Great step by step! I have several types of Oakley’s. This video explains them all! Today I’m swapping lenses in my Flight Jackets. Thanks for the tutorial!!
The Haynes repair manuals have always been really good (before everything moved to RU-vid 10 years ago lol), but while my 2003 Corolla was easy to work on, I can't get a manual for a newer Subaru. T_T
The flight jacket lenses is really easy to swap out. I did it a few times. I found the mercenary to be tough to do the swap though. The Racing Jacket and the Jawbreaker are super easy to do the swaps. No need to yank out lenses on those to take it out. The bones hold those in place on those frames.
Sweet. The first 2 minutes worked great for swapping lenses on my Metalinks. Insertion was a little different, though -- I had to insert the sharper corner at the nose, and then press in near the ear.
Hey Oakley! Love the vids. I have a pair of your Catalyst glasses (I love them and recommend them, they fit great, and are super comfy) but my one of my lenses got scratched and it really bugs me. Does the same apply for lens replacement for my catalyst?
İ have twoface xl and small version. Both have factory manufacturers fail on the silver part of paint aluminum looks getting so quickly Looks rusty.in turkey luxottica dors not help. What can i do?
Yup these frames are durable af! Landed on my oil Rigs one time and I’m heavy big guy. When I saw them I thought I had broken them. the lens was out the frame was in parts. Everybody who saw was in shock and like damn they broke! But I picked up the pieces and just put it all together and BAM!!! Now everybody wants Oakleys!!
Iridium coating on M2 XL is delaminating. Went to the local Oakley store and the sales rep told me I'm screwed cause have no purchase receipt (they were gifted). He admitted the delamination is a manufacturer's defect but Oakley nor the store are responsible...do not buy Oakley
First off, You're the man, Will!! VERY EASY AND SIMPLE! However, you said, "I promise you didn't break anything," and I trust you, but my Holbrooks are in a couple of pieces now. Like I said, I trust you 100%, but I do prefer my Holbrooks to be 1 piece, or 2. Is there any possibility of a "Changing your new multipiece Oakleys back to 1" video in the future? THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!
I am trying to figure out how to get replacement lens for my glasses but can't remember the model. I purchased them at an Oakley store so they they are authentic. How do I figure out what model it is. I know they are a type of jacket but not sure if it is half jacket or the other one.
I want some of those lens changing gloves....are those gloves made from the microbag material?..are they for retail sale if so where can I purchase them? Thanks
I wash them off with clean water and than carefully dry them with really soft toilett-paper , because microfiber sometimes has minor dust particles in it and can make micro scratches if you dont watch out.
Hi guys , is there any way to change bridge size in clifdens ? Like changing nose pads for bigger or something , coz they are avalible Only in size universal (17) , please help , thanks
I always liked the story about how difficult the X-Metal line was to manufacture, wroth with difficult and costly processes. It was really Jannard’s forward thinking and a dedication to cutting edge design that was at the core of what Oakley was doing in the marketplace. Really no other outfit out there was making eyewear out of forged metal much less using difficult to work with titanium (and magnesium in other lines). The closest any other companies dared get to these materials was use of titanium wire - but forging it? Ha! Once Luxottica swallowed Oakley, it was a sure bet that X-Metal’s days were numbered. Luxottica was just not that kind of company.
I wanted an original juliet for me in Brazil with majority and replica because I have no financial conditions to buy, but I would love to have a glasses
You guys are great company, even though you're owned by Luxottica. I've been using your sunglasses since 2012. I bought a pair of fuel cells back then, I've both lenses replaced once these things have been dropped on the concrete, sand, rocks, dirt, you name it. I've taken these things shooting in the desert, and I've even survived a sandstorm with these things. You guys make good, durable, high-quality products. Gucci has nothing on you, how dare they charge $800 for a pair of sunglasses that break when you drop them on the concrete one time.

Glasses from the "x metal" collection are arguably some of the most sought after frames by oakley collectors, and they are rarely given up by people once they've obtained them. They've also been discontinued since around late 2012 - early 2013 (at least the Juliets) with Romeos being taken off about 7 years earlier if memory serves me right.
