Got some twentys with polarized lenses. Lenses went whicky whack...Called support, sent them in with $22.00 check for PROCESSING...WTF. Called after two weeks. Lenses were "defective"...no DUH...BUT, lenses are not in stock ......EXCUSE ME, YOU FRIGGIN MAKE SUNGLASSES...I said, " Dont care about the color, just want polarized. I will email them and let them know that, call back in a week to check on status.

HOW BOUT JUST SENDING ME A NEW FRIGGIN PAIR.... sorry we cannot do that.

130 bux for nothing. What a crock of cripe.

Never had a problem in all the years I've used them. Are you sure you didn't use some kind of harsh cleaner on the lenses?

Whenever I have had a problem with my Oakleys (which isn't often), I just go to the local Oakley shop here in town, and they fix or replace the defective part for free. Also, when I was visiting my in-laws in Orlando, I lost the nose grips, went to the Oakley store and got new ones for free. This was after I called the 800 # for support and was told they were $20.00.

Obviously if he already has a pair of REAL oakleys he's not gonna go get a pair of foakleys

I wouldn't count on quality polarized lenses. And in my case I need prescription sun glasses as I'd rather not loose a contact lense while biking or skiing etc.

Me too. I had a pair of A-Wires that the arm broke and took 30 bux to give me a new frame. Funny thing, I went down to the Oakley HQ today and took my friend to buy a pair.

Where's the best place to buy foakleys (cheapest/most authentic looking/color selection/will actually ship them to you)?

What's the big difference between Oakley's and Foakley's? I could never figure that one out besides the real ones having the name written accross the brim.

You have got to be joking. You must be a fan of the Foakley's.

I think Oakleys look pretty stupid on people, unless you're an extreme athlete or member of X-Men.

I've had a pair of e-wires for quite some time now .. 4 years maybe.

best sunglasses i've ever owned. the lenses are getting pretty scratched at this point and the rubber ear pieces are starting to fall apart .. but heck, I used them as safety glasses when helping my brother with his lawn care business. I think my g/f is going to send them in to get refurbished for Christmas.
