Hello All! Trying to revive my Radars that I picked up in Baghdad back in 2007/2008. The polarization has partially scratched off on the lens, the rubber on the nose guard is falling apart, and the rubber on the arms is doing the same. Even still, I wear them all the time. By far, the best sunglasses I have ever owned.

You can get a new black polar lens from the O site, if you want.

I am heading there now. I assumed they wouldn't have them since these are pretty old. I currently have some aftermarket pieces enroute. I hoped they would suffice until I found some NOS or "gently used" for sale.

Unfortunately they only have them in Path or Pitch.

What is the difference? I think the Pitch lenses have the extra dip on the side notches (which mine does).

I am no Radar expert. Here is a pic of all the different shapes.
