Fake Crowbars?

I was lookin on ebay for a h.i. yellow lense and i found this.  It says that is a 100% genuine oakley "light yellow"  i thought is was fake because it doesnt look like a h.i. intensity yellow and to my knowledge oakley does not make "light yellow" lense.  But the thing that really convinced me that it was a fake was the lack of the foam around the inside edges of the goggle.  What do you guys think?  Here is the picture of it...Click for larger image
the sellers name is Click for larger imagehongnga75 and he has some other suspicious looking products op there.

Don't buy them, because you can see from the picture that there is only 1 lens, not 2, so they will fog a lot easier.

He ain't legit. He's also got purple iridium lenses up for sale, which aren't even made, and they aren't double lenses like all snow lenses are. They're not moto lenses either because moto lenses don't have vents.

Fake or not, "single" lenses are useless for skiing, They will fog up all the time. Maybe the seller stole a whole bunch of unfinished oakley products from the factory or something cause I called oakley and they dont make single crowbar lenses and never have. They looks real but who knows....   Stay away from this seller!

ummmm no man, crowbars and a frames and nearly all goggles are double skinned. That's what reduces the fogging. Please know your stuff before you post.

Two lenses act likes double glazed windows, the air in between acts like an insulation, finding a medium temperature between the outside (cold) temperature and inside (warm) temperature. That then reduces condensation/fogging/icing. It's common in all goggle technology.

Not so.  All of oakley's snow goggles have some type of double lens. 

Anyway, to the guy who wrote this, I actually bought a pair of a-frames off this guy and it is tough to call him out.  The materials and things he is selling are not fake, they are just incomplete.  The outer lens he is selling is actually an Oakley lens, but it is missing the inner lens for some reason, and thus won't be effective against fogging.  So if you never hike or walk around much, like just downhill groomers and don't get hot, they would be great, but if you hitting a rail and walking back up, or do any climbing/hiking for pow, they wouldn't be great.
