does anyone know if the lenses from a split jacket will fit/are compatible with the frame on the wind jackets?

are they both the same frames, just with the differences of the strap and removeable wind deflection feature?

thanks

Yes, the lenses are compatible and they are exactly the same frame. In fact, WJ frames will say "Split Jacket" on them. The only difference is the attachment and strap.

One of the first things I did after getting the Ghost Text WJ was switch out the stock lens with a Split Jacket vented Fire Iridium lens.

cool, so next question, can you buy the strap seperately which goes on the wind jacket to put on the split jacket?

There is a WJ Upgrade kit available that turns normal Split Jackets into WJs. The kit comes with both the WJ gasket and strap. Don't know if they offer the gasket and strap separately, though.

From Eyespy0099's gallery:

I've been looking for this gasket kit and haven't had any luck. Do you have the Oakley sku from the box? Thanks

Brent, the kits are available at my local Oakley vault if you want me to snag one for you.

WJ's are pretty unique. I went for the Ducati and immediately swapped in some +red polarized lenses. These should be really interesting for winter sports/activities.
