RevantReplacement Lenses for Oakley Whisker

EDIT: After about a year of using these replacement lenses, I like them less and less. Read the original review below for details on why I'm not a huge fan, and it's mostly down to a blue-ish tint that the black lenses have. I bought another pair of genuine Oakley glasses (different style) at the same time I bought these lenses and the genuine Oakleys absolutely destroy the Revant in terms of quality, clarity, and color. For the price, they're not bad, but if you rely on sunglasses like I do you'll want something better quality than what the Revant offers.ORIGINAL REVIEW: The original lenses in my Oakley Whiskers have seen better days. The coating on the inside of the glasses had started flaking off. They still looked fine when looking through them, but I figured the coating was there for a reason, and if it was coming off they probably weren't filtering something the same way they originally were. I picked up these Revant lenses since Oakley no longer makes OEM lenses for the whisker. I went with the black polarized lens so it looked exactly like the original lenses. The Revant lenses are decent. They are thinner than the Oakley lenses, but they went into the frames just fine. I was surprised that these lenses included a glasses bag and a screwdriver to unscrew the frame from the bridge. Bonus points there. The lenses seem fine when wearing the glasses; and they are definitely polarized (My verification test is looking at a polarized LCD screen at an angle and watching the picture go black). My only complaint is that the tint is noticeably "cooler" (color temperature) than the Oakley lenses. I can tell that there's a very slight blue cast to the tint. It makes me feel like somebody turned the color temperature down a few hundred degrees while editing a digital photograph. Overall, it's good for the money, but they're not as nice as OEM lenses.

When the film on my 8 year old pair of Oakley Whiskers started bubbling, I visited probably a dozen sunglass and eyeglass shops over the course of several months, to no avail. I tried Oakley official stores and then was shocked to hear the model had been discontinued. I have a small face and normal sunglasses are just to darn big. I kept wearing my hoopty Whiskers until the lenses were so bubbly and scratched that they impaired vision. I started looking for replacement pairs on EBay and other sites but old Oakley Whiskers were selling for more than what I originally paid. Out of desperation I did a search for replacement lenses, which brought me here! There are quite a few companies selling Whisker lenses so I did a lot of comparison shopping, asked a lot of questions. I choose well. These lenses are crystal clear, even clearer than the original Oakley lenses. They match perfectly and I was able to install them in less than 10 minutes (I watched a YouTube video for guidance). The hardest part was not losing the tiny screws! I was even more pleasantly surprised that these lenses came with the required screwdriver. I also upgraded the ear socks which you can find on amazon for cheap. So for less than $40 I have revived my Whiskers for a few more years at least!

There are people who reviewed on Amazon that these lenses don't fit. I can only assume those individuals have knock-off Oakley's because these lenses fit PERFECTLY. I mean PERFECTLY. They take about 30-45 seconds per side to install with the handy little screwdriver they give you. I cut high-end sunglass lenses (polycarbonate and gold coatings) for two months in college and most sunglass manufacturers use really cheap lenses, BTW. For example, Porsche uses a material called CR39, which is optically terrible. It's too early to say how these compare optically to Oakley's. The polarization seems adequate (but not as intense as my Armani's)— I went for the uncoated black lenses. Considering the overall very poor design on the Whisker sunglasses themselves (the tips of the arms scratch the lenses when they fold up; what idiot thought that up?) you should really look a better pair of sunglasses but if you just use Whisker's for travel or for a pair of sunglasses you don't really care about, these inexpensive replacement lenses by Revant fit the bill. Especially since Oakley has discontinued their very overprices replacement lenses.

Love my new glasses

The best thing I liked about these lens was the fit (exact). I've yet to test the polarization. These lens allow 12% of the light in, which is not dark enough for me - to sheer. I can wear these sunglasses indoors and still see my way around. There are lens on here that allow only 8% of the light in AND are cheaper, I'm about to try a set.

I am a bit of a sunglasses fan and prefer wire frames over plastic, so i have several pair of Oakleys that i would like to put fresh lenses in. Fast 2 day delivery as expected. I just did the install and I have one issue with the lenses, each lense has a small gap near the nose, it should not affect the way the lenses work unless they pop out. As other reviews point out the lenses are thinner than the original OEM lense but that means that they also weigh less which I view as a postive.I will update my review after a few days of use. I would like the lenses to work out as I have several other pairs of Oakley that could use lense replacement.

The lenses are about a millimeter too small. They fit in the frame, but even with the frame tighten as much as possible, the lenses can be knocked out with a minimal amount of force when cleaning. As long as you're careful when cleaning, they remain in the frame. I do worry the lenses will fall out at some point.

I have ordered a couple sets of these lenses and they're okay. The don't fit quite as well as the original Oakley lenses but otherwise they do the job. The polarized versions aren't quite as "polarized" as original Oakleys but you can tell they're polarized. All of these lenses that I've bought are a little thinner than the originals and for that reason will pop out occasionally, especially if put in a purse or jack pocket, etc.

Good price, close to the original lenses.

Très content de donner une seconde vie à mes Oakley que je possède déjà depuis 7 ans, les barrettes sont excellents je ne vois aucune différence.

Encajan a la perfeccion
