Looking for info on Ballistic Shock Tube in Canada

Looking into these glasses (with a script) for shooting IPSC...Saw a post by someone named RustSpot who hasn't been seen since 2020...

SI Ballistic Shocktube Review - All style, no substance

First off, HUGE thanks go out to @schnitzeraffe who loaned the pair for this review. No questions, just shipped me a pair and let me hang on to it for several weeks as I try to get a free chunk of time to write this up. A true asset to our community. The thread title sounds harsh, but I will...

There are two screws that hold the bottom of the frame together to facilitate lens swapping...Rustspot had swapped out the screws from the black that came with the glasses to chrome (metal) looking ones.

I was wondering about how to do that and also looking for arm socks...can anyone tell me if there is a source in Canada for all things Oakley....particularly the SI (Standard Issue) line and/or the Ballistic line?

When I call stores, I just hear crickets. Thanks!

These pairs came with a plastic screwdriver (I believe it’s a torx bit) which is used to loosen, or completely remove, those screws. You can probably buy those screws, as well as earsocks, from the Luxottica service portal. I don’t know if it’s country specific, but it’ll at least get you on the right track.

Shocktubes don't have earsocks.

Shocktubes don't have earsocks.

Understood...and thanks for your reply...I was aware they do not have ear socks, and also wanted to know where in Canada I can find accessories for Oakley. DBNinc has steered me to the Luxxotica portal. Thanks again for your response Slojack

I've seen in the past people use shrink tubing when glasses don't have earsocks but are wanted.

Looks like they pulled the original black ano bolts and put in standard satin silvers that came from a Jawbone/New Racing Jacket.

You need a T20 Torx screwdriver to remove the bolts.

Some aftermarket bolts you can find on amazon/ebay have satin silver finish, like oem while others are more polished metal finish - they don't really specify this aspect are folks are buying them for the colored button face not the backs.

In terms of sock, as others mentioned this model didn't come with any. You'd have to DIY something either retro fitting some existing model onto your arms, perhaps trimming them to your liking or go with heat shrink wrapping.
