So generic. Must have been quite the boardroom meeting.

How does one pre-order such an item and can this be done to any pair ? I'm not going to purchase these at all, but I'm curious how the pre-order system works. thanks.

Oh ma gawd .. just looking at the last few posts with all the new eyewear. What is management doing over at Icon 1 because it's not making beautiful products that stand out . All that's ugly and generic. Ah well.

Is the pleasure overall larger than a Holbrook for example. I’d definitely like to snag a pair of those but I barely wear my Holbrook as they’re just a touch small. Any thoughts. The measurements I’ve found only do frame width & then lens height and not frame height.

So I'm having loads of issues lately logging into my Oakley account. About a month ago they did an update and changed some stuff around and ever since I have to enter my log in user name and password over 10x to get in. Sometimes it'll "login" my name will appear but as soon as I click my account it takes me right back to the login screen.

I emailed Oakley and they responded with some pretty passive gaslighting. I can log into the Oakley Portal fine and dozens of other accounts without issue, but somehow it's my fault I can't log into Oakley.

I've been using handme down MacBook Pro's a new(ish) MacBook Air and an older iPhone 7 for years logging into Oakley with the Safari browser without issues. Anyone else having Oakley website issues ?

Thanks.

Whoa !! I had no idea that Oakley had the Hydra and BXTR all the way back in 1997 and seen in the X-Files Season 4 episode. "Demons" 23 (16:30 ish)

pffft... Oh man, how did I not notice that little help button/screen before. ha, now I feel silly.
thanks for sharing that info.

If I selected a Sutro model that had the vented lens and selected the lens option from that model.. they should in theory send the corresponding lens, correct ? Same with any special edition lens ie the TroyLee logo on it.

Just a couple questions about how the Portal works.

I have a 40% Oakley discount coupon and was hoping to get some replacement lenses for my Factory Pilot and TLD Sutro's and I guess that's the only place they're available. I also want to get lenses for my Radar EV and Jawbreaker but not all the replacement lenses I'm looking for are on the general Oakley site

First question, will my coupon code work on the Portal ? Can you order any lens from any model even if you don't own that pair. (Is it strict on what you can order)

Some help on part descriptions.
•Trim-2
•Masks (is that lens ?)
•Temple / Extra Temple is that frame colour and in the case of something like Jawbreaker, upper or lower ?

What part description would be the lower jaw on the jawbreaker ?

Thanks in advance.

Finally saw a pair of Baxter’s the other day & was rapidly disappointed in them as soon as I touched them. The frames plastic feels like a cheap automotive dash & creaks like mad. The overall shape of the brow seems off too . Too straight , no thought put into it. It definitely wasn’t of Oakley that’s for sure. - ooSnip3r

UGH, that's disappointing to hear. That being said - the clothes pin-esque ear stem or not I was looking forward to the BXTR Metal. - yelkao

The Baxter metal only grabbed my attention because of the Factory Pilot text added to the model. Not sure why you can't have the Factory Pilot in the standard version. Not that it would actually make a difference for my anymore, that plastic is horrid.

So will this Muzm racing jacket be the larger of the two gens ? (I hope so)

Agree with the clothes pin. It's pretty bad. I'd consider the Baxter in the Factory Pilot edition, up until the rest of the arm. Why can't they just factory pilot the original version. The O just doesn't suit it, same with the Sutro.

That elliptical O looks like an after thought or that they wanted to hide it rather than have a bold elliptical O . This is just Oakley de-branding themselves. How long till the Oakley name is dropped altogether & which Lux brand will replace it ?

They needed to at least use the factory pilot text on the arms & either the same for the lens or the classic stretch text. Or drop the price to reflect the drug store location that they’ll be sold at.

Hopefully there’s enough Muzm racing jackets made so the whole community can get one. I missed out on getting these in my youth but badly wanted one. The guys that buy 20 of these just to scalp really contribute to Oakley devaluation.

Thanks for the wishes & hope everyone has a very festive holiday season!! More nog!

Definitely pit viper vibes. Lol another pass.

Maybe if they made the icon bigger they’d look cool.

Meh, generic with nothing of interest happening.

The only official Oakley store that was in BC was the Metrotown store. Technically is was operated by Oakley USA. The remaining stores in Canada are Oakley Canada stores. The Oakley retail store in Whistler is open and has been for some time. I know because I’ve been there enough times that the manager recognizes me when I walk through the village now. The Whistler Oakley store isn’t operated by Oakley, it’s operated by Whistler corporate. Vail owned. They carry quite a decent range of new Oakley products.

So the new Sutro Verve looks really cool. However I'd want to swap out the lens and the icon to a vented Factory Pilot lens (OEM Oakley, not aftermarket) and Factory pilot text icon. But looking through replacement lenses, it doesn't look as if the Factory pilot lens is available for single purchase and curious how one would get there hands on and swap out the icon.


Re:Factory pilot lens. I have a few other models with Factory pilot vented lens, once those get damaged. How does one replace them or put in different colours?

Just another generic piece in my opinion, where’s the O icon you can barely see it & nothing Oakley on the bridge either. Just another Chinese catalog design. Not buying.

Looks like anything you could grab off a drug store rotating sunglass rack. What’s with the design team at Oakley lately? Are these just generic Chinese catalog orders with Oakley logos on the side ?

They should have experimented more with that Titanium 3D printed technology for those and the Holbrook Ti. These are just generic looking wire frames that any company could make with an anorexic O icon on the side. Either way Oakley going generic is saving me a lot of money lately.

Ooooo Prizm chrome !! I wanna see that lens.
