Desperately looking for new lens for Oakley A frame 1.0 - these are obsolete but I am hoping someone somewhere has a lens they can sell me ?

What colour lens?

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

TBH I'd just be really grateful to get a lens, they are my back ups. I cannot see them anywhere and Oakley says they are complexity obsolete now and they don't stock the lens anywhere.

@Dunoon65, I've got several but they are in Austria and I'm not there till first week in march. Are you looking for low light or full sun?

Full sun would be great ! I would be happy with low light if I can't get anything else, I like the fit of the frame and I want to use them again. I'd be happy to pay for the lens as well as postage to Scotland ?
regards
Linda

I was in exactly that position last season - my low light pair is permanently fogged/smeared inside, and the iridium coating on the bright light pair is scratched to death. Couldn't find any lenses and came to the conclusion I was just going to have to buy new goggles. Haven't managed to find any yet, though, cos I've got a very small face and most are just too big. I've just looked at the face foam, and it's pretty knackered on both pairs, I don't think replacement lenses would actually be worth it - hardly surprising since one pair is 18 years old, and the other not much newer than that!

I am really hoping that I will get a replacement lens, people on this site have been amazing ! Like you I have a small head and face and these goggles suit me great. I've had them for a long time unfortunately my 6 year old nephew "polished off snow" from the inside of the lens and wrecked them completely ...

Same happened to me, luckily I had 2 pairs. Hence lots of lens!

@Dunoon65, Pesky children! That's what's happened to my low light pair, but I think I only have myself and 17 years of use to blame.
@holidayloverxx, I never had more than one lens for either of my pairs, and they are still on the original lenses, hence now knackered!
I've been looking for a reactive lens pair to replace both, or a mag change lens system, but they all only seem to be in medium/large frames

You know it makes sense.

@Dunoon65, I've just been rooting around in my ski bag and come across my old A Frame lens. I managed to find a replacement a few years ago as the old one had a couple of small scratches on, and I'm very particular.
It's a persimmon tint. If Holidaylover can't find his and you're OK to pay the postage (I'm guessing about £4), then happy to send it over.

Is the a-frame you're looking for the shape with the big vent on each side below the lens ?

@Dunoon65, here is what I've got
The black ones are a bit marked, I thought they were OK. The other one is fine. You can have them for postage. Message me if you want them

I have tried to up load a photograph of my lens to no avail, mine has 16 holes across the top, I am sure from the photographs that yours is the same ! Could you send the best one to me please ? I am happy to reimburse your postage of course, I can post cash or pay by Paypal if you give me your email address ?
I am very grateful for your kind offer, as I was starting to give up hope of every getting a replacement lens at all ... Gratitude to you and tremendous appreciation for helping a stranger out ...

@Roguevfr, its usually very hard. I tried some years ago and couldn't get any lens for love nor money
that ebay one is Model A Frame 2.0, the OP was looking for 1.0 (which I am sending her)

@Roguevfr, no idea about facebook as you have to be a member of that page to see it. but yes, that ebay one is version 1.0 (even though it doesn't say so), I searched for sold items and a different one came up. A surprising number available now.

They're posted on several "selling" pages as well as marketplace .
To find, one must first search
Grasshopper.

Update. The OP lied. She said "TBH I'd just be really grateful to get a lens, they are my back ups" and "I like the fit of the frame and I want to use them again".
She just sold them on ebay - albeit for charity, but it was disingenuous not to say that's why she wanted the lens. I would have still let her have them for nothing, if she had been honest. It's left a sour taste.

Flicking back through the thread, it didn't look like the OP was that kind of person. I really hope it's just a misunderstanding somewhere. Forever the optimist....

@ratkinsonuk, nope, she emailed me this morning to let me know. she now says her husband bought her new goggles so she "put the back up pair to good use"
edit: on reflection I think she was just a bit clumsy about it all

I think she's genuine, but would have been better to contact you and offer the lenses back first. Live and learn.
