BREAKING NEWS!
@Bonz-1 has kindly offered to help us buy in bulk. Leave a message in this thread if you are interested!
Read my @Marien Mariener lens review here - Review of the matte Mariener lens
If you have a pair of Mariener lenses installed in your Oakleys, leave a comment (with a picture) preferably and I'll update this list!
Mariener Lens Owner #:-
These lenses (Mariener Melange) measure 49mm in height and 42mm in width
It will not fit any X-Metals except Mars (@Serhat) as per Mars on top of Mariener Lens. The Mariener Mellow will likely fit Penny but would definitely need to be hand cut for Juliets (theoretically).

Introduction
Probably some of you have heard about those crazy matte Dillon lenses.
And then...@htrap2294 alerted us to a relatively new company, called Mariener who had come up with their own technology to do similar matte lenses.
Well, the 2012 founder of Mariener, @Marien and his Kickstarter launched company has started producing an alternative lens with similar look! And somehow, he found O.F., so we can get the information "straight from the horses mouth" as it were!!

Brief Review (@Serhat)
- Seems like it is a bit darker than Torch and Ruby Juliet.
- Mariener lenses are not polarized.
- In terms of clarity, they seem a little unclear compared to torch and ruby lenses.

Questions to @Marien
- What is the Base Curvature and dimensions of the lenses? "The base lens depends on the frame style, but these particular ones are 6C, 2mm thick and 73mm in diameter, the actual cut is roughly 45mm in height and 55mm at their max for our frames" (@Marien)
- Do you have any comparison/objective tests with other lenses on the market?
- Do you have any details about how resilient/scratch proof/clear/shatter proof they are? Oakley has a good reputation for objectively proven eye protection in the event of foreign bodies to the eye, or faceplants.
- Also, do you/can you/will you manufacture larger blanks??!!! No (@Marien)
- Will you sell to us? (Dillon makes it hard for us to use their lenses)!! YES!! (@Marien)
- If you are willing to sell, would you consider a discount with bulk order shipped to one address in the USA? Yes
- What is clarity like? They rate 99.8% out of 100% in terms of clarity. In reference to an ASTM standard, tested by an BYK Gardner meter.
