No they aren't and you need to quite with that. What will wind up happening is the end user will stretch the frame out over time because they are taller and the heat in the summer and so on will cause this to happen. Then, someone will be stuck with a Boss that OEM lenses won't fit in properly. Hate to come off like this, but it irritates the crap outta me when you keep posting this. What you need to clearly advise is "Split Jacket will fit with very minimal modifications" this way nobody trashes their frame. If they don't fit right, they don't fit at all. Simple as that. Not to mention when you shove a lens that is only "slightly" larger into the frame, it distorts the **** outta the optics because it is pinching the lens from it's natural fitment...

Now, as far as replacing the lenses, never send them into Oakley and get hammered for fees. It is as simple as changing any O Matter frame lens like a Dog, Gascan, Fuel Cell, etc. They appear to be tougher, but are not. They pop out from behind (cover them with your microbag and push from the inside upper corner, and POP out they come)...To install, place the outer edge in first, then press in across the top to the inside upper corner and down to the bottom, Snap, it's that simple. No video needed, no worries, and always handle em with your bag or a nice microfiber detailing towel (although those tend to pinch into the frame between the lens at times) and you should be safe. Don't fear tugging on the frame a little or pressing a bit, you won't hurt the lenses unless you Conan them or some crazy sh!t. Pretty easy..

thanks for the information Doc. may i ask what lens you use to make the variations? I am 99% sure i will come to you for a change in my Pit bosses. Great post. very insightful!
