Oakley Prizm Maritime Lens | Open Water Review

[Rado]

Thank you for your information @Xformr!
I joined up last month so I am still learning about lenses and the different types of frames. Is it correct only the OakleySI site sells the replacement maritime lens then it will be “cut” to accommodate a different frame?

Yes, Maritime is only available through the SI site. Here is the Donor lens guide Donor Lens Guide 2018 - Quick Reference Guide (cacatman)

Thank you @The Dark Gnat.
Will take a better look at it.
I had glanced at it before.

First of all, welcome to the forum! Kinda sorta late, but welcome! You can learn a lot here, spend a lot of cash here, and definitely waste a lot of time browsing through threads!

Yes, Oakley SI is the only place that openly sells all of the select frames that do have Maritime, but they do not sell ONLY the lenses as a standalone (edit: save Speed Jacket), if I recall correctly. They can sometimes be found through ebay and other online retailers, like Tactical Gear (think that's one if them). Their prices are usually full blown msrp though, so always a stout investment. A lot of folks here seek donor lenses to be cut for discontinued badass quintessential Oakley frames like the X-Metal line, Pit Boss, etc. Straightlink frames are relatively universal to X-Metals, but the guy before gave the thread full of info.

Also, I got home too late from work to add pics. I'll try again tomorrow!

The only maritime lenses that can be purchased separately on the si site are the speed jacket lenses which are donors for juliets!

Good call! Fixed previous post.

Good call! Fixed previous post.

On a separate note, I still find it odd that they are still the only style sold separately while many other frames are marketed for their ability to switch lenses.

@Xformr and @The Dark Gnat thank you again!
No rush on the pics. They just shipped my order:

SI Shocktube Prizm™ Maritime Polarized
PRIZM MARITIME/MATTE BLACK
Shipped*
I am trying to be as cool as posssible, but I wanted them the moment I saw the lens.
Btw, OakleySI is having a member appreciation day as we speak. The Speedjacket lens is 1/2 off of normal price. So you know what that is.

Testing this frame with the maritime.
