Back story, found these over a year ago on eBay, the guy didn’t know what he had and I thought they were fake because of the condition they were in. Turns out they were in this condition because they were in storage for 20 years along with a bunch of other late 90s stuff. I never wear them because they are too small for my face and I only wear polarized lenses and can’t bring myself to change out original lenses in such good condition. I know these are about impossible to find being I’ve only seen two on eBay since and they looked like complete wrecks and were selling for $150 I knew these were worth holding on too. That being said I know that there is eye jacket collectors out there that would love to own such a mint pair with the original runners and lenses, I’m trading here today. What I am looking for is pretty broad, my requirements is that they are polarized, larger think Monster Dog, Pitt Bull, Racing Jacket, water jacket, Radar, you get the point and they are roughly the same worth of these I know that’s not an exact science. Just let me know what you got and we can discuss. I tried getting all the pictures I could but if there is any more requests I can take additional.

Edit, as per the call out below added the picture to show the R5 on the stem to show that they are legitimate, any other pictures needed please ask I will send anything needed

It’s a first series they did not have the Made in USA. Also the are has an R5 which I can show a picture of that is common with the series.

Nice score. They're legit. First gen. Blood with Black Iridium. Congrats.

Yeah I think there is some confusion on 1st gen and 1st series. I know that these didn’t last long at all because of issues with the plastic and when the new ones came out, they included the made in USA and the CE sticking out

Nice pair, unfortunately not a high demand color. I'll have to go back and look at some of mine. Trying to remember if it had the CE stamp w/o the clear coat.

Too right - they’re very nice

I had an identical pair but an arm broke, and they then got lost in a house move...
