Background



Well, I’ve been in New York for the last 6 months and never heard anything about the Oakley Frogskins LX at all until a week ago when I saw an old post in a local forum.



As I’ve recently posted a thread “Too bored of Frogskins” and got rid of most of my Frogs, which were Smog Plaid, Marine Fade, Grenade Fade, VR46, Blacklight Green, and Polished Black. Now that I have only the Jupiter Camo to represent my Frogskins collection, it was less than thrill for me about this find.

Frogskins LX are an Asian exclusive for now, but weren't popular at all, and may hit the states sooner rather than later. Was told the lenses are not compatible with the regular frogs though.

My Frogskin LX titanium, has a "China" stamp inside the stem

China??? Wow, what happened to Oakley???

Thanks for the feedback though.

Pretty sure they aren't Asia exclusive any more. They were at the store in Vancouver, Canada.
I could very well be wrong though.

don't think you're wrong dude, there was talk that they were moving them onto the States and UK etc. coz sales in Asia were not that fantastic, they weren't exactly flying off the shelves. =)

as for lens fitting, that info was told to me by a sales rep, and we all know how accurate their info can be at times. so unless someone wanna give it a shot and do an actual lens swap, we will never know for sure i guess. ha!

Looking forward to hear if the lens swapping works.
