Replacement OAKLEY Lenses that Don't Suck!

[@Mike82ARP]

Great video. I love my Oakleys, but as they say, "On your face or in a case".

[@erichildreth7562]

Great video! I have been using Oakley's for years with no issues and when I'm not wearing them they are back in their sunglass bag. I have bought replacement lenses and I found IKON lenses are great replacement lenses too! Great lens for the money too!

[@Zokambaa]

you should have the lenses checked for the UVA/UVB rating... so many of the cheaper ones just filter the brightness not the full UV rays so you open the pupils with the tint and let in more damaging UV. I think some glasses shops have the machine that measures the light passing through the lenses and maybe some safety shops as well... North America has higher certification standards that eyewear have to pass where as China doesn't have to always follow suit.

[@Demon09-_-]

being shatter proof probably gives them the opposite property you thought at first. as they make them with more flexible plastic so it doesn't crack and shatter but the trade off is it is softer.

[@IIDASHII]

I've given up on Oakley. As you said, they are comfortable, but coming with no hard lens coating at their price point is not acceptable.

[@AdventureOne]

IIDASHII agreed!

[@Dcard07]

IIDASHII you should give Costa’s a try. Love my Costa’s

[@James-hh1lq]

IIDASHII my turbines wasn't comfortable my ears were in pain after wearing them for an hour or more

[@LuisRiveraRomero]

Same here, I have like 7 pairs of Oakley’s and their lenses get scratched easily. I got A pair of Costa Del Mar sunglasses more than 18 months ago and the lenses are in perfect condition. You will have to buy the one with glass lenses, not plastic. And the optical clarity is amazing, everything looks HD. The only thing is that Costa are not that stylish like Oakley but I’m more than happy. No more Oakley for me.

[@thedarkknight9900]

Revant and fuse lenses all have the same lens color options as Oakley. Just different names

[@thedarkknight9900]

Any Oakley sunglass owners. Do not leave your sunglasses in your car when it is hot or cold. It will ruin them. Also do not wear them if you are at the beach and you might get a little wet. The salt water will eat away the coating on them.

[@scottyee707]

thats sucks, these things should be stronger than that, my sweat made my coating fall off, my matte sunglasses are now glossy around my ears

[@slippyg]

So never wear them ? Just keep them in the fridge yeah?

[@THENEWWRANGLER]

I have ruined many gascan lenes I just ordered three sets from the e bay store, I hope they last longer than the original oakleys, any update on durability I see it has been a few years since this video came out,

[@drwlawesq.8222]

Agreed on the lenses. I average right around two years shelf life on my Okleys until the lenses are completely toast. However, the performance and quality that I get during that time outweighs the fact that I have to drop $165 - $200 every couple years to replace them. I look at it like this; if I buy cheap $15 dollar glasses four times a year, thats $120 over two years, plus, with those you don't get the shatterproof quality that you get from Oakleys, and that in and of itself is priceless.

[@AdventureOne]

Thanks, and good cost comparison. I am very pleased with these lenses.

[@TS-if8gp]

Dollar tree has polarized glasses LOL

[@hawaiianpunch6534]

I bought from them years ago. I had to find replacements for my e-wire and they had them. When I got the lenses I popped out the old ones and put in the new ones. Right away I noticed gaps between the frame and the lens. So I took pictures of what I talked about and sent it to them, they sent me another pair. The gaps were still there but smaller. I was fine with it. I have those glasses in the car as backup glasses for when I get caught driving when the sun is going down. I think that they aren't perfect but for the price? They do the job.

[@G7130]

Everyone might be aware, but Luxottica owns and makes Oakley, Prada, LV, etc. pretty much all of them and they all come out of the same design factories and manufacturing facilities. So, these direct replacements are essentially the same thing just no branding. It's not that China sells them out the back door its that the country doesn't acknowledge most foreign patents.

[@clautamiralves712]

I have two pair and is scretched now. Need to know if woth or not a oem lens.

[@daveyw1517]

The higher performance eye protection just inherently is more susceptible to scratches. Higher grade ballistic scratch even easier. Something to decide, a scratched lens or shattered lens. You decide.

