Ok, so at the beginning of the season I baught a pair of Oakley wisdoms, Black with fire lenses from Getboards. Well my fourth to last day skiing, first run of the day, I was doing a blue square groomer, anddd for some reason, My right ski ejected. Well, in my battle to stay up at that speed, I faceplanted pretty bad.

Well, I didnt notice it then (I noticed in the lodge later on) that my Inner lense is cracked. It comes from the left side of the nose peice up about an inch and a half. I have no clue how this happened on the INSIDE.

I didnt trash my goggles at all, besides a few scratches on the lense here and there, Thier in pretty good condition.

Now does anyone know if Oakley would be able to warrenty this? I'm not looking for new goggles, just a new lense. I didnt abuse them, so does anyone here know if they could send me a new lense if i send them the old one? and also, does anyone have any experience with them?

Go to your nearest Oakley goggle dealer and calmly and cooly explain your situation. I'm sure that at worst, you'll get a discount on a lens, and at best Oakley will warranty it.



Freezy deletes all my posts because he doesn't like me, so I suggest you message him to make him stop.

damn dude, if you posted this earlier i could've gotten you a pair of lenses for pretty cheap - a couple friends of mine work at a skate/snow shop and they had replacement lenses up until a couple days ago that i would've been able to get for around 50% off.

just get the persimmion lenses - they're something like $35, compared to $70 for the mirrored ones.

oakley is always awesome about warrentying my sunglasses ( i have 7 pairs). I usually break atleast one pair a year and they always replace them free of charge and fast. ...it helps to work at shops and know reps though

as the guy previously said, get the persimmon (sp?) you can see at night and at day, the mirroed lenses are just for the day and the hi intensity is only good at night.
