⚠️ CONDITION REPORT & NOTES: > * Lenses: The massive single-shield Plutonite® lens is in good, wearable condition with clear visibility. Unlike most vintage shield glasses which suffer from heavy peeling or deep center scratches, this lens looks great and the glasses can absolutely be worn as-is.

  • Frame: The hinges are tight, and the frame alignment is straight.

  • Nose Pad: One clear silicone nose pad is missing and needs to be replaced. Replacement Oakley nose pads are very inexpensive and easy to install (generic replacements can be found on eBay for less than five squid).
