i had the first SI Assault from Oakley back in 2002, that pair of boots really served me well. So, I decided to get a second one. Guess what? Oakley quality degraded throughout the years. The sole came off only after a few months. I also used to have an e-Wire sunglasses, that was a classic! But when I got to the newer ones, the film of the lens peeled off easily. Same goes with their bags; the handle of their backpack suddenly broke - and worst, the local dealership here in Manila won't even give me a warranty!! After several years of using Oakley, I decided to finally dump the brand and buy no Oakleys anymore.
