Didn't Hold Up At All

Ranked #285 - Sunglasses

I've had these sunglasses for a 4-6 weeks and they have fallen apart. I've had Oakleys before and they have held up for several years. I must have bought a lemon! These weren't even sat on or stepped on (yet) and they just collapsed. Oakley is excellent about fixing their products but this seemed to happen too soon to warrant a repair. I'm hoping Backcountry will fully refund my money or send me a new unjinxed pair. Will let you know what happens...

If you send it back to Backcountry, they WILL replace it. I've had these glasses for over 2 years, and they have held up great. A few scratches on the lens (high wind knocked off on a hike) but still great. Awesome for driving and working on snow. You must have gotten the runt of the litter, BC should pay for your shipping...IMO
