I have the frogskins that were actually bought in the 80's and the lenses have seen better days and I would like to replace them. I have compared the original frogskins to the new ones and they are slightly different and I think they hold the lenses differently. Has anyone tried to put in new frogskin lenses into the original frames before? And where can I get new lenses besides asking someone to part out theirs. I googled and searchededed bared and couldn't find anything on original frogskins.

I asked at my local shop about replacements for my new frogskins and he said they never made any replacement lenses so basically you need to get them from other frogskins, I've seen lenses on eBay though

You can send your frogskins to Oakley and they'll put in new lenses for like $50-$80 depending on what lenses you want.

I just called up Oakley and they discontinued the 1st gen as expected, the Oakley rep said that the lenses of the 1st gen are different then the 2nd and 3rd gen. He offered me a $30 coupon for the Oakley store for sending them in and having Oakley keeping them, but I will keep them for now.
