As long as it can't hurt.

Would it hurt anything to apply nanoclear to a lens treated with the factory bonded hydrophobic coating?

Ok, and for the factory bonded coating: Is that applied to both sides?

Dose anyone know if Oakley lenses with the factory Hydrophobic coating are treated on both sides of the lens? Has anyone tried applying the nanoclear lens pen to the inside of the lens (the side that faces you and gets the most sweat on it)

Well for anyone interested: The Straight Jackets from Zappos DID have the blue sticker and did NOT include the nano-clear pen. They had a date of 6/1/09, so they are definitely older than the 2011 model that came with the pen. So, from what I can tell they should have the real bonded...

I contacted them and while they really didn't know anything about the hydrophobic coating other than what the description says, they did say that the polished black/black iridium model is of the limited edition first 2000 production run...so maybe they WILL have the coating included? I think I...

Is there any older stock out there? Zappos description says: "Own a piece of history by getting a limited edition from the first production run. With a unique serial number to mark its position among 2000 select frames, each Collectors Edition will be one of a kind."

Anyone know if you can find the "older" version with the bonded coating in stores still?

I don't think the directions say to remove them.

That's even worse. Who wants to remove the lenses from Straight Jacket frames every time this stuff wears off?

Also, the NanoClear stains my matte frames. Got a little bit on while applying. What a rip-off! Thing is, if you go to a store, you may get the older version with the bonded coating. So to add to the confusion, there are really 2 different versions of certain glasses out there.

Costs seems like a real possibility. But how can Oakley get away with advertising something and selling you something else. That's flat out flat false advertising and for those prices it's just wrong.

So basically they are falsely advertising the coating on their website? Why the change? I have emailed them as well and am hoping for some kind of answer. It would seem I have a newer build....perhaps the rev.B?

Hello, I just received a pair of Oakley Straight Jackets (model 24-124) that I purchased from Amazon.com (not form their marketplace, but actually from Amazon). I have a question about the lenses and also a concern that they are in fact real Oakley's. The same model of these I saw at the stores...
