Just read your post correctly.
Now purchased!!! Thanks.
Repeat after me.
I don't need another pair of Oakleys.
Hmm, I may be forced to treat myself.
Awesome PSA, swithered over the full price, these were a giveaway. Ordered. 😀
couldn't resist that, I've been debating news lens for my flak jackets...and this is only slightly more than that!
do you know if the code works with anything else? tried a couple and it didn't
Gold Star PSA - thanks.
Thank you for that. My daughter pulled mine of my head last week and launched them onto the floor killing the lenses! Much appreciated!
Thanks 😀 great psa! Bought some obviously.....
Hrm, tired it there with no Success- its the ones with the red frame ya?
red and wide frame, need the code, works on the round lensed version too according to HUKD (where this was no doubt found, so expect them to sell out quickly with the vultures descending!).
worked fine for me; bought, obvs!
Yeah, tired the code but it said that it wasn't valid with current promotions (or something along those lines.) could be my dutch internet
Good shout. Only just got new lenses for my previous Flak jackets, oh well.. Another pair on their way now 🙂
Many thanks! Cheaper than replacement lenses for my Fives Squared...
Worked for me!
Cheers for the heads up. 😀
Reckon there is going to be a few disappointed people, looks like the code was available on HUKD 18hrs or so ago...

Indeed this may well turn out to be the case but worth a try!
Must resist.
Couldn't resist I'm so weak
Thanks for PSA
Treated myself.... Cheers!
Well will see if they turn up
Last time this happened Oakley ended up a being me some for free !
Anyone with Oakleys that have trashed lenses, might like to check out this site, Flak Jacket XLJ lenses are $32:
http://www.revantoptics.com/replacement-lenses/oakley-flak-jacket-xlj
I have their +Red Iridium analogue lenses in a pair of original Frogskins, and they are indistinguishable from original lenses.
I'm looking at a pair of their Strike lenses for my old Mumbos, their Polarised Titanium Mirrorshield lenses are $42, against £75 for Oakley lenses.
I have no connection with Revant, I found them while looking for replacements for my Froggies, and was chuffed to bits with them.
Not the Flak Jackets biggest fan TBH, and the code doesn't work with Radarlocks 🙁
Well will see if they turn up
cant see why they wouldnt, this isnt Oakley cocking up a promo discount code, this is a discount outlet store. I had some Five Squareds off them for about 30 quid a while back thanks to sale and discount code, and I seem to remember a similar PSA where a load of STW bought some massively reduced glasses, and 90% decided they didnt like em and re-sold em to those that had missed out! I PSA'ed a similar discount at Sunglass Shop where £80 Oakley goggles were £29.
just to balance the post about Revant lenses above…
i bought some polarised green iridium ones for my frog skins. they look ace, but are unusable as glasses - they have distortion to them that is like wearing someone else's prescription glasses. shame as they look brilliant - perhaps its just the polarised ones?
Bought!
I'll wait to see what the Strike lenses are like, it'll be a while before I get them, but I've put my Revant lenses alongside my original Fire Iridium Froggies, and there's no noticeable distortion with mine. Might be yours were a flawed pair, Revant seem to be a pretty big operation, so might be worth returning the lenses.
There's another place I got lenses from, called Sunglass Fix, but they don't have such a wide range of Oakley, or the range of coatings, but they do lots of other manufacturers, and they also do some unusual ones, like rimless WHY8's, which I've just got a pair of lenses for, along with an old pair of Arnet Ravens, and their lenses are pretty good, and cheap, too. They also do custom lenses, cost around $32-42.
Ordered a pair earlier and it said 320 in stock just looked now and down to 120 in stock so it seems like the stock counter is going down as people order them.
Down to less than 60 now...
Couldn't see the stock counter but just ordered mine easily enough 😆
Bought too. Thanks for the headsup!
Already appearing on eBay for around 95 quid 🙄
All sold out now.
Still showing in stock fro me?
Probably a bit late for those who've already ordered.... but code FREEPACK adds a free oakley backpack to the order. Code seems to stack on ok.
Managed to resist buying these- do I really need another pair of flak jackets?
Got my confirmation through.
Didn't really need another pair.
Couldn't resist as they are red ones
Out of Stock when you try and add to basket!
Too slow!

