well, because people, like your friend, will still buy stuff when it is expensive. and hopefully I dont have to point out that oakley stuff owns all

premium, just try on a pair of almost any oakley pants... mmmm. I think the biggest difference is that oakley clothes have better looks/style than HH, north face or mountain hardwear

if you're talking goggles n sunnies, then it might be cos they engineer them to have minimal visual distortion compared to the other manufacturers out there. and they seem to use lots of lenses as target practice too. thats gotta be expensive.
There's also the corporate america thang too.

i think its because they produce the best of everything they make.

oakley makes hockey gloves to, and believe it or not their the sickest gloves on the market right now.

they engineer and redesign equipment over and over to make it perfect, and all that research cost adds up. thats why they gotta sell it so high. but your getting what you pay for.

Its because of the cost of the research first of all.

then, because they want people with style to wear their stuff...not the little poor bastard...you know..they dont want every single kids to have oakley stuff..

every single kids are getting oakley stuff, the more expensive it gets the more people buy it.

shine so bright when i walk by, ya gotta squint like da muthafukin son in ya eye.

as a kid i used to like to like riding in the car with my head out the window. i would do it all the time. until one day a car was coming. my head hit a dogs head, and my head knocked the dogs head off. now i dont lean out the window anymore.

Wear snowboarder gear, or crossovers like sessions...Oakley apparel sux.

And all you guys that are gonna pull the 'support ski companies' crap, then go out an buy race gear, or you probably dropped your money on Oakley, the most corporate, low quality shit out there, so eat it. If real ski companies can come out with decent gear that will last, I might buy it...but Oakley...heh, stick with goggles and shades.

It's expensive because they spend so much money on advertising and marketing research and marketing - which is why they are still able to sell it for so much. IT's good stuff, but really you are paying a premium for the 'cool factor' which was created in some gay-ass marketing boardroom and fueled by many millions of dollars. You are a whore to Madison Avenue. As we all are. Sorry.
