Very happy with my purchase.

Great so far. Now my only worry is that with to much rubbing of the lens due to finger prints or smudges, my previous pair started to peel off. These are my first pair from this company, I’m being extra careful with them but so far great lens. Oh and the extra accessories was really nice, unexpected sun glass soft pouch and extra rubber pieces for my glasses, 👍🏼👍🏼 for that. Thank you.

Pros
  • Fit like a glove will buy from again.
Cons
  • THE VISION OF THE LENSES WERE GREAT. BUT AFTER 6 MONTHS THEY BEGAN TO DELAMINATE.

I had debated whether or not to buy true Oakley replacement lenses for awhile. After I considered that buying new Oakley lenses would essentially be purchasing 75% of a new pair anyway, I figured it was time to try something cheap. I researched the variety of after-market lenses available on Best Buy.Long story short, got these and have used them the past many months. Took them to the beach and into a salt water pool and they always cleaned up just fine. Very impressed so far. So let's do pros…

Pros
  • I like em
Cons
  • May not fit all face shapes

Great for the price

I ordered a set of the black polarized lenses and socks for my Flak XLJs yesterday. Recieved them today and immediately installed them. The first thing I noticed was that the front socks don't fit snugly. They have a little wiggle room. the back socks fit really well. Putting on the nose pads they felt easier to put on but at the same time more secure than Oakley nose Pads. Now onto the lenses. They definitely aren't heavily polarized. you can put both lenses perpendicular to each other with…

Pros
  • They are cheap and fit in my Oakley’s….I used this to refresh a very worn and loved sunglasses.
Cons
  • The lenses are not polarized

Cheap Plastic Lenses. Edges Fail Inside Your Frame

These lenses are made out of inferior plastic and the locking tip on the edge of the lenses fails after about a month of use and the lenses fall out of the frames after that. This is the second pair of lenses from this seller that have failed in the same way on two different sets of frames I have had for many years. Save your money. These lenses are junk.

Pros
  • The rubber pieces fit tight but that is a good thingAnd the lenses fit correct
Cons
  • The lens are not clear and will make you dizzy. Bad quality.

Replacement nose pads is all I needed

I went with this combination since I need replacement nose pads and the price was right for what else came with them. I/m pretty sure the yellow lenses are not polarized since they don't give the same checkered rainbow image on my car windows like my actual polarized Oakley lenses do. They work fine for shooting lenses, not so much for sun glasses though. Overall, I am happy with the purchase and the fast shipment.

Pros
  • Ok
Cons
  • Fit on one of the lenses is a little loose, other than that they're great.

Glasses broke trying to install

I was having difficulty getting the lenses in perfectly, so my husband offered to try. He snapped the glasses in half, trying to get the inner part of the lens inserted. Not sure if the glasses are just old and weak (6 yrs old) but now I have to buy a new pair, which is what I was trying to avoid doing by buying these lenses.

Pros
  • For great and good price.
Cons
  • Takes too long to receive the product

Great indoor replacement.

For the money they are perfect. Darken quickly and lighten up quickly. I work inside and out without taking them off. No they are not noticeably dark in the sun. They do block the glare from the sun for me though. I will purchase again. Wish they made then for wiley x.

Pros
  • Provides superior protection against harmful UV rays
Cons
  • Not suitable for prescription lenses

Pros

Cons

Good value but has sharp edges

These lenses are polarized, come with replacement rubber, and are a great deal for the money. However, the edge is sharp and I cut my thumb pretty bad pushing the lens into place. Wear gloves when you install.

Pros
  • I absolutely love these lenses they look great and are very comfortable #recommended
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ frames

Great customer service

One of the lenses Cracked while installing on frame. I submitted a review stating such. I didn’t request a refund or replacement but the seller reached out to me and sent a replacement within a few days.

Pros
  • Easy to clean and maintain for a long lifespan
Cons
  • Sock may cause blisters or skin irritation on the feet

Worth the money but no higher.

Fit of lens and rubber parts was perfect. Lens quality is worth the money. Time will tell how durable these are but so far no scratches

Pros
  • Great polarized lenses, comes with bag and all the replacement rubber arm and nose pieces.
Cons
  • May not be as durable as advertised

Clear eyesight and protection!

These worked great for not only sight but protection. During work today I had a piece of metal fly toward my face straining my lenses at a high speed, there is a mark, but no crack. Definitely will be buying again.

Pros
  • Fully customizable to meet your specific needs and preferences
Cons
  • May not be worth the investment for occasional use

Nice lenses, socks and pads wrong color

Great polarized lenses. Liked them enough to keep the whole package. But had to use some other replacement socks to get the root beer color I was looking for.

Pros
  • Lightweight and comfortable to wear for extended periods
Cons
  • May produce a distorted view of reality

Defective lenses - my new review

I like these lenses and the company but this pair was defective. I was very pleased at how fast I got them replaced at no charge. Thanks so much!

Pros
  • Very happy with the product. Glad recommend to others.
Cons
  • Lenses may scratch easily

Fit my Original Product Just perfect

I love the way these lenses fit in my frame. Easy to replace. The polarization is really good. I have been using it to walk an run, and sweat has pour down on them and the quality remains perfect. Great product.

Pros
  • Compatible with polarized or non-polarized lenses
Cons
  • Lenses may smudge easily

Good for a short period of time

I bought these lenses based on the reviews. I didn't put them in my frames for a few months after I bought them due to my old lenses lasting a little longer than I thought. After about 90 days installed, much less wearing them as we live in the midwest, the coating just started to speckle and peel off (see picture). I have only used the included lens cloth/case that was included and I store them in the same case when not in use. Before they started to flake away they were very good lenses and I

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting construction
Cons
  • May not be the exact match to the original lens color

Poor quality optics

Fuzzy optics. I wanted to like them at half the price of the oem, but the quality of the image is about half as good. I’m throwing them out when the new Oakley original lenses show up.

Pros
  • Available in multiple colors to suit personal preferences
Cons
  • Sock may be too thin and tear easily

Slow to transition, not very dark

Transition effect was extremely slow. Much slower than any I’ve used in the past. Also, unless you’re staring into the sun, you’ll never get close to the max light blocking power it claims.I wanted to use these for range glasses, but due to very light sensitive eyes, the amount of light it still let in was a no-go. Couldn’t justify keeping them when comparing the actual product to the claims.

Pros
  • Blocks glare effectively for safe driving
Cons
  • Limited availability of replacement lenses

Brought new life to old frames

I lost my Oakley XLJ Flak Jackets and found them in the gravel road a week later.The frames snapped back together and were in good enough shape to salvage for a spare/yard work glasses. The rubber and lenses were toast so I ordered these and they fit perfect and looked really good!The ear socks and nose pieces were really comfortable and the lenses provided good protection.Well, I dropped them in the road again and ran them over so I will try to buy just the lenses, if not I'll reorder as these

Pros
  • Enhances contrast and sharpness for better visual acuity
Cons
  • May cause discomfort with extended use

Awesome lenses for Oakleys

These lenses are awesome! I like the clarity the look and they were easy to install and fit perfect on my Oakley’s. And for the price, its a steal! I’m picky about lenses and drive a lot in the Texas sun, the polarized lenses cuts the glare and I can see the road great. That’s a bonus safety feature for me. I’m glad I purchased these from BlazerBuck. Definitely ordering more in other colors.

Pros
  • Great value for money with the replacement lenses and sock kit included
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with facial hair
