| i have a huge scratch right in the middle of my lenses and i am gonna need to get em replaced...... i just called an oakley dealer and they reckon that if i send them back to oakley they will probably replace them for free......... has anyone got any experience of this? it seams a little unlikely (but excellent if it happens........) |

| Tis true. Oakley guarentee their products for all sorts of things. I've known people stand on theirs, break them and get a replacement! |

| unfortunately the lenses are usually NOT covered, especially the iridium, check with oakley direct, i've never managed to claim for scratched lenses, snapped frames on a 10 year old pair of mumbos, but not the lens! |

I can guarantee thaty oakley will not replace lenses for free.....
Only frames and arms and stuff get replaced for free....
You can try them though but I think you'll get a bill for the lens. Might be cheaper to have a nose round sleazebay..... |

 lets just say I've never paid more than trade for any item from oakley.... 
I know for certain they dont replace lenses for free, but frames Ive seen loads of frame replacements, even totally demolished, run over by a car replacements..... |
