Official Fakes/Possible Fakes Inquiry Thread (ARE THESE FAKE? POST FAKES HERE)

Every pair I’ve ever seen that has a square in the sku was fake. Interested to know what @GRFMotorsports thinks

Me too until that. And then checking mine.

I can say from personal professional experience, we had an update with our payroll system one day and all of the “image” characters (like the Oakley O in the sku) printed as squares. Could just be a simple case of a production hiccup.

I dont recall seeing the square on the arm with the sku however I believe I recall seeing the square on the bridge sizing marks before. Just going off my foggy memory.

That’s true, I don’t think I’ve seen it on a sku either.

Send the picture of the box label to CS. If you get a decent agent they can track the production lot number and tell you if that is legimate. If not, then you can just return them.

It's weird, the site you bought them from appears to be legit.

I think we can settle at least the 3P deal though. Both boxes display that with the one in a section that has rx, so I wonder If that is a indicator of some kind for rx lenses.

I have looked on some of my other polarized boxes, prizm and iridium and all say 3P.

So it basicly looks like there's no real consistency anymore with how they do Sku's.

I stopped by my store today to pick up some frogskins lenses and decided to research this a bit.

Gibston with ellipse

Gibston wirh square

Helisostat with ellipse

Heliostat with square

Gascan with square

They also had a gascan with an ellipse and a gascan without any size markings and just the sku.

They had a bunch other models with random sku marking as well.

Maybe it's a new thing so ppl can see on the frame that it is polarized.

Potentially. I'll ask next time I see the reginal person at the store.

Bought these from Amazon with great ratings and feedback.
When they arrived
Concerned based on serial number location and also because it's standard polarized not prism p per the photo in the add. Thoughts?


Thank you for the feedback
