Hi O fans, being a fool I have spent a few years putting my Scalpels on my head to the point where the polarised blue lenses are all crazed on the inside; does anyone know of decent replacement lens companies? I see loads on eBay and Amazon, but they all look made in China and quality may be dubious, and I am unsure. I am UK based too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ahhhh! The reason why my Unknot frames are the worst with the bubbling is because they are the ones I used for tennis - sweating like a beast and putting them on my head as the sun went down! Jason, you have cleared up this issue for me, thanks again.

Thanks Jason,

I have wised up to the hair product thing, after years of ignoring it! I do clean with lens cleaner, but I think the head and hair thing is the main issue for me. I have ruby lend Juliets from 2000 too, and the lens are like the day I plonked £250 on them, but I have never put these on my head, even inside, the glasses stay on my face! I will get new lenses later on in the year for my Scalpels.

Thanks again, Paul.

Hi O fans, some of the lenses are peeling/crazing on the inside of some frames (Scalpel, Unknown, Straight Jackets, Pitbull). Is there any way to fix this or should I be looking for replacement lenses? I have seen people on YouTube use sticky tape, but this also pulls the coating off, making the protection factor of the glasses less. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I have loved Oakleys since I bought my first pair, X metal Juliet with ruby lenses (they still make me feel like Cyclops from X-men) and now, 27/28 pairs strong. But, and here is the big but, I am now 43 and thinking that Oakleys are for younger guys, not a European man like me (British/Maltese/French). Whilst I love my straight jackets, I am thinking that they are designed, like most wrap arounds, for a younger man. What do you all think? I would value some thoughts on this as I am considering consolidating my collection.

The Game: You are right, I am an idiot! I must have had August on my mind.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I have decided to customise a new pair of Flak 2.0. Black splatter frames and ruby lenses. QLR1 is right, a sporty frame is ideal.

Hello O fans, I need some advice please. I will be in Orlando Disney World in two weeks' time and I am thinking that wearing Juliets will not be a sensible choice as they will fog up because of the heat. I am taking three pairs of Oakleys: customised Flak 2.0, half jacket 2.0 with violet lens/white frames and I really want to take my X metal/ruby Juliets, but two years ago the Bad Man frames I took fogged up and i do not want the Juliets to do the same.

O fans who live in Florida or somewhere hot and humid, not like the UK where I am based, what do you think/what are your views? I need some advice!
