h2. Bob Burnquist Signature Series Recycled GASCAN Sunglasses Oakley skateboarder Bob Burnquist has long championed Green initiatives in environmental protection. To show support, Oakley is pleased to present this special edition Gascan® eyewear. The frame is made from excess materials that come from the manufacture of other eyewear, and the eco-conscious design utilizes bamboo for the icon accents and included storage bag. We even made the packaging from recycled materials and soy-based ink. A portion of the proceeds from sales of the Bob Burnquist Gascan® will go to the Action Sports Environmental Coalition (ASEC), an organization co-founded by Bob in 2001. With the help of athletes and companies, the organization takes a proactive approach to educate others about environmental responsibility. Oakley is honored to assist in these efforts. “I am very excited to be part of the creation of this special eyewear piece,” said Bob Burnquist. “The way Oakley has bridged the gap between technical innovation and a more Green route is quite an achievement.” We are proud of this new sunglass, the first of what we hope will be numerous innovations created with Green initiatives in mind. Oakley VP of Sports Marketing Pat McIlvain states, “Bob has long been a source of inspiration to Oakley brand leadership and he brings a wealth of knowledge to the design table. It’s very exciting to see Oakley take this approach with our environment in mind.” The opportunity to serve such a noble cause alongside Bob Burnquist is an honor, and Oakley is excited to play a role in preserving the Earth’s valuable resources for future generations. The frame is made from excess materials produced from the manufacture of other Oakley eyewear. The eco-conscious design utilizes 100% bamboo for the icon accents. Includes a storage bag made from 100% certified organic bamboo; a sustainable natural fiber that is 100% biodegradable. Packaging is constructed from recycled materials and printed with eco-friendly inks. Precision and durability of sculpturally integrated hinge mechanisms with dual cam action. Comfort and Performance of Three-Point Fit that holds lenses in precise optical alignment. Oakley patented HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® provide unparalleled visual clarity and impact resistance that meets ANSI Z87.1 standards.

Me with glasses...
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare Cons: fragile logo on side
As said by others, this is the best sunglass I ever had in terms of Comfort, Style (for me) clarity, quality and many more pros..
The only concern is the logo (bamboo type) is kinda fragile...
Sure recommended buy for its price and style

I just bought my first Oakley Sunglasses. I think these glasses are awsome. I do agree that the bamboo icons are alittle fragile, but over all they are great. I like the way they fit, look, and the clarity couldnt get any better. They have a one year warranty. I am really happy with them. I am planning on asking for another pair for a Christmas gift. I would like to get the bronze gascans or maybe design a custom pair.

Innovative, Stylish, Excellent Purchase!
Date: July 25, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, No glare Cons: bamboo icon is a bit fragile
I bought these sunglasses earlier and they are all I hoped they'd be. I saw them online about a month ago listed as "Coming Soon" and read the description and couldn't wait to have them considering I'm a huge environmental enthusiast. They combine my two favorite things, environmentally friendly materials and Oakley A+ sunglasses. And though these gascans are made from recycled sunglass materials, they still deliver the same comfort and fit of the original gascan. The bamboo icon and soft bag is an excellent touch to these signature series glasses as well. Oakley has done it again, these sunglasses are top notch!!
