Anyone else have the lens “peeling” issues with Oakley? I had a pair of Bolle glasses that didn’t last more than a weekend before it started to peel on the inside. And it wasn’t caused by a scratch. Every Oakley pair I owned had this issue: tombstones, radar, flak jacket, polarized, prism, photochromic, non polarized, etc. I’ve owned a pair of arnette polarized glasses that were used daily and it didn’t have this issue. 
 

Switched to ranger phantoms which have been great(clay target shooting). 

I’ve had Various sets of Oakley’s the past 20 years and I’ve never had that issue. You must have some potent sweat!

Must be that toxic sweat... lol. Not sure why the Arnettes lasted over 10 years used almost daily without being cared for. Talking with a Randolph rep, he said something to do with lens coating that some manufacturers use

I'm needing a new prescription for my shooting glasses, so I checked this thread. Great info here.

 

I have the Pilla Rx glasses. I can wear them all day and not notice them. The Rx insert works great as it's fully adjustable.

 

I highly recommend them.

Thank you

Can anyone recommend single power RX lens/frame combo for -7.0 with Astigmatism?  I have shot with contacts all my life and now am considering RX shooting glasses but am struggling to find makers that can go up to my needed power/axis.

 

I'm leaning towards a single power lens instead of an insert (never tried an insert so maybe i'm off base) due to my RX and lack of peripheral vision.

 

Any suggestions and experiences welcome.

Thanks,

Check Hunter’s Gold. Great knowledgeable people.

[RH39]

Hunters HD Gold in the frame of your choice.

Another vote for Hunters HD Gold.  Really knowledgeable people and absolutely great product.

 

 

Good and Be Safe!!!

Ive been shooting with Pilla Panther's for almost a year now. Came with three different lenses and I have zero complaints. Amazing quality and comfortability.

I love my oakleys I have the speed jackets but I’m now a believer in the hunter HD golds … and they put the golds in my oakleys so win win

Second that

To date I always used the Pilla Panther X7 with clear lenses. I bought and tested the Hunters HD Gold specifically for the use on indoor ranges (not outdoors). After several months of testing I really prefer the Pilla over the Hunters HD Gold. I'm working on a review video.

Nike trainers three different lens options. Figment is not the best going to try out Oakleys 

[Hvansky]

would love to try hunters hd at some point

Brisn is set up at most major matches and let's people try out his Hunters HD Gold glasses or every local I have been to someone is wearing them

I have HD Gold for indoors and prefer them over clear.  Just got a pair w/HD Ruby and am surprised how dark they are.  Even outside on a bright sunny day.  Haven't shot with them yet.  Both pairs are Rx lenses in Oakley frames.  I didn't care for any of the Hunters HD frames.

I currently use Hunter's HD Gold!  Glasses are awesome, customer service is awesome, and Brian is double awesome!  If you see Brian at a match, he will let you try a pair!  Do it!  

[DewarsH2O]

I have Oakley frames with prescription lenses in the color Oakley suggested for shooting sports, a kind of gold prism.  Outside they are awesome in all light conditions.  Several of my friends have had Hunter's Gold prescription lenses installed into Oakley frames due to a personal preference.  

 

Looking forward to seeing Hunter's Gold at one of my local matches to see what the lense options are, I believe they make a lense that goes from light to dark depending upon the level of brightness that I am very interested in.

I have a pair of Pilla x7 with the 98ar almost clear lenses. 
 

What is recommended as alternative lenses colors for bright Sunny days? 
 

I shoot idpa, so I’m looking at cardboard mud and grass.

Hunter's HD Gold. Brian is awesome and supports the sport.  Great glasses and better people.

I 'm trying out a new pair of Hunter HDS Ruby glasses. The first think I noticed is the ruby lenses filter out blues and greens. Both appear black. A local range had a home-grown SC type event with different colored plates. The green ones were like a black hole and blended into the background. I also noticed because of this, green traffic lights are also filtered out and will appear to never turn on...lol

Hunters HD sent out certs to every USPSA and SCSA club that renewed this year. I think the Hunters are objectively a clearer lens and mine have held up for 5 years now. 

You might shoot them an email about new lenses. They have a massive facility and can do prescription and clears in addition to the standard Gold and Ruby.