[@jonysarous]

Hey man I was wondering how these were holding up. I have a pair of gascans that I e had for 2 years with prizm lenses. Still perfect condition, just want to add some color to my all grey Oakley’s and I saw this video. Are these replacement ones still good.

[@osamabonjovi6764]

I have the prizm lenses. Do they have replacement for those?

[@Biblicalgiants]

Hello. Are these replacement lenses as thick as the original Oakleys? I've purchased some polarized Gascan replacement lenses from Revant but they were thinner than the original ones and didn't fill out the lense cavity areas of the shades. They had extra play and looseness. Thank you! Good video!

[@AdventureOne]

They were pretty close. Since this video I have moved away from Oakleys entirely. Durability just couldn't compare to my Costas

[@Biblicalgiants]

Yeh..Walleva or Revant sell replacement lenses for a fraction of the price of authentic Oakley lenses.

[@slippyg]

Revant gives me a reddish hue. Not a fan. I loved how the original lenses were colour neutral

[@mikejones2083]

I felt as though both distort your vision

[@allisondoty4815]

@@mikejones2083 Agree. Cheap Aftermarket Lenses Are Just Not Clear Enough.

[@satchb2k]

Good video, bro. I've had oakley sunglasses for quite a while now and totally agree with you on how easily they scratch and even peel off. Got new 2 pairs of Walleva lenses for my Racing and Split Jacket after watching your video. Kudos!

[@RM-rj5ok]

I keep my heritage 3 pair RAZOR BLADE in the case, I take them out only for special events. Great Video Thanks for the info.

[@TheJames762]

Seek optics is an option too! I like my replacement lenses from them so far.

[@AdventureOne]

Nice. I have been wearing Breed Optics recently and the lenses are holding up really well. Seems like there are a lot of fairly new companies with quality options.

[@EddyMetal60]

You must not care about lens distortion if you use Seek lenses. Things will be slightly warped with those. If you don't care then fine.

[@grllaspeak]

Good Video. Unfortunately I don't see anything for EVzero path on their site. Shame I would've paid the 70 bucks for the Tungsten prizim but Oakley just won't make them for zeropath. Thanks

[@jasonm6111]

I like the walls a lens clarity, but it scratches way way too easy. I had my gas cans in my sunglasses holder compartment in my car(overhead) and the vibration from driving must’ve shaken the gas cans a lil bit and I had a ton of scratches on both lenses. I was pissed off pretty bad and now trying legend lenses.

[@slippyg]

Fook me man, this video could've been 1 minute!!

[@bobfrasure8436]

These are probably good for casual use. There needs to be a more thorough analysis on aftermarket lenses since it’s unlikely they are built or rated for the likes of commercial, competitive or government users.

[@AdventureOne]

Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend Oakley's for any commercial use. They are just not durable. Italian made plastic

[@crisyorke1328]

My Juliet hero lenses and pitboss lenses peeled off!!

[@19Bearsfansince79]

Original pit boss?? Are you SURE they're not fakes?? Where did you purchase them??

[@Timanator]

Yep, Oakley lens suck, I am down to 2 pairs of Oakley from 12. Last 3 pairs, the 2 polarized delaminiated within 2 years, and the non polarized is all scratched up.

[@19Bearsfansince79]

How are you cleaning them? There's a special process to it

[@Freakingnewguy2012]

I just ordered me a pair of those lenses. I hope they are as good as you say lol

[@allisondoty4815]

I have yet to find a good quality replacement lens. Yes they all look decent from the outside but looking through them, they just are not as sharp/clear as they should be, if that makes sense. I just can't do it. I need perfect clarity and others just don't have it. This is why Oakley marks them up to ridiculous amounts of money and they still get it. 😩

[@AdventureOne]

Years later, that is why I switch to Costa with real glass lenses

[@TheSummit396]

i ride motorcycle a lot and shit from the road and bugs scratched mine up real bad

[@drifta1167]

Both look good but I prefer the red🤔

[@ktownperp]

15:06 that’s what she said

[@AdventureOne]

[@xc8487]

Revant seem like good replacements.

