Reviews & Ratings for Oakley SI Ballistic Shocktube Replacement Lens — 1 review — Page 1

Overall, this is my third set of lenses on these glasses, including the original ones that came on them. These are the second replacement set I've gotten. This is not due to any problems with the lenses. The lenses are great sunglasses, and since all the Oakleys that I wear have safety glasses specs, they are also good PPE. The first, original set was ruined when I was using a timmer or edger and a rock flew up and hit in the middle of the lens. The lens didn't shatter, but did have a scratch that impaired perfect, unobstructed vision. But my eye was unharmed; if not for the Oakleys, I'd for sure have lost that eye. The second set was my fault. Usually when not wearing the glasses, I put them on top of my hat and the bill of the cap, along with the built-in tension keep them on my head, or I put them on backwards, have the lenses below the ball cap line and stems over my ears. Sometimes, if I was only going to have them off momentarily, I'd place them around my neck, in the same direction as if they were protecting my eyes. This was before I lost 43 pounds, so my neck was fatter. So, of course I had them like this in my garage and they came off my neck, and landed lens down on the concrete floor. Again, lenses didn't shatter, but one was scratched, in my field of view, and being OCD, it bothered me. For reference, I am one of those people that cleans the front and back car windows with the washer fluid and wipers before every single drive.