About a day too slow thanks to the combined masses of STW and HUKD, given 16 hours ago Leigh posted

The ones popping up on ebay are using stock photos (identical to eyewear outlet) so chancers are probably listing them before theyve even received them...
Code is still working for me!
Which glasses are you trying to buy with it?
I too cant find the Flak Jacket that works with the code! Given I have just misplaced my last set of cycling glasses, this would be very helpful!!
Which glasses are you trying to buy with it?
Ones that have sold out again!
Thanks shaggy, got my order in last night.
Just had my dispatch notification!
Missed out due to a camping trip. 😐
Mine too. Now I need to think up an explanation of how my black oakleys have turned red....
Had my dispatch notification too.
Good buy that
Ditto DT78 - just got my confirmation through as well 😆
Just have a huge Oakley display cabinet filled with pairs of them, no one ever notices more being added 8) 😆
dispatch email here. reckon I got in last 🙂
Mine turned up today. Luvverly Jubbly! OP - you are a scholar and a gentleman. Merci beaucoup for the PSA.
Was tempted, but red.... with my complexion.
Thanks for the heads up though.
Got mine today 🙂
No more cheap sunglass buying for me!
I'm wearing mine in the house as I type this!

Indeed - muchas gracias!
"We missed you...." Note has lead to suspicious wife and some guilty white lies....
Yep, big thanks to the OP, mine arrived today, at work so safe from prying eyes...
I'm wearing mine in the house as I type this!
Me to. Thye Arivd thsi morgnin :O)
Dispatch note yesterday. Many thanks OP.
Back in stock this am but now £64. Still a bargain.
Still a good buy.
Hoping mine arrive today as they are a present for my son for being so good whilst I was in hospital on our holidays. He took a shine to my racing jackets whilst I was stuck in a bed!
And free delivery at the moment too, so not much more than previous
Brilliant update DRAC, many thanks got mine ordered 8)
I keep hovering over the buy button.
Do. It.
I've just taken delivery of my brother's pair for him
Shut it.
Postie banged on the door early this morning and literally threw a small parcel at me.
Cheers dude
Is it still just the red frames in the sale?
It 'only' takes £35 off the red ones, doesn't seem to work on the others.
Off to wear mine round swinley in a bit.... Didn't realise the rubber bits are grey, would prefer black tbh.
Lens tint looks pretty dark too.... Oakley website says its for very bright light. Is it any use on a typical British summers day?
Give me 7 hrs or so. If I haven't reported back it's because I couldn't see properly and wrapped myself round a tree...
What's a typical British Summer's day? I wear shades when the sun is shining and it's bright, that can be anytime of the year.
Mine just arrived. As an Oakley virgin I have to say I like them, fit feels good,

🙄 Gotta love this forum... always helpful
It was a flippant way of asking whether the lens tint would still be ok for mixed use - woods, shade, overcast etc, or whether it was a bit dark. Not that keen on being plunged in to darkness as soon as the sun goes behind a cloud or the single track passes under a few trees....
Maybe this will help, Chris:

scroll down to the lens tints bit, and it simulates different lenses in different situations.
IMO the Black Iridium is too dark for off road riding on anything but the brightest days. I wear my Flak Jackets as casual glasses (never really struck me as a particularly sporty design), and it's a good lens for general use.
Grey or slate iridium is better for the woods.
Black iridium is 10% light transmission
Grey is 17% transmission, I use these in my radars and can ride in low sun/woody conditions.
@ Jamie, Njee20, crofts2007 - thanks!
to re-iterate what drac/houns have said for the waiverers, they are currently doing free postage (this week only apparently) which offsets some of the increase in cost of the glasses. Loads now hitting fleabay, cheapest is £75.
Did anyone use "FREEPACK" code and get a backpack?
