My favorite sunnies have broke 😥 - iv'e had them for years and the arms broke. I think they're 2001 Eye Jackets.

Has anyone got any spare arms? Or some old Eye Jackets with knackered lenses that you dont want anymore?

Here they are:

Have you tried contacting oakley? Their after sales is on a par with Hope in my experience, even for really old kit

Yes they are nice, I have a few pairs kicking about - I am not so sure I am young enough to be able carry off their current designs!

Oakley are very good with their aftersales support so whilst they wont be able to get you any replacement arms they may send you the new design of the eye jacket or give you a big (say 40%) voucher for a purchase of any from their current range.

If that happens I'd be interested in your old lens and ear socks because I have an old pair with a scratched lens and tatty socks which I could bring back to life. Of course Oakley dont warrenty scratches only snappage although they will sell you a replacement lens if they are current.

+1 for Oakley customer support. I've got a pair of Eye Jackets the same as yours, but I'm after a set of gold iridium lenses.

Oakley only had some black iridium lenses left and a few frames the last time I contacted them.

I do know of an optician that will cut some larger Oakley lenses to fit, but that will be about £100. Do I like them that much????

Thanks everyone, i was hoping someone had some spares knocking about as new ones are expensive.
It was a long shot though eh? Time to dig the wallet out 😆

Oakley don't carry any spares for glasses this old.

Best thing to do is keep an eye on eBay, spares do pop up quite regularly

Hello The Doctor,

I don't suppose you'd consider selling the glasses I could do with some replacement lenses?

Thanks

For anyone that needs some replacement lens' for either the Eye Jacket 1.0 or 2.0 I have just found these guys:

Not used them yet but $28 AUD is about £18 GB and they ship post free so I just need to be up late one night with a glass of malt in my hand and I am sure to press the button!
