Jigawatt regular lineup...

Whatever it is, it looks like some of it is 'flaking' off here in this shot. These photos were somewhat hard to capture.

Hey, brother, thanks for the advice. I had a quick chat with Chris, and he took total care of me. They're sending out a replacement pair of lenses. Exceptional customer service! Still, though, I wonder what that is. I remember seeing something similar in another thread awhile back. I remember @Broccoli replying to someone who posted similar images, something along the lines of "it looks like fingerprints." It looks like a heavily concentrated grouping of microabrasions. Could be something gone haywire with one of the coatings? Delamination? Who knows. Anyway, I'm all set and happy. Thanks again!
Honestly I've seen that before. I believe it was due to too tight of a fit or bending them a little much when installing. Not calling you out. But I think I did that one time on a pair of juliets that were difficult to install. Just my .02. None less their customer service is amazing !

Today is the very first day that this Matte Storm Jigawatt has seen the light of day outside its box since delivery. All factory - OEM.

They may have some manufacturing issues with the lenses here and there....the Gold Polarized lens set that I purchased basically delaminated out of the box and a quasi install attempt the Gold coating just started peeling and flaking off. Decades of Oakley and hundreds (thousands possibly) of lenses I never had anything remotely like this happen so I have to imagine it's new manufacturing process growing pains 😀

Thanks for sharing your lens issues. Something to be aware of. I ended up purchasing a few more than I needed for my review so I am going to look close at them all. I have been wearing chocolate and sky regularly and I did notice when I got some finger print or condensation on them it was considerably harder to buff out with the MF cloth. To the point I thought I just wasn’t going to get it out. I did manage to buff on it enough to clean them but it did give me pause.
