Super User MarkH024 Posted August 23, 2013 Super User Posted August 23, 2013 Resurrecting this thread.Today I noticed on the inside of my left lens, there is a big area that seems to be worn out on my lens. Almost as if a layer of tint wore off or simply evaporated. I only use a polyester lens cleaner to clean my glasses. The problem is now that when I look towards the sun or scan the horizon, it creates a glare that I'm not liking at all. I emailed Strike King about this today, so we will see what I hear back. I'm hoping they'll replace it but I did buy my pair from an Ebay retailer so I'm not sure they will. Anyway, I'm kind of bummed as I really do like the glasses a lot. I will post again when I hear from Strike King. Quote
RoachDad Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Surprised more people don't wear Oakley. I have some Batwolfs that are polarized and a day out on the water with those is amazing. Hmm, I am pretty sure a lot of people wear Oakleys. This is just a thread about the other glasses. Quote

Do you use a spray on sunscreen? Quote

No, lotion only. Did you get yours replaced or even try? I use J Crew Fiber in my hair during the week. I am wondering if it is from the hair product when they were rested on my head. I typically don't use these glasses for daily wear, but my other pair finally broke. Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted August 23, 2013 Super User Posted August 23, 2013 Wow man. that's much worse than mine. I'm not even sure I could capture the damage by picture but I will try when I get a moment. Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted August 23, 2013 Super User Posted August 23, 2013 Here is mine. You can see the slightly different shade in the inside of the lens. That is not a glare, it's like the first layer of lens wore out or something. Quote
RoachDad Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 this is good stuff. My Oakley's are ready for new lenses. I was debating buying new Costas. Now I will get these 40 dollar glasses and just get my lenses replaced in my Oaks awesome. Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted August 23, 2013 Super User Posted August 23, 2013 I have to say, A++ customer service from SK. I got an email back in less than an hour: Mark, we are sorry for the trouble you have had with the sunglasses. If you will send them to Strike King , we will replace them and send you a new pair and something extra for your trouble. Thank you for using Strike King ProductsI'm good with that. Shipping will cost me 5 bucks to get new ones. However, I would like to know what caused it. 1 Quote

Super User MarkH024 Posted September 9, 2013 Super User Posted September 9, 2013 I got my package from Strike King today. My glasses were replaced with a brand new pair. I also was given a Strike King hat and a 2014 catalog. Free stuff is good, wait time was a bit longer than I expected but lapsed over a holiday weekend so I understand. All is good now. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted September 9, 2013 Super User Posted September 9, 2013 Just throwing it out there but if anyone is interested in trying a pair of Costa 580 Glass at a discount (250 retail, get them for 170), shoot me a message. I know this is akin to posting Daiwa stuff on a Shimano thread, but we are talking about your eyes. Gear is replaceable, eyes are not. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted September 10, 2013 Super User Posted September 10, 2013 Wow, not a single PM? That's surprising. Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted September 10, 2013 Super User Posted September 10, 2013 Post in the Flea Market, I'm sure someone will bite. Maybe they're scared of the beard. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted September 10, 2013 Super User Posted September 10, 2013 Nah, I'll just let it ride here. I throw the offer out occasionally. Quote
