Replacing 1995 eye jackets that went up in smoke!

Hi guys,

Newbie here to shamelessly re-live my youth. As a young teenager in the early/mid 90s I saved up all money pocket money and cash from babysitting to buy Oakley eye jackets.

I had 3 pairs that I bought in 1995 - dark green snake skin like with gold lenses, cobalt blue with red lenses, and black with a sort of white stripe / fingerprint pattern.

Sadly, my house burnt down in a bush fire August 1998 and all of them went up in smoke!

I've done a bit of reading, and reckon that in 1995 these would have been Eye Jacket 1.0s? I would be keen to replace them. Can anyone give me the product codes? What sort of cash are we talking for pairs in good condition?

Thank
 
I've also just read that the 1.0s are brittle and prone to breaking? Do the 2.0s look pretty much the same, but are just a bit more durable?
