use fairy liquid then wash it off afterwards - just dab a small bit on the front, wiggle it around and it should slide on nicely.

Do you mean just the rubber bits?

Get a cotton bud and dip it in washing up liquid and put it around the inside of the ear sock or frames. Slide it on and then later either take it off and wash the qashing up liquid out or just leave it

Great in theory, but I really can't tell the difference.  I'm not a massive sunglasses wearer though...It's all about the looks...

Branded gear is okay, however small branded is just as good (Softs) at a fraction of the price...

However Oakley are branded and are the market leader imo.

I tried going the smaller brand softs but didn't like it. Just lucky I am on here so I can get branded gear at cheaper prices!

Not a great idea to use fairy liquid on rubber as it can perish the rubber unless you get it all off which is difficult.

That's fair enough but I've found on bat grips it does effect the rubber but if that's what Oakley recommend it should be fine but i personally would of used baby oil but if oakley recommend it it will be fine. Around 8 years back a guy at our club used fairy to put his grip on and the grip wouldn't stop moving when he was griping the bat so he added coffee to try and stop it slipping.
