 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi - I'm based in the UK and looking for lenses for the Oakley Airbrake (the smaller, older model!), ideally Prizm ones!
Can't seem to find them online though - there was a single one available on the Oakley website when I checked but it has since been sold! Anyone have any information if these are still being produced by Oakley, as it seems no online stores hold them currently!
Any help appreciated.

@eushengho1, Hi and welcome 
The full goggles are still being sold by Oakley, which suggests they haven't been discontinued. It could be a supply issue. Their customer services are usually pretty helpful – drop them an email with what you're looking for and they might be able to tell you where you can get one from, or info on when they might be available.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I've found Oakleys customer service to be excellent so I'd recommend emailing them to check on availability.

@Scarlet, I think the OP is talking about the Airbrake rather than the Airbrake XL model the latter is the only one I can see on the snow section of the Oakley website. I think for snow goggles, the Airbrake XL replaced the original Airbrake although they do make something which looks like the old Airbrake for motocross and mountain biking and there are lenses for those!
@eushengho1, I got 2 Prizm replacement lenses from Freeze Pro online but it appears they have sold out now. Snowinn are listing a couple in stock but aren't cheap.

Ebay is also worth a look, I got a spare pair of second hand Airbrake frames with 2 lenses for around half the cost of the above lens in the summer! Lenses also come up there as I have listed some non Prizm ones previously.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@DrNo, Yes, you're right. I thought I was looking at the Airbrake not the XL.
Even so, my advice still stands. Oakley sometimes have a bit of overstock/end of line stuff that you can access by emailing customer services and asking them what they've got lying around

Thanks for the warm welcome!
@scarlet @spyderjon I'll definitely drop a line to customer service then!
@DrNo Yeah exactly, the old Airbrakes over the XL! Have you had any experience with snowinn? (they've got really bad trustpilot reviews)

Fun update - just managed to buy a lens (PRIZM Snow Rose) off the official Oakley UK website!
They were out of stock when I checked yesterday but got lucky today!
