Hi, new guy here from SC

[spudz]

Hey, name is Cole. I've been a Oakley fan since I was young. Im 38 now, I bought my first pair at 17 that I still own along with hand full of others over the years. I am proud to say while some are battle scared and some have replacement parts, I still own every pair I have ever bought including another pair I won in a contest. That is what brings me here. My original pair of black Oakley xx twenty glasses have sticky ear socks and nose pads. I've probably replaced them 4 or more times over the years. Originally I was able to get them from sunglass shops, then Ebay and now I cant seem to find a replacement rubber kit for them. Can someone point me in the right direction or am I out of luck at this point?

Aloha and welcome to the Forum.

They're extremely hard to find now. But they do pop up now and then, but gotta be quick. Or you can place a want-to-buy thread. We have an exchange here, but there are new member restrictions you'll have to clear before you can access the exchange. You'll need to wait 15 days and have 15 posts. On the very bottom of every page you go to, are links to the Forum Rules and Exchange Guidelines. It's explained better there. Understanding how things work around here will help find what you're looking for easier. Good luck.

Welcome to the forum
That sticky feel is common as they age. Some people have said they deal with that by various methods, like boiling them in water , but Ive never tried that method myself. Someone may be able to help you out, good luck.

Some people use corn starch or baby powder on the unobtainable socks/nose pads.
