Oakley Factory Pilot Left hand arm

[Gerallt Jones]

Hi all, I'm hoping someone will be able to help me. I have an old pair of Oakley Factory Pilot
sunglassess, but I have lost the left hand arm and 'wrap around the ear' extension which has
rendered them useless.

I know that they are old but they were a gift from my parents and thus carry some sentimental value.

Does anyone here have or know anybody who'm might have, or of a shop that has some old stock of
Oakley spares who might be able to help me out.

I require the LEFT hand arm and 'around the ear' extension to it.

I have been in touch with Oakley UK, no luck.

Cost would not be an issue.

Thanks in advance,

Gerallt Bryfdir Jones.

Please reply to [email protected] but revmoving all the dashes.

Send them back to Oakley and they will fix them for free.

1) i have moved your comment to the correct place (ie the bottom)
2) did you miss the bit where the OP stated he'd tried Oakley with no luck?

try www.nfr.co.uk Nationwide frame repairs. I used them a couple of years ago to repair an old pair
of my wife's Ray-bans. Their site says they can get spares for Oakley so worth enquiring

He probably did. Oakley USA have a reputation for repairing anything sent to them.

I've had good luck with my oakleys. While out riding a week ago, I shook my head (bee headed toward
my helmet!) and they fell off and went under the wheels of the car not too far behind me. I figured
they were gone for good (they're pretty old, so it wouldn't have been a huge loss). Instead, all I
had to do was pop the left arm back on. I was pretty surprised!

That's funny. A few months ago I was making a descent, and passed a truck. I turned my head to check
where he was, and my 10-year-old Oakley's flew off. So I had to slow from 58mph and go back up to
get them. All I found were pieces of plastic, and a bent lens.

Slightly amusing, since the original packaging said something about "if a lear jet lands on them,
just pop the earpiece back into place". But my next pair of glasses were Oakley's anyway

Hi, I have emailed Oakley in USA and in UK, a few days ago. Before posting here I telephoned Oakley
UK who said that parts were unavailable. I have not yet received a reply from Oakley USA, I suppose
they're busy. Anyhows, some kind people are willing to send some parts over, all I would like to get
now would be the wrap around the ear extension to the arm. Thanks to all of you for your help and
suggestions.

All the best,

Gerallt.

Hey,

Holy Jeepers!! You mean to tell me that one of you RBR Douchebags can't part with the Pilots that
you wear every day driving on the expessway to get to your little office?

The guy just wants someone to send him a part. Looks like he'll pay for it. He isn't going to send
his sentimental glasses back to the Irvine Orgy House for a quick lost in the mailroom episode.

Mail yours to him via USPS mail, and be done with it. And while your at it, lose the dorky sandals.
Summer is over. Time to grow up.

Thanks, Ronde Chumpion

You might be able to get them replaced for $25 from Oakley. I have done it a half dozen times
although usually they were only broken in half from the cracks that develop from changing the lenses
a hundred times or so. I have never been turned down. Note that the only "M-frames" covered these
days are the "Pro M" and the "New M" (looks like the Pro-M but with hinges). The first generation
M-frames are no longer covered by the replacement policy. I too have a set of Pro M frames that were
run over and now reside in 4 pieces with gouges on them. I don't really need another set but some
day I will get around to trying to get those replaced too.

Good luck.

I've still got my old Oakley Pilots somewhere - if I can find them - you are welcome to the
earpiece. I never used those loopy ones. I really loved those shades!