[@mikejones2083]

Revant distorts your vision....I hated them

[@firdausmarzukimohamad9560]

I have a few pairs of Oakley. All I know their glass compare to B&L..frustrating. The only I like bout Oakley is ANSI Z87.1. Other than that, not going to buy pricey Oakley brand anymore. My canteen 1.0's.. have to bear with spoil ear sock. So much regret

[@salazteca1]

Oakley frames are awesome , durability on their lenses suck balls though

[@dcash7018]

I went with Zeiss lenses - no problemo

[@professorx45acp42]

Bonehead move to put into pocket, on shirt or backpack. That's the issue with people, they think since it is expensive it should be indestructible. NOPE, just more expensive. They are better than cheap gas station or Walmart sunglasses but not indestructible. I have the fuel cell as well. Have had them for 12 years and no issues do to the fact that I put them in a case every time I remove them. Take care of them and you will not have any problems.

[@AGC828]

Oakley's are overpriced for what you do get (I have a pair of Custom Holbrooks + 1 pair of Prizm Polarized lenses). Finally an honest user review of the lenses!! :) They work but they are overpriced. The Oakley replacement lenses. Won't buy another pair. My Prizm Polarized cost me almost $150 w/ tax/shipping. CDN$ Shooting glasses? Try Magpul :) Replacement lenses that cheap...don't know if they would work or end up damaging our eyes. Noticed this brand on Amazon. Along with Revant...more expensive but cheaper than Oakley's.

[@antvapes7620]

Great video.

[@michaelsalgado654]

My fuel cell lenses peeled off!!

[@christophersmith588]

My fuel cells are doing the same thing, to be fair I have had them for like 5 years but for 120.00 it shouldn't be as much of an issue. Have you replaced the lenses? If so which brand did you go with, and how are they holding up?

[@19Bearsfansince79]

Ok so my question is this....what did you use to clean them with??

[@AnEnglishmanInNewYork71]

Great video, you hit on a lot of key points about Oakley glasses. They're definitely my only go to glasses. Walleva is a great option for changing lenses

[@aeromedical6750]

Love Walleva lenses. They fit perfectly and are a great value vs. original Oakley replacement lenses.

[@1Raphael]

look them up same test as Oakley just as good

[@19Bearsfansince79]

Wrong sir.... I would like to compare them to the clarity tests

[@jeremiah9841]

I just got a pair of gascans that have a prescription

[@808ERIC808ERIC]

Lenses are plastic, so not sure how glass would get in your eyes

[@absolutesandman9525]

How to prevent scratches 🤔 maybe put them in the microfiber bag and case before you throw them in the backpack......Yeah makes sense👍

[@datsunliam5514]

Bloody love my offshoot oakleys but god damn i hate how shit the lenses are. The company i bought them through do a deal that if you damage them in less than 12 months you get the next pair for half price. So i make sure they are well used and get a brand new genuine pair for 60bucks lol

[@EddyMetal60]

Revant Elite replacement lenses are the only ones that come close to Oakley's. Dude be more careful with your glasses. I never scratch mine because I'm very anal about keeping them perfect.

[@jamesf8783]

Anybody have good luck with revant lenses?

[@ckidphotography1318]

James F recant is good.. I have a pair. But they are thinner than the OG Oakley lenses

[@mikejones2083]

I found them to distort my vision

[@Karaoking-rb-zw1ix]

I order my 2 pair of lenses from revant, is made from China and the Oakley flak jacket lenses is thinner than the revant lenses and scratch side of my frame. But still good

[@James-hh1lq]

I prefer iKON lenses awesome

[@Gnarlysquirl]

sponsored review. probably shit. That's the point of wearing Oakley, they make great lenses

[@boofingdragon]

Its funny how people think you can make a high performance lens which the feature set that Oakley brings to the table and make them scratch proof. Sunglasses are disposable. They are not meant to last for years and years. 1 year is the performance life of sunglasses. Even if you have no scratches the coating will start to break down due to UV exposure and chemical exposure from the environment and lens cleaning chemicals or soaps. Awesome knife by the way.

[@gman69455]

Chris Clark have definitely had my costa cat cay’s for 4 Years now and I fish almost daily and they are still in great shape. Not loose at all. Actually have minimum wear. Yeah when I drop $200 on some sunglasses they better last me more than a year of driving around, fishing, and mowing the lawn. My spy optics dirty mo’s didn’t make it a couple weeks before the lenses started shutting on me.
