Thanks, but I think that is just the regular replacement parts and not the Asian fit ones. I believe the Asian fit nose bombs are larger than the regular ones.

One of the (black) nose bombs fell off my Flak Jackets XLJ and looking for replacement. What are my options? Does anyone have a pair I can purchase? Thanks, -Nick

I posted a question to the ebay seller about how noticeable they would be with my Desert Gascans. Based on his reply (below), I just bought a set in black: "These Adjusters are made to be concealed on the interior dimensions of the framework. When the sunglasses are folded open and on your...

I just emailed the seller, but with the Desert color, I am wondering whether black or white would be less visibly noticeable when put in. The feedback is generally positive, so it seems worth the $6 to try.

I have a pair of Gascan Desert glasses and they are so wide that they will slip off my face. I realize it is pretty much all plastic, but is there anything that can be done to make them a little tighter to the sides of my face? Thanks, -Nick

Echav (Ernie) is hooking me up. I should be good to go. -Nick

As I was going to clean my FJ last night, I noticed I was missing the right side nose bomb (I think that's what they are called). They are the bigger ones. Rather than call Oakley (I have no Oakley stores within 3 hours of me) and order the entire rubber kit and pay an additional $5 for...

I spoke with a USSI rep today on the phone and at first he said the hydrophobic listing was wrong because he thought Oakley had phased out the hydrophobic feature. But then he said, no it's on there. I told him that I wasn't sure because my sweat makes a huge mess and water seems to leave...

anyone?

Looking at the product description of the Flak Jacket XLJs on USSI's site, it says "FLAK JACKET™XLJ features Oakley HYDROPHOBIC™, a permanent lens coating that prevents rain and sweat from building up on the lens. It also repels skin oils and other contaminates, so the lens is smudge resistant...

Yeah, after reading the review, the only thing that I never really see covered is their impact protection. Even though I am not in the market for any lenses, I'd like to hear about that.

From my warranty paperwork "Amber Polarized, Ruby Iridium, and G26 Iridium lens tints are not suitable for driving or road use (European Union standard EN 1836:2005). Dark Bronze, G30 Iridium, G40, Gold Iridium, Titanium Iridium, and VR28 Blue Iridum lens tints must not be used when driving...

I spoke with an Oakley rep today about this and she told me that because the lenses can alter the way stoplights appear, their lawyers felt they had to put that disclaimer there. Guess they don't want people suing them.

So it actually sounds like it creates an unsafe condition?? Are the VR28s a safe alternative? Any issues with them and sudden sunlight?

Thanks, so has anybody had any negative experiences using the G30 or VR28 lenses while driving? Oakley's website says that if I mount the lenses, I can't return them so I don't want to find out the hard way.... UYZ, are you serious about the sun and getting blinded? That would be bad. Is the...
