If you weren't worried about what other people thought of you no one would by oakley gear....There is stuff that is more comfortable for way cheaper, but since your image on the hill matters so much you have to buy oakley, not calling anyone out because I do it too, but people who say things like who cares what people think of how you look when you ski are ridiculous, im not saying to let others define your style, but you can't say that you don't buy your stuff on how you look so OTHERS can see you.