Followed the method to remove Mainlink lenses, ended up with chipped iridium coating. The chipping spread rapidly over time, after a few more wears the iridium coatings of both lenses are now totally ruined! 😖
The lenses on my Frogskin Lites keep cracking near the nose bridge. It's like a spider crack. I've gotten my lenses replaced multiple times and they keep cracking. I don't store them in my car. They are always in a room temperature location in its case.
I have a new one as well but unfortunately it looks cheap plastic despite the high price and it is easy to scratch and break it ( I mean the plastic not the lenses)
I've been using a old shaving brush with Fairy liquid and warm water. Shake almost dry then polish with a silk pocket square. Both softer than microfibre.
Yes, you most certainly can. Go to your local oakley store and browse through the standard, prizm, or prizm-polarized lenses. Or you could always buy them at www.oakley.com (Oakley Sales Rep, Pooler GA)
Thank you for being a valued customer. Please visit us at customersupport.luxottica.com/wcsstore/oakley.html to search for replacement parts. If you are unable to find what you are looking for, please send us an email at consumerwarranty@luxotticaretail.com.
So I trusted the video that I wouldn’t break the lens…he was right, I didn’t…but he didn’t warn me about bending the hell out of the frames & nose pads while forcing the new lens in. Def way harder than it looks in this video (at least for the Gauge 8) & now I have to go buy a whole new pair.
could someone give me a juliet ne glasses if well who i am from brazil i have no money and i am unemployed but it would be cool to have a glasses as radical as the juliet glasses
Dont leave them where extreme temperatures are prevalent. Also, dont use any chemicals besides the oakley approved cleaning solution or distilled water. 9 times out of 10 when people come in complaining about lens peeling, when we ask them where they keep their glasses.....they say in their car. This is usually the cause of delamination or "peeling". The lens technology (Plutonite) is amazing, but remember, its still essentially a purified polycarbonate or plastic, and will behave as such when its heated or cooled to extreme fluctuating temperatures. (Oakley Sales Rep, Pooler Georgia)
@@nickprater2785 @Nick Prater I have Penny, Crankcase, 2 Crosshair, Canteen, 2 Five Squared, Canteen....all of them never seen a pool or the beach, never left inside the car nor extreme heat and all of them peeled. The replacement lenses never peeled off.
@@mr.rodriguez3512 its because the lens coating is sprayed on or "dipped" when its applied. The reason the lens does this is to keep from sacrificing perfect optical clarity. Other lenses have a film thats applied to the lens, and this causes your eye to slightly dilate when it looks through them, causing eye strain if they're worn for a prolonged period. Sportsrx has a video up explaining what us oakley salesmen have to learn when we start working there. But anyway, when your eye looks through this lens, your brain corrects to make what you're looking through "clear", but if you were to put a camera lens behind these lenses, it would be the same as looking through opaque glass. So its kind of a double edged sword......oakley continues to use their coatings this way because it doesn't sacrifice the optical properties of the polycarbonate they use (plutonite). Which is clearer than the highest rated optical glass by the way, but at the end of the day, its still a platic-type material and will behave as such. The coating will eventually wear off, but its a small price to pay if you think the Z80 rating for ballistics, and the highest optical grade for any sports glasses in the world are worth it. I think its worth it.
@@mr.rodriguez3512 I can guarantee you that the 3rd party lenses aren't the same as an oakley lens. Theres a reason why oakley owns the rights to the XYZ or triple axis measurement that keeps the pitch of the lens from distorting incoming light. This ensures that your eyes see things at the same clarity and distance that they would without any glasses on. Its really amazing stuff when you know what goes behind it. Oakley has worked hard for decades to perfect optical clarity and contrast, and even continues to push the envelope with specific color contrast (prizm) for certain environments. Theres a reason why theyre the best in the world......it its because of plutonite.
@@eggmayo9507 you dont have to beleive it why would you buy oakley if you dont think there stronge i have stepped on my frames and lenses with metal cleats boots and have dropped 20+ feet there still fine so if you think you cant replace the lenses your pretty stupid
Hello Roy, if you need further information on any of our Oakley models, please feel free to send us a direct message with your query, and we will be happy to help.
If you read the fine print on changing Oakland leans by yourself, you see your warranty will be void . Apparently only Oakley can change lenses. It doesn’t go into detail on specific models . The only lens you can change out are on the “ switch “ otherwise your screwed read for yourself
