Just a note about the Microfiber bags.
The microfiber bags are the best thing to use to clean your oakleys, PROVIDED they are clean! I hand wash them at least once a week, and have 2 on rotation for daily use so while one is drying i have one to use. The cloths are black, and alot of the dirt and dust that can scratch lenses are quite invisible.
Another note, be especially aware of the bags that come with pairs of sunglasses you buy second-hand. I just washed out a bag i had in storage from my Romeo1's which I bought in "rarely used" condition, and truth be told, they were in really good shape. But to my surprise, the water streaming out from under the bag when i washed it under the tap was a deep brown. I mean Strong Tea brown. He must have spilled some coffee and only had his oakley microfiber bag handy. huh. Oh well, good thing i didnt use it and its all washed now and good as new.
Just wanted to get the awareness out there and save unnecessary scratches!
PS, if you go to the beach, or get your sunnies wet with salt water, dont wipe the glasses! crystal salt will scratch your lenses, and so will sand. Rinse everything thoroughly in warm water first, and let air dry, then use a fresh microfiber to wipe it clean. Obviously wash the sandy microfiber, and check for sand.
Hope your lenses go scratch-free for a long time!
