I am having a dilemma now and not sure if I should save up a bit more and buy the polarized rootbeer one or just get the matte black one which I originally set out to get.

Polarized is definitely worth the money! Especially for long cruises, reduced glare from dusk to dawn.

I have both polarized and non polarized Holbrooks, and I wear the polarized set 98% of the time.

I got these guys Matteblack Purple & MatteBlack Gold Polarized



BTW

Sunglass Hutt is well known to hike up the prices by $50-$100

I had the rootbeer colored ones, best sunglasses ive ever had. However they were stolen from my car downtown

Do yourself better, and get Frogskins.

I was looking to get a Holbrook as well! I love Oakley sunglasses and is actually, I would say, a collection of mine. I tried one earlier and they are really nice. I just can't decide which colour I would get or I may go custom. Maybe a red with Red/Ruby iridium lens? And polarized lenses are worth the extra charge.

I find owning a few with different lenses works best. I have a few pairs for overcast and a few for really bright days. Among all of oakley's lenses my favorite would have to be ruby iridium, next will be a classic gray. Having said that, you can swap out Holbrook lenses quite easily and a pair of non polarized one is only 60 bucks.
